I just found out about this deal, so I can’t say how long it will last. I hate when you click on a deal and find out it’s already over, but that’s the chance we take. In any case, it’s Mr. Impossible, a book that readers often cite as second favorite after Lord of Scoundrels. With some readers, Mr. Impossible is #1. But if you haven’t met Rupert and Daphne yet, now’s the time to do so, and to travel through early 19th century Egypt—all for a couple of bucks—and make your own decision. Or you can pass the word to a friend.
Miss Wonderful eBook now $1.99
Miss Wonderful, which starts my Carsington Brothers series, was my first book after a hiatus of several years It was a great joy to return to romance writing with a love story set in Derbyshire, home of the Peak (what we now call the Peak District), and a place I had visited a few years earlier. Plot elements as well as my hero were inspired by actual events, persons, and places, a great satisfaction to my nerdy history mind.

This was my first full-length historical romance, after half a dozen traditional Regencies. As far as I know, it’s the only historical romance set in Albania (partially). This book was intended to be part of a two-book set—once I realized that a certain character needed his own story. Somehow, the duo grew into what eventually became my five-book Scoundrels series.
