Book description

Sometimes giving in to temptation is the best thing you can do... Goodman Thomas Marlowe needs a wife. He loves his neighbour's bondswoman Rosalind Abramson but for all the wrong reasons. The carnal passion he feels for her is at odds with his vision of the perfect marriage-something shaped by the memory of the pure, pious union he shared with his late wife. Valiantly, he fights to keep his feelings hidden. Rosalind yearns for the handsome Goodman Marlowe. Yet beneath his kind action lies a cool distance that tells her he cannot forgive Rosalind's shameful past. She's determined to deny an infatuation with a man who will never respect her. However, Thomas cannot focus on finding a bride while the unsuitable Rosalind is always so close and so alluring. Now he's about to take a teaching position in another town. It's the perfect escape for a man tormented by unacceptable desire. Late one night, in the midst of a summer's hot spell, Thomas spies Rosalind in the woods, clad only in her shift, dancing in the moonlight. It's really more than a man celibate for three years can bear. Thomas is in danger of falling into a sin so powerful, it threatens to challenge everything he believes in... Emotional. Evocative. Erotic. Historical Romance from the Georgian and Regency Eras, set in both England and America. Whether they are bold or shy, my heroines' strong desires and deep emotions drive the plot-and drive their heroes to the point of no return. I have always been a daydreamer who told myself stories of love and romance set in other times and places for my own pleasure. Eventually my story worlds became so real, they demanded to be brought out of my imagination and onto the page. It gives me great joy to finally share them with you. I hope you enjoy my story world. I've been married for twenty-one years to my own hero and we share our life with a very quirky calico cat. I have a BA in History and I love to read, both romance and scholarly history and I listen to a variety of music from classical to reggae. But mostly I am hard at work researching and writing my next story.
