Welcome to my secret garden. I invite you to sit down with a cup of tea and explore a bit.
A boy, a girl, and a slingshot…
Sometimes, a destiny written in the stars does not begin as a match made in heaven.
Lord Alexander Cranston, the Marquess of Ashton, and Lady Isobelle Harrington gave new meaning to childhood sweethearts. In fact, there was little love lost between them. The constant bickering escalated, until it finally exploded into an episode involving a slingshot. Their families had no other choice, except to separate them.
Belle suffered deep wounds inflicted by a series of tragedies, which began in early childhood. She entered adulthood while burdened by a precious, yet thoroughly exhausting, family obligation. Never one to meekly accept fate’s decree, she resisted the surrender of her hard-won freedom, once she finally obtained it.
Alex fell in love with Isobelle’s free spirit shortly after they met as children, but his father discouraged active participation in her wild adventures. Since Alex knew rebellion was out of the question, he tried to clip Belle’s wings instead. His efforts yielded disastrous results.
He succeeded his father and became the Fifth Duke of Wilmington during the intervening years. After the passage of Alex’s thirtieth birthday, he found himself growing increasingly impatient to claim his soulmate. Thankfully, a great deal changed with the passage of time. A special weapon, granted only by maturity, gave him hope. Alas, there was a small problem. He could not use it; unless he successfully lured Belle into his embrace.

Welcome to the internet home of a former crazy bunny lady. My rabbits played a big role in my return to novel writing in 2019, and served as very special companions, beginning with Mr. Harry Buns, the namesake of my production company. Alas, none of them are with me any longer, but they are still featured on the "About Me" page, if you're interested in learning more about them. Do you want to become even better acquainted with me? This is a multipage site which can be navigated from the menu at the top of this page. Now that you're here, I invite you to stay and visit for a while.
