READER'S GUIDE
Welcome to the extended universe of the Travers-Sinclair families! What started as a single novel has inspired a fair few love stories. While each of my books can be read as a standalone, they do feature interconnected characters, so I wanted to provide a general guideline to reading order.My debut novel, Forever Your Rogue features Cora Dane and Nathaniel 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 into the (chaotic) day when Nate's older brother Raymond met his wife Rosalie, you can read A Day Until Forever, which takes place twenty years before the events of Forever Your Rogue. There is also a sequel novella, Some Winter's Evening, where you can find 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 newest novel, 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.

Two perfect strangers…
and the enchanted evening they can’t put behind them.
Overworked barrister Gavin Sinclair’s only plans for Christmastide are to withdraw to his sister Cora’s estate and lament that his long-awaited promotion comes at a price he isn’t certain he can pay. But when a snow squall strands him at a country inn alongside a dimpled maiden, his night takes an unexpected turn. Captivated, Gavin tries to forget his obligations for a single evening of holiday cheer. Unfortunately, his responsibilities leave little room for such magic.Emilia Davis is a governess with no family or home to call her own, and the tenuous nature of her employment has once again pushed her to the margins and out the door. Ever an optimist, Emilia is used to making the best of her disappointments. So when a sweetly reserved stranger leaves her standing in the cold, she determines to forget him and focus on her new position working for the boisterous Travers family. 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. But when their tender romance is threatened by the most divisive trial of Gavin’s career, the looming pressures of the real world might be more than they can stand. Gavin and Emilia never thought they would find each other once, let alone twice. And if they want to hold fast this time, they’ll need to finally put their hearts before their heads.
