My latest Regency romance – this one with a dash of adventure – is out now. The Duke’s Counterfeit Wife is the story of Sarah Parrish who takes ship from London to a new post as a lady’s companion in East Anglia and finds herself at risk of her life from the murderous crew.

By the time they are safely on land Sarah has lost her new job and is as determined as Mr Smith – or Nicholas Terrell, Duke of Severton, to more accurate – to track down their attackers. Their forced alliance leads to friendship and then something more. But what future is there for the daughter of a bankrupted ship owner and a duke?
