The Willoughby Family Series, Book 1 Coming Soon from Wild Rose Press

Michael Ashton, the Duke of Ravensdale, is caught in two scandals, neither of which is his own doing. The first involves a woman (don’t they always), and the second…well, it also involves a woman and a large sum of stolen money. In order to save the reputation Michael has spent his life rebuilding, he must track down the widow of his presumed-dead cousin in order to charm...or seduce her missing husband's whereabouts from her.

After being abandoned a mere hour after her wedding, Blythe Willoughby Ashton wonders how she could have been fooled by such a cad and still feels humiliated and betrayed a year later. Her husband wooed her, married her, took her money and left. When she learns of his death, she decides unceremoniously to go on with her life—without a man. So when Thomas’s cousin—a Duke, no less—shows up uninvited on her doorstep, looking more handsome and irresistible than any man should, Blythe instinctively doesn’t trust him nor does she want to like him. But her traitorous heart doesn’t seem to care. At the same time, Michael’s clear agenda gets quite blurry when the woman he believes an accomplice to his cousin's schemes turns out to be the woman he can give his heart to…and the only one he can’t have.

Book 2 in the Willoughby Family series (Regency-set historical romance)

Miss Ariadne Whitney has one month to find a stolen artifact to trade for her father's life. However, her only clues to the thief are that he's called "Lord" and that he owns a London home. Aria makes a splash in the beau monde, a world she has no desire to be a part of, determined to seek out the thief--no matter the cost. However, her tendenacy to leap before she thinks gets her in trouble more often than she can afford, and she narrowly escapes unwanted amorous attentions, a chance encounter with the Bow Street Runners and near-death by a runaway carriage. Her luck, however, runs out the night she breaks into the wrong house...

Adam Willoughby, the Earl of Merewood has one goal: to see his remaining sisters happily married without getting shot. Haunted by mistakes that almost killed one of his sisters, Adam is determined the other three will have his complete attention all the way until their wedding days. That means no wife of his own, no mistress, no distractions. The last thing he needs is the irresistable Ariadne stirring up trouble wherever she goes...and where he always happens to be. However, when he catches her breaking into his house, Adam's goals go out the window when a more alluring idea arises, and he gives her an ultimatum: Tell the truth or go to bed with him.
