October 2025
It’s always fun to announce a new release and there’s something special about a Christmas book!
Those of you who have been following my various Mayfair books will remember Lady Elizabeth Tierney who has been a supporting character in many of the stories. I’ve long had it in mind to give Elizabeth her own happy ending and now is the hour!
Lady Elizabeth’s Winter Stranger: A Mayfair Christmas Romance is a classic seasonal story that I’m hoping will add a smile to your Holidays. Here’s the blurb:
A father’s ultimatum…
On Christmas Day, Lady Elizabeth Tierney is aghast when her father tells her he’s found her a bridegroom. She’ll meet her suitor, Viscount Fairchild, at tonight’s festivities, and Elizabeth had better charm him – or else!
A daughter’s defiance.
The spirited beauty has danced her way through four seasons and sees no reason why her life needs to change. At least until she falls in love with one of her admirers – and that shows no sign of happening. In a fit of temper, Elizabeth escapes to Hyde Park where she stumbles upon an intriguing gentleman who steals her heart.
Lady Elizabeth’s choice?
Which suitor will win her hand? Or has fate got another trick up its sleeve for Lady Elizabeth and her winter stranger?
The book is available from all the regular retailers, including:
Even better news, if you’d like a paperback version of the story, that should be out in the next week or so (I’ll put up details here once I’ve got links). Lady Elizabeth’s Winter Stranger is coming out in a duo with my bestselling Christmas story Miss Barton’s Mysterious Husband as A Mayfair Christmas: Two Scintillating Regency Romances.
And now for something fun if you’re anywhere near South-East Queensland on Sunday, 26th October.
There’s going to be a HUGE romance fair at Carindale Library including author talks, a bookstall, and the chance to meet a host of wonderful local writers. I’m doing a talk with the stellar Stella Quinn and I’d love to see you there. I’ll also be selling copies of my books so it’s a great chance to pick up Christmas presents for the romance readers in your life (or even for your sweet self!). Attendance is free but tickets are really limited now (romance is popular. Who knew?) so if you’re thinking of coming, book now!
