With too many secrets in her past, and too little future as an actress, Theodosia Newell wants one thing more than all else—security. She’s seen her mother abandoned, her younger brother die, and she’s vowed never to be poor. But then her path crosses that of a man who tempts her to abandon caution and all thought for the future for a passionate affair. Can she find the courage to break from her deepest fears? And will her love prove enough to save them both?
Born with a soul for adventure, David Llewellyn cannot resist a challenge—and his enthusiasm for life is as magnetic as his personality. But two women share his life, and only one can be his. Will his stubborn refusal to make a choice between them lead him to lose everything? Or will he find, in the journey to the lost city he dreams of discovering, a path to a deeper love than he thought possible?
For ten years, the affair between David and Thea goes from passion to love. Lives are changed. Secrets come out. Marriages end. And new ones begin. Through it all, the desire of two strong-willed people lead them to clash, and to eventually find their own path–to each other and to facing the need and love they share. From London to Italy to Syria, the Paths of Desire lead them on a journey they must make together.

It’s difficult to tell anyone what they should read, or shouldn’t. But reading anything works for me — I like graphic novels and comic books, too, and I’ll read a ceral box if that’s all that’s around. Reading is reading.

can you provide a reading order for your Regency books?

I think that Theo and Terrance’s dad should have his own proper book. Where he is looking for his wife. He is tried of being alone and seeing Theo and Terrance happy and decideds he wants his wife back. I would love to see what he would do to get her back and her not trusting his temper. Great reading all your books. Thank you

I’m not sure Squire Winslow is ready to get back together with his wife–or that they would suit. But I’ll take it up with him.

I found your books on my Kindle and have become addicted! First, thank you and second how can I find the story of Diana and her French captain (from Lady Scandal)?
Oct 06, 2011 @ 14:34:06
Diana’s story hasn’t been written yet, but will be.
Sep 24, 2011 @ 01:22:46
Is there a sequel to Lady Scandal? There is a teaser at the end of the book about Diana and Taliaris, but I couldn’t find anything online.
Oct 06, 2011 @ 14:32:59
There will be a sequel with Diana’s story — it’s a story I’m working on now.
Oct 08, 2011 @ 18:12:14
Thanks so much for responding and I’ll keep my eyes open for Diana’s story. Tell her not to take too long.
Dec 02, 2011 @ 22:50:51
I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely LOVE your books! Once I start to read one of your stories, I can’t put it down! I cannot wait to read Diana’s story!

Is there a reason the books are more expensive at Smashwords than BN and Amazon? In some cases, the difference is as high as $2.
Jan 07, 2012 @ 22:57:52
The difference in price has to do with the number sold at that outlet — lower prices at Amazon comes from Amazon selling a larger number of books. That lets me drop the price there.
