It was love at first sight. Almost... A scandalous past... Viscount Gerald Lawrence never imagined that one reckless kiss with a notorious temptress, the hostess of the Season's most prominent ball, would ignite a scandal. Caught in the act by his outraged parents and, worse yet, his innocent and unsuspecting fiancée, Lady Selena Bowles, Gerald paid the ultimate price. Banished to his family's crumbling estate, he vowed to leave his reckless ways behind. Now, four years later, Gerald is a man transformed-his estate thriving, his reputation restored, and a successful horse-racing venture under his care. But on a stormy night, the past returns with a vengeance when a half-frozen, injured Selena appears on his doorstep. A dangerous present... On the run after her mother is poisoned by a ruthless relative, Selena has no one else to turn to but the very man she never thought she'd face again. Traumatized and suffering from memory loss after a fall, she has no recollection of Gerald's past betrayal-only the growing bond between them. As Gerald becomes her unlikely protector, Selena finds herself falling for him all over again. But shadows of the past loom large, and a dangerous foe will stop at nothing to see Selena destroyed. A love worth fighting for... As danger closes in, Gerald and Selena must confront old wounds, untangle a web of deception, and battle a powerful adversary. Can they overcome the sins of the past to claim a future filled with trust, redemption, and a love that defies all odds?

Autorenporträt
Who knew I'd become an author? Not me. But when the opportunity knocked, I answered the door and welcomed it in. I approach life with as much positivity as I can-celebrating the hits and laughing at the misses. Nothing worthwhile is easy, and that includes everything in my life. But I have much to smile about-my lovely mother, a beautiful daughter, two precious granddaughters, my adorable dogs, and my sweet husband of over thirty years. He has always supported me-including uprooting to move to the other side of Charlotte, N.C. for a life change, just when we thought we were settled. If settled means not going after my dreams, then I never want to be settled. I give my all to things I enjoy-and that includes writing. In 2021, I hit the USA Today Bestselling Author list, and recently, two of my books were named RONE Finalists! I love to express myself to the point that my daughter avoids going to the movies with me because I'm that woman in the row in front of you who gleefully munches her popcorn and laughs at every hilarious scene. Loudly. Besides my family, I love chocolate, popcorn, laughter, and animals. I love animals so much that I frequently sprinkle them in my stories as secondary characters. They usually steal the show! British and American history have always interested me, so writing historical romances set in the U.K. and the US is where my passion is. When I was barely three years old, my parents divorced, and my mom moved my sister and me from New York to South Carolina to live near her parents. Juggling a full-time job and full-time school, my mother became my first genuine hero-she never waved the white flag when things were tough. And things quickly got tough. My grandmother, who helped care for my sister and me while my mother worked, became ill with cancer, and didn't survive the surgery, dying before I was seven. Losing Grandma devastated me. She read to me and taught me to read before I started first grade. I credit her for inspiring my love of reading, and I credit my mother for encouraging me to turn my ideas into stories.When I was ten, my neighbor gave me her book club copy of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind and it remains one of my favorite books. But it was Kathleen Woodiwiss' Shanna and Ashes in the Wind, that hooked me on historical romance and sparked my dream of becoming a published author.While I primarily write Regency Romance, I enjoy almost any period in American and British history.
