Not your typical Southern belle...
Lucy Richardson's bandit sisters may have taught her to sling a gun and pick a stubborn lock, but nothing prepared her for the agony of her first heartbreak. Her sisters taught her to fight like hell for what she wants... and she wants Finn.
Not your proper Southern gentleman...
Finn Taggart is bad news. His dark and tortured past always catches up to him, and Lucy deserves better than to be tainted by his touch. He couldn't have her years ago, and he can't have her now, no matter how enticing she is. If only he can convince her of that before the danger that follows him brings them both down.
Not your classic love story...
Danger doesn't exactly scare a girl like Lucy, and she knows how to use all kinds of weapons... including her feminine wiles. Finn doesn't stand a chance. And if they need backup... the Blood Blade Sisters are never far away...
AMAZON
Historical romances were my first
literary love. I write other genres, and I very much enjoy doing so. But there
will always be a special place in my heart for historicals.
I began reading at a very young
age. The first novels I remember reading on my own were the Little House on the
Prairie books. But the first romances I ever read were Victoria Holt’s gothic
romances. I still love reading these
books. I love getting swept into the distant past, into beautiful, mysterious
settings, and most of all, into the romance of it all. Ms. Holt’s books are
full of suspense and mystery, with heroes that are always dashing and handsome
and very often a little (or a lot) dangerous. There is nothing I love more than
getting swept into an intense love story that is surrounded by mystery and
danger. A story that gets my heart pumping both because of the amazing romance
between the heroine and her hero, and because of the dangerous, suspenseful, or
mysterious situations in which they often find themselves. It’s what I love to
read. So when I write, these are the types of stories I try to create.
History has always been a passion
of mine; I even got my undergrad degree in history. So when I began writing my
own novels, it wasn’t really a conscious choice for me. I just sat down and
started writing a historical. I love being able to spend my creative time
floating in a bubble of poofy dresses, sprawling manors, nobility and royalty,
and spectacular balls. Where manly men strut with their bulging biceps and a
gutsy, intelligent, independent heroine sticks out like a sore thumb among her
gentle, refined peers. It’s fun to put a little modern sass into a historical
character and watch what happens :)
While I will continue to write, and
enjoy, other genres, historical romance is always going to be my first and
truest love.
