I
would like nothing more than to time travel back to the Regency (and time travel back to my twenties as long as we’re going somewhere) to take my chances at a ball. Who would take the first? Who would escort me into supper? What sort of meaningful looks would be exchanged? I would hope, having made the trip, to encounter a gentleman who would give me a very hard time. He ought to be vexatious in the extreme, and worth every vexation, to make the journey worthwhile. I most likely won’t be able to work out the time travel gambit, so I will content myself with writing stories of adventure and romance in my beloved time period. There are lives to be created, marvelous gowns to wear, jewels to don, instant attractions that inevitably come with a difficulty, and hearts to break before putting them back together again. In traditional Regency fashion, my stories are clean—the action happens in a drawing room, rather than a bedroom. As I muse over what will happen next to my H and h, and wish I were there with them, I will occasionally remind myself that it’s also nice to have a microwave, Netflix, cheese popcorn, and steaming hot showers.

Thank you so much for asking me to stop by! This is the third book of the series, The Dukes’ Pact. Six older dukes are fed up with their eldest sons not getting around to marrying and producing heirs, so they put them under extreme financial pressure to force them into it. The bachelor lords, naturally, resist. They will all be defeated, one by one, by my fearless heroines. This is book three and Lord Ashbridge is a renowned, and arrogant, gambler. Lily Farnsworth has paid for her season via a particular skill at piquet. When these two card players collide, they despise one another. Until they stumble on a dangerous plot and are forced to work together. I had such fun with these two. Ashbridge presents a cool exterior, but the fact is, he’d watched in horror when his inheritance came very close to ruin and takes his responsibility to keep his family afloat very seriously. Lily grew up fighting off creditors and has developed nerves of steel on account of it. Both of them are prickly, and so very well suited to one another. Uncaged: What are you working on next that you can tell us about? I’ve just completed book four of the series—The Baron’s Dangerous Contract. Lord Cabot and Miss Penny Darlington seemed once very well matched. However, they’ve had a very public falling out. She does not wish to see him, but there’s no avoiding him. Her father has invited Lord Cabot to stay at their house in Newmarket for the races. Newmarket is not what it seems and there
