For
me, it has been a year of awakenings and for that reason, I am thrilled
to announce the November 5th release of Book Six in the Duke Series –
THE BLUE-EYED BLACK-HEARTED DUKE. This novel idea came to me in a dream
of a red wolf aside Radolf, The Duke of Wolferton. In the background
were images of a stained glass piece in a chapel featuring said red wolf
and an archangel wielding a blazing lightning bolt sword. This book
also represented a departure from my more traditional Regency stories in
that the characters led me into the FANTASY world of Regency
Paranormal. There are no vampires, werewolves, or shape shifters, but
these are spiritual guardians of my beloved duke according to a Legend
and the Prophecy in the prologue.

How do you tempt a sinner?—Offer him a saint!
Sizzling, spicy page turner Regency romance
with an element of fantasy supernatural.
Dark,
dangerous, brooding and in his eyes unredeemable, Radolf Wolferton,
Duke of Wolferton, doesn’t fear death but welcomes it. Guilt-ridden
because of his sinful past, the tormented hero of the Waterloo wars,
honor-bound, believes he is undeserving of love and closely guards his
black heart against love though the family prophecy predicts otherwise.
Powerfully drawn to him, Jaclyn Moreux, his ward, cannot deny his
allure and the sizzling attraction that grows. Lured by his seductive
pull, there are danger and passion in his embrace.
Can Jaclyn help Radolf conquer the internal demon who threatens their
future and recognize that a higher supernatural power destines their
love?
Can Radolf surrender to the supernatural power that speaks through the
stained glass portrait of his red wolf persona and the archangel to
fight for the woman he loves despite the pitfalls?
One
night he met with temptation and it bested him. Radolf, Duke of
Wolferton, had a reputation as a rake which he never wanted to uphold.
Yet a glistening thread of goodness was tattooed on his heart.
Available for pre-order now. Official world-wide release is on November 5th.
A
unique fact about this character is that Radolf discovered in his ten
years traveling the Ottoman Empire a unique flower. With a love of all
things Turkish, he cultivated…
The Turkish Halfeti Black Rose
Halfeti
Rose appeared to verify that Halfeti, Turkey was the only place in the
world where these unusual roses prospered. The pitch-black rose appeals
to women because of its rarity and also its association with darkness.
It depends on whether you seek the dark side of the rose in its
morbidity or the light side in its magic.
We
are told these roses appear black to the naked eye, and are grown only
in small quantities in the village of Halfeti, Turkey, which our hero,
Radolf, Duke of Tremayne, visited on occasion. Water seeps in from the
Euphrates River which has a unique pH level. On a first viewing, the
rose is black unless one takes a magnifying glass to inspect it.
Black
roses aren’t a natural variation that you can purchase from your local
nursery; they’re much more elusive and EXPENSIVE than that. Sometimes
called Black roses, they are also known as the Turkish Halfeti Rose,
Arab Bride or Arab Beauty, and bloom in small numbers.

Here’s an excerpt for your enjoyment, entitled THE KISS
Before
he could think, fingertips skimmed each other. A smile opened slowly,
her upper lips a single breath away, her tongue a slither of invitation
one moment, stilled the next, only to venture closer again. Slippery,
dazzling the senses, forbidden, but desirable in its implication, the
thrill spiraled higher and higher into a mad vortex of lust, pure,
and—simple. A sin so delightful, it spun around to make one unable to
resist, to give everything for her touch—the infinite pleasure. She
moved her mouth closer until there was no space left to hide—only to
join in a kiss of blissful ecstasy. Ahh, he never believed it possible
for him to feel such sensations again.
Hope you enjoyed this reading.
