For a romance author, February is the
perfect month. Valentine’s Day…the day for lovers. Cold winter’s
nights…snuggling close by a warm crackling fire. A great book…a wonderful love
story to immerse one’s self while the snow falls. For me, nothing’s better than
escaping into a Romance Novel.
I am an avid reader. I love to read.
All different genres, depending on my mood, but I’m partial to romance. I’m
such a sap when it comes to a touching love story. I cried reading The Notebook and Love Story. I’ll admit since I was a young girl the poem, “The
Highwayman” by Alfred Noyes, has
haunted me. Who can forget “And the highwayman came riding—Riding—riding—The
highwayman came riding…”
But I confess I have a Cinderella
complex. I love a happy ending. When I pick up a romance, happily ever after is
what I’m looking for. I have an expectation no matter what obstacles are thrown
my heroine’s way, love will conquer all. Taking all that in account, if I had
to choose my favorite romance novel, it would be…Ashes in the Wind by Kathleen Woodiwiss.
I have read Ashes in the Wind numerous times over the years.
Still I’m drawn to the characters of the Civil War novel. I love the feisty
heroine, Alaina. Once a Southern Belle she disguises herself as boy, fooling
the Yankee doctor, Cole…for a while. From the book's blurb- A woman burdened by
war...A doctor torn between passion and duty...A sweeping tale of love in the
face of dishonor from the incomparable storyteller--Kathleen Woodiwiss.
Forbidden love. A Southern Belle and a
Yankee. What is it that draws us to a love that should never be? But it does
though, doesn’t it?
Daughter of
Deceit's premise is a
forbidden love. For the first
time, I venture across the ocean to Regency England writing about Lord Julian
Casvelyn, who has long lived with the guilt brought on by the death of his
brother, a brother killed by George Hythe, England’s most notorious spy. For
years, Alyce Hythe, daughter of the infamous traitor, has been hidden away from
the prying eyes of London Society, given a new identity and told to forget who
she was. Thrown together by fate, the two search for answers long denied them
and along the way discover a love that can free them both.
Romance…suspense…with a touch of
paranormal. Irresistible to any
romance lover!
Shunned from
London society for being the daughter of England’s most notorious spy, Alyce
Hythe desires only to clear her father’s name. But strange things have been
happening causing old rumors to be whispered of mystic ghosts and demons. Only
one thing is certain for Alyce...someone wants her dead.
For years Lord
Julian Casvelyn has mourned for his dead brother, murdered in cold blood by
England’s most infamous traitor. But one eventful night has changed everything
Lord Julian believed about his brother’s death. Never did he suspect the woman
he has just saved from certain harm is the daughter of that man. Now Julian is
caught in midst of a conspiracy and desire for a woman...learning unearthing
secrets has a price.
