Surprise! Moonlight Square Prequel Novella

9/21/2015

Hi Everyone!

At the end of July, I unveiled my new Regency series, Moonlight Square. It's a fun, sexy, community-based series that centers around a fabulously elegant London garden square (like Berkeley Square, Grosvenor Square, Hanover Square, etc.) and the wealthy aristocrats who live there ~ including a higher-than-average population of bachelor dukes! ;)

As most of you probably know, DUKE OF SCANDAL (Moonlight Square, Book 1) goes on sale on Tuesday, October 13th. It will be available in both e-book and paperback formats. BUT - what I haven't told you is that I decided to write a Moonlight Square prequel novella, and guess what, it's available NOW! Your first peek into this exciting new world...

ONE MOONLIT NIGHT (Moonlight Square: A Prequel Novella) is 38,000 words, and was so much fun to write! The characters ended up being really lovable--which is good, since Moonlight Square IS a character-driven series. The prequel IS available in paperback, but you're probably going to have to order it online.

This story has a good dash of humor and the lighter, very romantic feel that goes perfectly with the tone I want to bring to the Moonlight Square series. Fingers crossed, I think you are really going to enjoy the story of Lady Katrina and Gable, Viscount Roland, or "Lord Sweet Cheeks" as Trinny likes to call him, ha ha. So without further ado, I'm thrilled to present...

One Moonlit Night

Romance is in the air at Moonlight Square ~ Regency London's most exclusive address!

At the ripe old age of two-and-twenty, Lady Katrina Glendon just can't seem to snare a husband. Whether her frank tongue or slightly eccentric ways bear the blame, she faces a houseful of younger sisters clamoring for her, the eldest, to marry and move aside before they all end up as spinsters. When her latest suitor defects and proposes to another girl, Trinny throws up her hands in despair of ever finding a fiancé. But sometimes destiny waits just around the corner...and love lives right across the square!

Gable Winston-McCray, the charming, understated Viscount Roland saunters through life as a wealthy, sophisticated rakehell and man-about-town. Heir to an earldom, the handsome hedonist would rather dally with bored Society wives than acquire a bride of his own, much to his father's dismay. Until, one moonlit night, fate strikes! Unsuspecting neighbors meet and become flirtatious allies. So when Gable receives his father's ultimatum to wed or go penniless, he offers Trinny a marriage of convenience. Alas, the pretty redhead cannot possibly accept such an unfeeling proposal-even if her dear "Lord Sweet Cheeks" might be the man of her dreams...

And don't forget...

On Sale Tuesday, October 13!

Duke of Scandal
(Moonlight Square, Book 1)

Jason Hawthorne, the Duke of Netherford, made it clear to the young, lovesick Felicity Carvel long ago that nothing could ever happen between them. He has earned his reputation as the Duke of Scandal-and she's his best friend's little sister. For honor's sake, he vows to stay away from the lovely innocent. But six years of the wealthy libertine's life have left Jason empty and jaded, while Felicity has blossomed into a strong, beautiful woman, ripe for love and marriage.

When a sudden windfall makes her one of the most sought-after heiresses in London, chased all over Town by fortune-hunters, Jason knows he must keep the rogues at bay until her brother returns from his dangerous mission abroad. Unfortunately, the scandalous attraction between them has only grown to a searing intensity. Deep down, Felicity still wants Jason for her own. But after getting her heart broken once before by Naughty Netherford, does she dare attempt to play with fire again-and this time, can Jason resist?

I think this series sounds like just what I want - romance and charm and humor, not necessarily in that order.
