A Regency Romance. The war is over for the nation but not for the new Duke of Ormond. With death and debt stalking his every waking moment, caught between blackmailers and his brother’s deepest secret, Alexander’s dreams lie in tatters but he never surrendered on the battlefields of the Peninsular and he’s not about to admit defeat now. Even if that means marrying a woman he has never laid eyes on before. With her father’s warnings still fresh in her mind and her imperfections obvious to any who know her, Elizabeth’s options for freedom are diminishing with every trembling step. Available suitors are few and far between. Marriage to a debt ridden, aging fortune hunter will not be easy but with no other alternatives and destitution threatening she cannot escape her fate. Falling in love hadn't been a possibility Alexander ever considered but one glance at his beautiful bride’s tear filled onyx eyes has his blood surging through his veins, his heart pounding in his chest and he can no longer hide his emotions behind a facade of polite indifference. Elizabeth hadn’t expected him to be handsome. She hadn’t expected him to greet her with a sparkling sapphire gaze. She hadn’t expected gentle fingertips on her skin or her heart to break at the tender words on his lips. With Ormond and the family jewels at stake, Alexander’s resolve to defeat his enemies is soon put to the test as rumour, intrigue and scandal threaten his and Elizabeth’s blossoming affections. There is clearly another plan. There had always been another plan. A plan of greed and vengeance devised to ruin Ormond and its descendants for all time. Silence of Scandal is a light-hearted, easy read suitable for age 16 and upwards. (Contains some swearing and sensual love scenes)

Silence Of Scandal (Unrivalled Regency)

Historical

Colin and Jackie from Northern England, were in their early sixties and had just witnessed the demise of two respective parents to care homes, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Determined to squeeze some excitement into the autumn of their years, they embark on an ‘adventure before dementia’. With no experience of sailing whatsoever, they are on a steep learning curve with the ambition of buying their own boat and sailing around their adopted holiday island of Hispaniola, in the Caribbean. Inspiring, informative, funny and heart-warming, this tale will be of interest to all adventurers and travelers, and to all sailors, arm-chair or otherwise; from wannabe dreamers and sailing novices to salty seadogs. The story of their circumnavigation of Hispaniola provides an insight into conditions in Haiti, as well as a detailed and cautionary tale of cruising East and West, along the Southern and Northern coasts of the Dominican Republic. In addition, there are descriptions of their extended stays in Santiago de Cuba and Port Antonio, Jamaica and two very different crossings of both the dreaded Mona Passage and the Windward Passage. Colin’s wry sense of humor captured all of this in his day to day journals. From the trials and tribulations of fixing boats in exotic locations to hair raising encounters on the high seas, the book often reads like a liturgy of disasters and incompetence, and of incidents and accidents that eventually lead them from novices to navigators, and finally, from sailors to seadogs. Colin, a lifelong musician, song-writer and artist, wrote songs inspired by his sailing antics. These lyrics introduce some of the chapters and, along with Colin’s journals, form the basis of the book. Jackie’s narration fills in the gaps and introduces a flow to their story. In part one,’ Novices to Navigators’, Colin and Jackie take you with them on a nightmare journey as they are rescued by a Motor Tanker in the Jamaican Channel. The back-story to each chapter tells of the challenges they faced from being dreamers in the UK, to boat-owners in the Caribbean. Part two, ‘Landlubbers to Liveaboards’, chronicles the sometimes-hilarious uphill struggle to get their boat shipshape and learn to sail her. It features some of the many characters they met in Salinas, Puerto Rico, the delays and disasters they faced, and an eventful ‘shake-down’ sail to the Virgin Islands, forced upon them by the need to avoid overstaying their welcome in US territory. In part three, ‘Sailors to Seadogs’, join Colin and Jackie on their two-year sailing odyssey. Experience the places they visited, the bureaucracy they met and the challenges of ‘fixing boats in exotic locations’. Live through some life-threatening drama on the high seas as well as musician, Colin’s struggle to come to terms with his life-changing hearing loss through the onset of Meniere’s disease which eventually ended their extraordinary adventure.

Dangerous DeceptionsBook 4 in the Unrivalled Regency series.Lavenham has been waiting for its new Earl. Crippling debts and years of neglect have transformed the once genteel mansion into a crumbling ruin. If its heir doesn't come home soon, there will be little but the title for him to claim.Sent to Jamaica as punishment for attempted murder, Lord Edward Ellesworth had a lot to learn about himself and his beyond arrogant attitude. Now, standing on Lavenham's imposing doorstep, where there once stood a plump and pompous prig, five years of almost unendurable misery and overwhelming responsibility have changed him beyond recognition.Simon hadn't meant to love Edward, but taking the flogging meant for himself had secured far more than Simon's everlasting devotion. He only needed to open his mouth and tell the man the truth. A truth he'd kept well hidden under ragged and baggy garments for almost seven years. His only friend on the Jamaican plantation had warned him to trust no one. Now installed in the adjacent bedroom at Lavenham, can Simon entrust the new Earl with his secrets as well as his heart? Have circumstances changed Edward into the Earl he was always meant to become, or could the unconditional love of a mute, orphaned boy, change him even more? Dangerous Deceptions contains sensual love scenes and is an endearing love story suitable for anyone age 16 and upwards. As part of the Unrivalled Regency series, Dangerous Deceptions is a stand-alone story, but the series is best read in order to fully appreciate the depth of the characters and previous situations.
