The baronet finally gets his bride!
A few years ago I wrote a Regency romance called The Spinster’s Secret that had a pair of secondary characters who fell in love: an impoverished widow (Cecy) and a baronet (Gareth) who’d lost an arm at Waterloo.
That particular novel belonged to another couple, but I’ve always wanted to write a novella the showed Cecy and Gareth reaching their Happy Ever After, because I knew they had some hurdles to overcome.
You know that feeling when there’s something you want to do but don’t have the time because other projects keep getting in the way? That niggling something-left-undone feeling? Well, that’s the feeling I’ve had for the past couple of years.
But finally—finally—I found a window of time in which to write Gareth and Cecy’s story!
The Baronet’s Bride is a short novella about what can go wrong—and right—on a wedding night.
Here's the cover:
And here's the blurb:
The Baronet’s Bride concludes the Midnight Quill Trio, a collection of three linked historical romances. It’s a wonderful feeling to have finally finished it! You can be certain that I opened a bottle of bubbly to celebrate. :)
And now I can embark on my next project: a new Baleful Godmother series set in Regency England.
I'm gonna be busy this year!

And here's the blurb:
Sir Gareth Locke lost an arm at Waterloo. He’s in love with his new bride—but he’s dreading their wedding night. He knows it will be an ordeal: clumsy, awkward, and mortifying.
Cecily Locke knows what to expect in the marriage bed—after all, she’s been married once before. It will be uncomfortable and a little messy, but over quickly enough.
But Cecily and Gareth are about to have a wedding night that neither of them expects…
