A boy, a girl, and a slingshot…
Sometimes, a destiny written in the stars does not become a match made in heaven. Lord Alexander Cranston, the Marquess of Ashton, and Lady Isobelle Harrington gave new meaning
to childhood sweethearts. Alas, 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 the combatants.
The path to adulthood is rarely smooth, even when one seems to possess every advantage. Isobelle learned early that wealth and power can not prevent tragedy, and often provides a catalyst. Reaching adulthood with her fiercely independent nature intact was nothing short of a miracle. Naturally, she refused to surrender it easily.
Meanwhile, the boy who secretly loved her, eventually succeeded his father as the Fifth Duke of Wilmington. He recently entered his third decade and found himself growing impatient to claim his soulmate. Maturity yielded perspectives and a secret weapon he lacked in his youth. But their effective use required luring Isobelle into back into his physical proximity.
What could be worse than meeting your soul-mate during an identity crisis?
Miss Persephone Dortmund’s short life suddenly veered in an unexpected direction, due to the actions of a disagreeable neighbor. In an effort to escape him, she became the nurse and companion of her distant cousin, Lady Isobelle Harrington. Her new identity, as hired help, did not begin smoothly. Then she discovered fate was a terrible match maker. Lady Isobelle’s cousin did not seem like a bad man. He simply was not what she envisioned for herself, precisely because there was nothing simple about him.
A luminous deity could not remain concealed indefinitely. Viscount Edward Harrington felt as if his soul had been electrified by desire. Unfortunately, the timing was not ideal. He lacked the freedom to court his one true love, while clandestinely serving king and country in the midst of a war. Until another family tragedy brought him home for good. One would think having your future lover under the same roof provided a distinct advantage. Except Edward found himself constrained by the distasteful actions of the man who forced his beloved into hiding.
Just as the heroines of Fate’s Champions believe, time spent with friends is always special, but it’s even better when food is included. This is my version of tea and gossip. This collection currently contains 15 recipes, complete with a story and color photos for each.

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.
