A Few Finishing Touches

“It’s like Steed and Mrs Peel meets Murder She Wrote!”

A dead husband. A secretive stranger. And a nosy widow with a knack for murder.

When Laura Carlyle left behind high society for committee meetings and quiet cups of tea, she never imagined her next guest would bring gossip, grief — and a murder.

Rebecca Farrell is certain her husband didn’t just drop dead. And Laura’s late husband, an ex-civil servant with far too many secrets, taught her exactly how to spot a lie.

Luckily (or not), help arrives in the form of Sebastian Silver — silver-haired, sharp-suited, and possibly a conman. He knows things about Harry Farrell that no one else does. The question is: can he be trusted?

From cosy drawing rooms to candlelit crypts, Laura’s genteel corner of Kensington hides more than just scandal — it hides a mysterious cabal of killers. And if Laura keeps poking around, she might be the next victim…

I signed his contract. Now he owns me.
One dance with the most dangerous alien in the room. One morning where he destroys my career without even knowing my name.

Now I’m his nanny. His employee. His.

And the worst part? I’d sign that contract all over again.

Nanny for the Alien Lord is a full-length, standalone alien sci-fi romance. It features a possessive, alpha alien in intense, steamy scenes with his human mate. There are no cliff-hangers or cheating, and a happily ever after is guaranteed!

When I travel to the small town of Sunset Ridge for the reading of my great aunt’s will, I have no idea that my sisters and I are about to inherit a lodge. Or that my rugged Alaskan neighbor is the caretaker I’ll be spending all my time with.

Falling for Ford Harris would be unwise. I’m supposed to get the lodge listed for sale and leave. Not to mention that he hasn’t dated anyone since his wife died four years ago. The little sister he’s super protective over let it slip that he swore off ever falling in love again.

But he’s cooking me dinner, showing me around town, and saving me from getting trampled by the town’s favorite moose. Don’t even get me started on the way my brain short circuits when I catch him shirtless and towel-drying his hair.

The truth is? I’m falling hard, and I wish I didn’t have to leave.

July 1588

Mary Queen of Scots is dead, executed by order of her cousin, Elizabeth Tudor. With the name of the dead Queen upon their lips, an invasion force has set out from Spain: the invincible Armada.

As England rushes to prepare for war on land, Elizabeth Tudor sends her sea dogs out into the water to face the largest fleet assembled, in a desperate bid to save England from invasion, and herself from death.

The bond between humans and dogs is more intense than our bond with any other species?there’s not even a close second. Dogs are more than just a pet; they are trusted companions. They help us hunt, guard our homes, look after our livestock and even our children and, over time, do so many useful and wonderful things that it boggles the mind.

This compilation of heart-warming dog stories illustrates the pure love of these amazing creatures, including extraordinary instances and first-hand accounts of bravery, friendship, loyalty, devotion and companionship down to their very last breath.

There’s a reason we call them man’s best friend. No matter the situation, your dog is happy to see you. You are greeted with the same enthusiasm each and every time you walk in that door. A dog has the ability to live in the present moment. They don’t regret the past or worry about the future.

While we often ask so much of them, they require almost nothing in return. You can ask your dog to chase a Frisbee, take a nap on the couch, herd some sheep, or run around a show ring and he’ll do it, happily, for hours on end. He only wants to be fed, and told he’s good, and most of all loved. If a dog has love, he really needs nothing else.

In the presence of a dog, somehow, nothing else matters. A dog is handing out pure love, sparing no expense, and asking absolutely nothing in return. Perhaps American Humorist Josh Billings said it best: “A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.”
