Today the fourth book in the Baleful Godmother series, Trusting Miss Trentham, hits the shelves!

Release day is always as nerve wracking as it is exciting, and today it's a little more nerve wracking than usual because I love this novel so much. Trusting Miss Trentham is very much a book of the heart, and it's also a bit unusual--partly because of the heroine, who is very strong-minded, but mostly because of the hero, who is in a very dark place. I hope readers will love him as much as I do!

Here's the blurb:

She's more than just an heiress . . .

Letitia Trentham is noteworthy for three reasons. One, she’s extremely wealthy. Two, she can distinguish truth from lies. Three, she’s refused every man who’s ever proposed to her.

Until Letty receives a proposal she can’t turn down.

Icarus Reid barely survived the Battle of Vimeiro. He lives for one thing—to find the man who betrayed him to the French. He doesn’t want to marry Miss Trentham; he wants to use her talent for uncovering lies.

Suddenly, Letty finds herself breaking the rules, pretending to be someone she’s not, and doing things a lady would never do. But her hunt for the truth may uncover more than one secret—including the secret that haunts Icarus day and night. The secret he intends to take to his grave…

If you read Trusting Miss Trentham , please tell me what you think. (I mean that!) I'd love to know what readers think of Letty and Icarus and Icarus's dark secret.

Happy New Year -- and happy reading!
