| Who Wants a Sexy Rake for Christmas |

|
I won't be having a white Christmas here in New Zealand. It's summer here. I miss the snowy Christmases I had in England. Summer doesn’t have the same festive feeling. You can't snuggle up before a roaring fire, or eat a huge, roast meal on a hot day.
I write sensual Regency romances, with gorgeous rakes and sensual heroines. My soon to be released INVITATION TO SCANDAL is set in Deal, Kent, England, where it did not snow very often. In fact, my heroine, Rheda Kerrich, enjoyed the festive winter months, because the bad weather often made it difficult for the Revenuer’s to catch smugglers. Read the book to find out why that is so important to her…
 In Rheda’s household, there isn’t much money to spend on presents, but she has a younger brother, Baron de Winter, and a very close friend, Meg, who want to see her happy. Both of them are sure the dashing and handsome Viscount Strathmore, who Rheda talks about far too much, should be top of their gift giving list. Here’s why:
1) He’s a Viscount. Yes, Rufus Knight, Viscount Strathmore’s family name is tainted, but then Rheda was embroiled in a scandal of her own.
2) He’s Wealthy. Rheda risks too much in order to help her brother restore their family estate and aid the destitute villager’s of DEAL. She needs money.
3) He’s as Handsome as Sin. What woman doesn’t deserve a handsome man to share her bed? Especially for her first time.
4) He’s a bit Wicked. Rheda needs a man who is not too straight laced. A man you can see areas of grey rather than black and white. Fine, it is illegal to smuggle, but surely it’s morally bankrupt to let people starve…
5) He knows how to Pleasure a Woman. The most important for last. For a twenty-five year old virgin, Rheda is more than ready to experience passion. Why did her body have to awaken just when the annoying, yet gorgeous, Lord Strathmore arrived in Deal. He’s here to capture a smuggler, but Rheda is petrified he’ll capture her heart.
Her secrets are coming undone...
Plagued by scandalous rumors, Rheda Kerrich will stop at nothing to restore her reputation and make an honest living for herself-and she's determined to do it without a husband. But times are hard, and smuggling is a risky though profitable trade. So when a dashing agent for the English government catches her in the act, she desperately resists his charms and conceals her illicit profession. Until she realizes he may be the key to her ultimate freedom-and unbridled passion…
Rufus Knight, Viscount Strathmore, has never had trouble beguiling the ladies of Kent. When his search for "Dark Shadow," a cunningly elusive smuggler, leads him to alluring and headstrong Rhe, her objections to his amorous advances merely incite a tantalizing game of cat and mouse. Soon, they'll find the very secrets driving them apart could ensnare them in a love they can't escape…
INVITATION TO SCANDAL is released April 2012. Pre-order at Amazon and B&N and Book Depository
