I'm overjoyed to announce the back-to-back releases of my newest trilogy, "The Heiress Brides!" Desperately Seeking a Duke (March 1st), The Duke Next Door (April 1st) and Duke Most Wanted (May 1st).

These three books tell the stories of three young ladies, cousins in competition to win the Pickering fortune by being the first in their merchant-class family to marry a duke! The three beauties Phoebe, Deirdre and Sophie meet up with wolves and wicked stepmothers and princes (or rather, dukes!) aplenty as they brave the wicked wilds of Society to win the prize. With the original Grimm's fairy tales as my inspiration--not the Disney version!--I've had a lot of fun writing these steamy, hilarious new takes on old tales.

More exciting news! In April I'll be doing a warehouse signing for my distributor--which means that if you hunt for them, you might be able to find signed copies already in your stores! More updates will be coming on where you might find those copies.

Also, look for special editions of my books The Pretender, The Impostor, To Wed a Scandalous Spy and One Night With a Spy that have been re-released at a special promotional price of $4.99--and that contain an exclusive excerpt from Desperately Seeking a Duke!

I'll be showing up all around Northern California in the next few months, so if you're in the area, be sure to check my appearances page for upcoming book signings and speaking engagements.

Don't forget to go to my contest page and enter to win the three Regency-era inspired pearl necklaces I'll be giving away to mark the three release dates! Enter now to win the drawing for March or April or May--your one entry is good for all three drawings!

Headstrong but unhappy Society beauty Miss Deirdre Cantor was ruthlessly raised to win this competition, but in her heart she has secretly longed for only one man--the brooding and difficult Marquis of Brookhaven. She proposes a match to Calder Marbrook, one that makes perfect sense on paper--if one doesn't know that he has a secret that will make Deirdre wish she'd never given her heart to the Beast of Brookhaven! Wills clash and heart fires are ignited in this marriage-of-convenience that turns out not to be so convenient after all!

Plain and ignored despite her intelligence, Miss Sophie Blake watches her cousins succeed in love but knows such a life isn't for girls like her. Still, she has a secret--a burning infatuation with the one man who notices her, her friend Lord Graham Cavendish. This harmless friendship is put in danger when Graham abruptly becomes the Duke of Edencourt and must immediately find a rich wife to save his crumbling estate. Sophie realizes that time is running out--she must climb out of the ashes of obscurity and transform herself into a princess to keep Graham from marrying someone else!
