My very first publishing contract was with Kensington publishing for two books in 2010, my Romantic Times Book Review Best First Historical nominated INVITATION TO RUIN and my mum’s favourite book of mine INVITATION TO SCANDAL.
Borders went belly up and closed its door three weeks after Invitation to Ruin was released (great timing for my debut novel—not) and the book market was in a mess. In addition, I don’t think my books were given a very Regency feel cover—something needed for a debut Regency author I suspect…..
Both books received a 4.5 star rating from RT Book Reviews and as I said Invitation to Ruin was nominated for best first historical. So I think they are wonderful books.
But these eBooks have been priced rather high the past few years – $9.99 US and then $6 US
Imagine my surprise when I saw the price for both of these eBooks has been lowered to $3.99 US on all platforms.
So if you have never read the series that started it all for me, now’s your chance to read my first series. All books in the series are now priced at $3.99 for the first time ever.

After all, she is so naive he won’t have to worry about ever being tempted. Or so he thinks, until the vows are spoken and they are left alone–and his new bride reveals a streak just as brazen and unrestrained as his own…
