READER'S GUIDE
Welcome to the extended universe of the Travers and Sinclair families! What started as a single novel has inspired a fair few love stories. While each of my books can be enjoyed as a standalone, they do feature interconnected characters, so I wanted to provide a general guideline to my suggested reading order.My debut novel, Forever Your Rogue features Cora Dane and Nate Travers and takes place in 1819. I recommend starting with FYR, because it's the foundation of everything that follows, and where you meet the characters as I met them!For a peek back in time at the (chaotic) day when Nate's older brother Raymond met his wife Rosalie, you can read A Day Until Forever, an autumnal novella that takes place twenty years before the events of Forever Your Rogue.Some Winter's Evening is the swoony story of Cora's brother Gavin Sinclair and his sweetheart, Emilia Davis. This holiday novella takes place two years after the events of Forever Your Rogue.My latest release, The Finest Print moves into the early Victorian period. It's 1848, and the Travers and Sinclair families are all grown up! This is the story of Gavin and Emilia's daughter, Belle Sinclair, who falls head over feet for Ethan Fletcher, an American printer.
One sensational love story.
American journalist Ethan Fletcher traversed the globe to claim his late uncle’s Fleet Street print shop, only to find his unexpected inheritance is shackled by ruinous debt. In order to save his business and finally direct his own course, he needs to raise capital, and quickly. Good fortune comes in the form of Belinda Sinclair, the eccentric daughter of a respected London judge—and she just so happens to be a beautiful failure of a novelist.Bruised by scandal, Belle has spent years writing a gruesome courtroom mystery no respectable publisher will touch. Until she meets Ethan—barely respectable, barely a publisher, but with two broad hands that can work a press and an enterprising spirit that breathes new life into her pages. Emboldened by the prospect of seeing her story in print, Belle agrees to Ethan’s daring plan: she will transform her grisly manuscript into a serialized penny dreadful, and he will sell it as a means to settle his accounts.In the close confines of the print shop, Ethan and Belle discover their partnership is conducive to far more than fiction. Unable to deny the strength of their deepening devotion, they recklessly compose a future free of his financial burdens and her social constraints. But when a series of punishing obstacles jeopardizes the story they’ve been writing off the page, they must confront how much they are willing to lose…and what it will take to save everything.

That is, until the bespectacled man of her dreams unexpectedly arrives at her employer’s dinner table.As Christmas approaches, Gavin and Emilia find themselves spending the season under one chaotic roof. Between decking the halls and staving off the chill, they can no longer deny the ardor growing between them.
