The Seduction of Mr Alfred Saintsbury ✨

Like many, I officially return to work post-holiday break today and, as usual, I’m NOT thrilled about it. Alas the holidays must end but it’s always sad when it happens. If you’re going back to work today, may your re-entry be as painless as possible—and allow you to return to the warm embrace

The S*xually Frustrated Historical Romance Hero

Sometimes, you write a book and are very aware that it belongs to a particular, ahem, lineage. That is definitely the case for my newest book, THE SEDUCTION OF MR. ALFRED SAINTSBURY (which is now on KU!!). I knew when writing Alfred that he was joining these other self-denying, sexually frustrated

My Romance Inspired by Lady Catherine x Mr Collins

I keep saying that my newest book, THE SEDUCTION OF MR ALFRED SAINTSBURY, has Lady Catherine x Mr. Collins vibes…and so I thought I would explain a bit what I mean by that 😂😂. To be clear, this book is NOT Jane Austen fanfic (okay, it is not Jane Austen fanfic anymore than your usual historical rom

The Baby-logue in Historical Romance

Today l am tackling a controversial subject here in Romancelandia (I think, at least??): the baby-logue. While many readers understandably don’t like epilogues with babies/children for a myriad of legitimate reasons, they are also ubiquitous in the genre. And I must confess that I myself love a bab

I just got my special edition of Emily Rath’s BEAUTIFUL THINGS and had to show it off 💅🏼. I’ve never bought a special edition of anything before and I love that Kensington is giving the special edition treatment to a historical. Check out the gorgeous cover, the sprayed edges, and the stepbacks.

I Bought You A House: Real Estate as Love Language

✨Finally, some historical images that ~won’t~ get me in trouble with the IG censors. ✨ Luckily, these images aren’t any less steamy, because beautiful real estate is sexy, especially when it’s a gift from a hot duke or earl. Yes, THREE of my books have this trope, which was not at all intentiona
