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. Saved by the intervention of a fellow passenger, who turns out not to be “Mr Smith”, the modest gentleman he pretends, Sarah must behave as though she is the wife of a duke.

Acting is one thing, but sharing a cabin with an imperious and attractive man is quite another. 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?

She has convinced herself that she can be content – until Max Fenton, the Earl of Burnham demands her assistance in rescuing his wayward sister from the consequences of her impulsive actions.
