My
Lord Protector (Book 2)
On the most horrifying
night of her life, Charlotte Robinson discovers the murdered body of the
mysterious woman who's engaged her as a companion at a remote Cornish
manor house. Then, in her bedchamber, Charlotte finds the hidden note
from the dead woman that tells her to flee, to change her name, to not
trust anyone or she, too, will be killed. Along with the note is her
employer's journal. She speedily packs a valise, the money she's saved,
and the dead woman's journal and sets off in the dark of night. She
eventually arrives in London using the name Caroline Rutherford and
manages to secure a position as a companion to the youngest sister of
the Earl of Devere.
London's most sought-after bachelor, Devere has never met the woman with
whom he wants to be shackled, but for reasons he cannot understand, he
becomes obsessed with his sister's companion, the quiet Caroline
Rutherford,
a woman of mystery. So many things about her don't add up, but nothing
he says or does will loosen her tongue-not even his stolen kisses which
he knows she enjoys as much as he.
When she narrowly escapes a murderous plot, the terrified woman
confesses all to him, and together they set out to learn the identity of
the murderer of her former employer . . . if only they can stay alive.

With a Little Help From My Lord (Book 3)
An innocent trip to the book store propels Lady
Harriett Beresford into danger when a stranger tells her there's a plot
against the regent, and she must warn the Fat Man. The stranger then
collapses on her doorstep. Dead. She rushes to find aid, and when she
returns, the dead man is gone. No one believes her.
Her brother, who's gone on his wedding trip, has persuaded his closest
friend, Alex Muir, Baron of Rockingham, to watch out for his
sister while he's away. Alex, who has known Lady Harriett all her life,
refers to her as Bitsy. When Bitsy turns to him for help, he's
skeptical. The exuberant young lady has always had a flair for the
dramatic. But when someone attempts to kill her, his protective
instincts kick in.
Together they set off to find the Fat Man, save the regent, and perhaps
just fall in love along the perilous journey.
