The Trouble with Being Wicked

The first novel in my new Naughty Girls Trilogy

Notorious London courtesan Celeste Gray longs to be part of a family. When her best friend announces she is carrying a paramour’s child in the hopes he will commit to her, Celeste is fearful another baby will become a pawn between lovers, as she herself was. Celeste whisks her friend away to Devon, where they establish themselves as an officer’s wife and her companion. Yet masquerading as “Miss Smythe, unassuming spinster” proves to be harder than Celeste ever dreamed, for when she meets her handsome-if-stuffy new neighbor, it becomes painfully clear just how much her circumstance of birth has cost her.

Principled Ashlin Lancester, Lord Trestin, has always intended to marry a shining example of propriety his hoyden sisters can model: a staid, polished paragon who can overcome the haze of scandal lingering over their family. He is dismayed to be entranced by his alluring new neighbor, a frustrating mix of secrets and sensuality. Caught between protecting his wayward sisters and fighting his feverish attraction to the mysterious temptress next door, he must decide whether having “Miss Smythe” is worth ruining his beloved family a second time.

The Problem with Seduction

The second novel in my new Naughty Girls Trilogy

Impetuous courtesan Elizabeth Spencer will do anything to keep custody of her four month old son. Her ex-lover, the child’s father, will stop at nothing to take her baby away. The law is on his side when he rips her infant from her arms. Desperate to have her baby back, she propositions a devil-may-care, insolvent young lord: if he successfully convinces her ex-protector that they conducted a clandestine affair resulting in her pregnancy, she will pay him ten thousand pounds upon the return of her son.

Lord Constantine Alexander can’t afford another trip to debtor’s prison. His older brothers have threatened to let him rot there next time. When a beautiful courtesan offers him enough money to satisfy his creditors and contribute toward his family’s impoverished finances, he thinks Dame Fortune has finally smiled on him. Until his brothers learn he’s fathered a bastard and demand Con take responsibility for his actions—for once. Trapped between telling his brothers how he acquired his money and pretending to be the father of the child, Con takes his chances with the baby. But independent Elizabeth has been hurt too many times to trust anyone with her fragile family, let alone a fickle rake, and the two enter a battle of wills in which they both must place their deepest fears on the line. When Con realizes the enormity of the responsibility he’s undertaken and questions his ability to be depended upon, Elizabeth must choose between trusting Con or saving her baby—and her heart.
