Alexander never minded, but now he’s got Lady Marjorie Dalton, prim and proper and hater of liars, in his sights, and all of a sudden this rakish reputation is not helping his seduction techniques: it’s hindering him.

Lady Marjorie Dalton can hardly believe the scoundrel of Society is attempting to seduce her, and she is asbsolutely, definitely, positively not going to fall for it.

Even when Alexander opens up and is vulnerable about his past.

Even when he reveals he cannot offer marriage yet with no income, but wants to.

Even when they get trapped at an inn during a storm and she asks him to ravish—wait a moment.

Lady Marjorie had never fancied Alexander’s chances, but her walls are crumbling and only a terrible scandal can force them apart.

When it does, will Alexander be brave enough to face Society…or lose his love forever?

Take one of my courses!

I adore teaching. I love breaking down something complicated, teaching it to someone else, and seeing them get it – and then apply it themselves!

I used to teach a lot of workshops, speak at events, and mentor, and I’ve spent some time working out how I can bring those elements into my writing career.

One of the things I really miss about my old day jobs was the amount of teaching that they included.

So I decided to do something about that! After all, I’m an entrepreneur – an authorpreneur if you will. First off, I’ve created two writing courses specifically for authors, based on my skills. You can find them here.

Secondly, I teach courses through the RWF throughout the year, based on my historical and craft specialties. You can always seen what courses are coming up here.

And thirdly, I offer developmental and line editing (separately and together!) for authors who want to up their game. Get in touch to talk with me about this, if this sounds interesting.

Thank you for reading!

HUGE NEWS: I’ve written a book for Penguin!

I cannot believe how long I have been sitting on this news…I have written a steamy contemporary romance for Penguin! It’s a celebrity fake dating romance packed with hilarious joy, found family, and of course, an outrageously hot hero and a heroine who isn’t quite sure what she wants…

What do you get when a celebrity and a fan meet on a dating app?

Meet Jessy and Patrick.

All Jessy wants is to figure out what to do with her life. She hates her job, lives in a crappy London apartment and her love life is non-existent. . .That is until her twin sister begs her to join her newly launched dating app, Butterflies.

Lead singer and front man of These Exiles, Patrick just wants a break after coming off tour. But when he’s mistakenly arrested, his record label insists on doing damage control. Their latest scheme? Getting Patrick on the dating apps and into a relationship.

When Jessy and Patrick match on Butterflies, neither plan to actually meet. . . but then they literally bump into each other and chaos ensues. With their faces plastered all over the internet, and Patrick’s record label jumping on the publicity, the two find themselves unexpectedly ‘dating.’

Can they keep up the farce in front of the whole world, or will they start to believe their own lie?

What’s on my desk?

If you’re anything like me, you love to know what creatives have on their desk! So I thought I would write a short post to give you some insight on what is on my desk right now…

(No photos because…okay, it’s messy. Like, real messy).

SO:

First off, my computer. I have a MacBook Pro which allows me to be a full time author, it offers the speed and cleverness and battery life that I need (can you tell that I’m not a technical person?). That means I also have a few adapters, chargers, and my headphones. I can’t work without music, and I have playlists for every stage of the creative process: from plotting, writing, and editing to strategy, promo, and admin.

Next I have my black and gold lamp, a gorgeous one from IKEA that I just adore. I once read that every room should have something black in it to ground it, and I’ve tried to take that to heart.

Alongside that I have my HP printer! It scans as well as prints which is so important for when I need to sign and scan contracts (hint hint 🥰)

Depending on the book I’m writing, I will always have a few research books on the desk. When I was writing my historical non-fiction book, REGINA, you could barely see my desk, it was so covered in books!

Alongside that I have notebooks and pens, absolutely crucial to jot down any brilliant ideas that might derail my current writing session, but I don’t want to forget.

And last but by no means least, I have all the essentials to (try to!) keep me healthy: a large bottle of water, and some (not so) healthy snacks to help motivate me. Yes, I am basically a toddler, I am very food motivated 😅

So there you go! That’s what is on my desk.

If you’re a creative, let me know what you have on your desk in the comments! If you’re not, let me know what you think of my desk – does anything surprise you? Anything you thought would be there and isn’t?
