I am an avid traveler and have enjoyed visiting schools and volunteering with children's organizations in Peru, Ecuador, Thailand, and Mexico, and I have amassed thousands of photos I unleash on unsuspecting friends who dare to ask about my travels. In addition to earning my degrees in the U.S., I have studied theatre in London, Mexican history in Guadalajara, and Spanish in Ecuador. I love the period’s rich history and find that all those rules of etiquette and propriety can be worked to the heroine’s advantage…if she’s daring enough to seize her dreams.

The best part of writing historical romances is falling into history-to live in the world of Regency England through my characters, with dazzling balls, beautiful dresses, and gorgeous houses that I would otherwise never be able to experience. When I read my first Regency romance in 2012, I was hooked and longed to create my own independent and spirited heroines and dashing heroes. I fell in love with historical romances and all things Regency-and especially all those dashing Regency heroes-while living in England, where I spent most of my time studying the Romantic poets, reading Jane Austen, and getting lost all over the English countryside. When faced with his past as a scoundrel, can Stephen find a way to obtain what his heart desires most-the woman he was never meant to have? Four years have certainly matured him physically, but Faith doubts if he’s truly changed into the respectable and loving lord he proclaims himself to be. Now he’s back and hell bent on proving that he’s changed. After all, he’d broken her heart in a wounding so terrible that it nearly destroyed her belief in love.

Lady Faith Westover, daughter of the Duke of Strathmore, knows better than anyone the scoundrel that Stephen had been. Now he’s returned to England a new man, one set on reclaiming everything he’d lost. But four years in the army and the loss of his best friend have irreparably changed him. Gambling, drinking, scandals, seduction.nothing seemed out of bounds for the young peer in his wild pursuit to prove himself to be the exact opposite of everything his respectable family wanted.

Stephen Crenshaw, Marquess of Dunwich, set his sights on becoming one of the ton’s most notorious rogues.
