Blurb
Right from the start she knew it wasn't about love.
As the youngest daughter of a wealthy family in medieval
England, Lady Jane of Acton has been betrothed to Gerard Twyfford, the son of
the Earl of Roseworth, since she was a baby. A dynastic marriage such as theirs
is about power and property, not love but even so Jane desperately yearns for
her husband's approval. But Gerard’s rare visits to her bed are for the sole
purpose of producing an heir, and she’s even failed at that. How can Jane win
Gerard over when she cannot even be the wife he needs her to be?
Would one last chance be enough? Could he make things
right, even now?
Ged Twyfford doesn't know what he's missing in life. A
powerful vampire, he’s lived for close to six hundred years and seen a lot
during his time but his past still haunts him. On a whim, he purchases
Roseworth castle, the keep he used to rule as lord. Mostly in ruins now,
Roseworth is a shell of what it was when he was still a mortal but Ged is
determined to make it his home again. Maybe this is what he's been missing,
maybe he needs a place to belong at last.
When a woman emerges from the lake beside his castle,
looking and sounding a lot like the wife he lost over five centuries ago, Ged
assumes she's a witch out to dupe him. But what if she is who she claims to be? Ged finally realizes just what he had, and
just how precious to him was the wife he betrayed all those hundreds of years
ago.
Do they really have a second chance or is it just too
late to start over?
Sometimes
fact is stranger than fiction. No spoilers, but Resurrection just screamed at
me to be written and as the story unfolds in there are some amazing twists in
the tale, extraordinary events which really did happen and will never be repeated.
Add in the romance of time travel, not to mention an über-sexy vampire and five
hundred years of English history and there is a fabulous story to be told. I
loved writing it, I hope readers enjoy Resurrection as much as I have.
EXCERPT (18+)
"Over my knee, Janey."
His tone had softened, and the intimate use of
her name gave her pause. Her husband rarely even spoke to her outside of formal
settings, let alone would he utter any endearment. His expression did not
suggest mockery, though she could not name the unfamiliar expression which
lurked in his sapphire eyes. With a dejected sob Jane prostrated herself across
his lap. Her waist-length plait trailed on the rug beside the bed and she
grasped at her husband's leather boot for support, convinced she would
overbalance and tumble to the flagged floor.
"Your shift, Jane."
"I, I cannot reach. Could you not
just—"
"Spanking requires a bare bottom, Janey.
You can reach, and I wish you to bare your buttocks for me now."
There was no alternative, no avoiding this. Jane
stretched her hand behind her to grab the hem of her garment and pulled it up.
She was oddly grateful that her husband steadied her with his arm to prevent
any danger of her falling as she did the same with the other side.
"Is that high enough, my lord?"
"Almost. Pull it right above your waist. I
wish to see all of your sweet derrière for this as I intend to turn the whole
of it a glorious shade of crimson."
Jane sobbed as she complied, uncertain whether
her tears were due to fear of what was about to happen to her or humiliation at
this treatment. Her husband might be cold and neglectful, but he had always
treated her with the utmost courtesy. Until now.
At this moment she longed for him to neglect
her.
"Good. You may scream and shriek all you
like, but you will not kick or struggle or otherwise seek to avoid your punishment.
I will tell you when we are finished here and you may get up, but until then
you will remain exactly where you are with your bottom nice and high. Do you
understand?"
"I cannot. You will hurt me..."
"I will. I intend to hurt you because I am
about to teach you a lesson you will not easily forget. I hope such occurrences
will be rare between us, my lady, but be under no illusion. I will make my point and disobedience will
earn you a bared and spanked bottom. So, you will be still, yes?"
"I will try, my lord." Jane did not
think for one moment she would succeed.
"You will do as I say, or we will continue
here until you do. You have a gorgeous arse, my sweet little wife, and I
already intend you not to wish to sit on it for several days. I recommend you
make every effort not to provoke me further."

Order
of the Black Knights
Every century has its knights, but they are not
always seen. Some of them do what must be done—getting their hands dirty when
no one else is willing. Assassins and antiheroes who work from the shadows,
they are called the Black Knights. From the time of the society’s creation in
the 1100s, these men are cursed to repeat their lives of bloodshed. But for
each knight, there is one who can bring out the man that waits inside and break
the cycle. The question is whether or not the knight will kill his true love
before he figures it out.

Gideon
Maybury enjoys a life of wealth and privilege, not to mention the advantages
his position offers him in his career as a merchant banker and in his less
public life as a high-class, skilled, and very well-paid assassin for Her
Majesty's government. When his brother dies
unexpectedly, he becomes the Duke of Westmoreland.
Michael
Mathison has hated Gideon since they were at university together. He’s
convinced Gideon had a hand in the death of Michael’s college lover,
Christopher, and that he had something to do with the death of his own brother.
So he gets a job as Gideon’s driver, enabling him to investigate the circumstances
surrounding the death of the elder Maybury sibling. At first his suspicions
seem to be confirmed, but clues come to light that suggest all is not as it
appears at Maybury Hall.
As the mystery
deepens, so does the attraction between the two implacable enemies. Each has
reasons not to trust the other, but neither is averse to a bit of kinky play.
Gideon and Michael end up owing each other their lives, and it results in
consequences neither could have imagined.

EXCERPT
(18+)
He had to be rid of the sexy driver. That
much was clear, sadly. But he saw no reason to let him go without sampling the
goods first. That would be just wasteful.
Gideon thrust his hips up and sought
to force more and more of his throbbing cock between Michael’s teeth. Michael was
on top and could control the depth, but he allowed Gideon to have his way. He
angled his face, which directed the head of Gideon’s cock into the pocket of
his cheek. At the same time, he increased the suction, and Gideon’s head spun.
“Christ. Fuck….” he muttered and
jerked his hips sharply. “Take me in your throat, you bastard.”
Michael grunted his agreement, but
didn’t immediately comply. Gideon made a mental note to make him fucking wait
when the time came, and tightened his fingers around Michael’s nuts. At last he
got the message and shifted position to accept more of Gideon’s cock. Michael
lowered his face and took Gideon inch by slow, agonizing inch. It was clear
he’d had practice—there was no gagging or backing off—but neither did Michael
allow Gideon to force the pace. Oddly, having made his point and gotten things
moving, Gideon was content to let Michael take charge. He lay still, and his
breathing labored as his balls clenched in readiness. It wouldn’t be a long
job.
The surge of pure pleasure was so
intense, Gideon could almost ignore the tingling, crackling sensation that
seemed to hover in the air whenever his driver was near, and the sizzle of
electricity that arced whenever he actually touched him. Gideon and one of his
many partners had played with a violet wand on one occasion. He hadn’t liked it
that much, in truth, and the buzz that passed between them put him mind of
that. Getting up close and personal with Michael was good—better than good—but
disconcerting at the same time. Gideon wasn’t averse to a little sexual
experimentation, but generally he knew what he liked, and it didn’t involve
being plugged into the mains.
Gideon groaned and reached for
Michael’s head. He tangled his fingers in Michael’s blond locks and pushed his
face lower. Michael didn’t resist. He allowed Gideon’s cock to drive deeper
into his throat. Gideon arched his back, closed his eyes, and gave himself over
to the intense pleasure of shooting his load into the back of a handsome man’s
throat.
Jesus,
but my man is skilled at this. Such a pity he has to die.
