Are you looking for a wicked rake to steam up your winter’s night? 😉
Look no further! That rascally duke’s heir Harry Wright is coming your way in my novella The Scandalous, Dissolute, No-Good Mr. Wright, releasing December 11 from Avon Impulse. This novella was published earlier this year in Three Weddings and a Murder, a charity anthology. Here’s your chance to snap it up if you missed the anthology, or to send a gift copy to a romance-reading friend who hasn’t tried my books yet. At just $0.99, it’s less expensive than a greeting card! There will also be a print edition, available for order in late December.
I truly loved writing Harry and Eliza’s story, and I’m so glad it will be available to readers widely…and with this gorgeous new cover!
In other news, I am beyond thrilled that A Week to be Wicked was selected for “Best Romance of 2012” lists by both Publisher’s Weekly and Library Journal! In addition, A Week to be Wicked and A Lady by Midnight were nominated for Reviewers Choice awards from RT Booklovers magazine. I’m overwhelmed and honored for the books to be recognized by these three esteemed publications. My congratulations to all the other authors and books recognized. … Read More »

In late September, Team Bodice Rippers had the honor of participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Santa Barbara, CA. Pictured below (L-R) are me, Courtney Milan, and Carey Baldwin, just before we started off on the walk. Our fourth team member, Leigh LaValle, was at home with her newborn baby, but she was with us in spirit!
Thank you so much to everyone who purchased the Three Weddings and a Murder anthology, helping us meet and exceed our goal of raising $10,000 for breast cancer research, prevention, and patient support. We also owe a huge thank you to all our individual donors and to Samhain Publishing, for putting us over the top with a generous team donation.
For anyone who might have missed the limited-time anthology, my novella “The Scandalous, Dissolute, No-Good Mr. Wright” will soon be available again, probably in late November. Stay tuned for more details!
Now I’m on the road again–or in the air, off to England and Scotland for a research trip! My last trip to England was in 2010, when I gathered all the photos, information, and memories that went into creating Spindle Cove. I’m looking forward to creating some new romantic settings soon!
Hope you and yours are having a wonderful October. In the words of Rhys St. Maur…

Thank you so much, readers! Your excitement and support for Kate and Thorne’s story shot them straight onto the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists this week! Sort of like a melon catapulted from a trebuchet. 😉
I am so grateful to everyone who has embraced, enjoyed, and supported the Spindle Cove series. Thank you, thank you.
This is a busy month for me, as Team Bodice Rippers is in the last few weeks of training for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Santa Barbara. Thanks to your donations and Three Weddings and a Murder anthology purchases, we’ve reached our team fundraising goal of $10,000 to fund research and patient support! I’m also finishing up revisions of Any Duchess will Do (coming out in 2013). Then in October, it’s off to England for a research trip. More on that later.
Wishing you all good things in these few remaining weeks of summer. As always, thank you for reading.… Read More »

After years of fending for herself, Kate Taylor found friendship and acceptance in Spindle Cove–but she never stopped yearning for love. The very last place she’d look for it is in the arms of Corporal Thorne. The militia commander is as stone cold as he is ruggedly handsome. But when mysterious strangers come searching for Kate, Thorne steps forward as her fiance. He claims to have only Kate’s safety in mind. So why is there smoldering passion in his kiss?
Long ago, Samuel Thorne devoted his life to guarding Kate’s happiness. He wants what’s best for her, and he knows it’s not marriage to a man like him. To outlast their temporary engagement, he must keep his hands off her tempting body and lock her warm smiles out of his withered heart. It’s the toughest battle of this hardened warrior’s life…and the first he seems destined to lose.… Read More »

It’s finally here! Release day for A Lady by Midnight. At last, Kate and Thorne’s story is making its way out into the world.
Early reviewers have said some wonderful things about the book. Fresh Fiction called it a “must read,” SBTB called it “delicious,” and RT Book Reviews magazine gave it a Top Pick! rating and this lovely recommendation:
“With this third installment, Dare will have every reader wishing to live in Spindle Cove. This is a story so beautifully written, so lovingly crafted and so touching that, like Judith McNaught, Dare reminds readers of the wondrous feeling of falling in love. Readers will feel complete when they come to the deep-sigh and tears-of-joy ending.”
I hope you enjoy the book, too! As always, thanks to all my wonderful readers for visiting Spindle Cove.
