Heat Levels Legend
I write open-door male/female romantic sex.
So if you don’t like sex scenes in your books, I’m not the right author for you.

However I do have to emphasize that my sex scenes are sensual, emotional, and romantic. I use minimal physical descriptions and focus on the emotions the characters are experiencing during the sex scene. Books with a 4.5 or higher rating were written at the beginning of my publishing career. They are not as polished as as my later books. 

Level 2 — One tame sex scene
Level 3
— One or two steamy sex scenes
Level 4 — Two or more hot sex scenes 
Level 5 — Multiple sex scenes ranging from hot and raw to visceral, up-against-the-wall sex

Language Use — My heroes use the word FUCK to demonstrate anger and frustration. It depends on the hero and what’s happening the story as to how often it’s used. You will never see the word sh*t, in my historicals. It brings to mind images of raw sewage and filth, nor does it really emphasize true frustration in my opinion. I use the word fuck because it’s raw, visceral, and the guttural sound makes it perfect for harsh emotions. You have been warned. *grin*

Youth and beauty are a courtesan’s greatest assets. At forty-one, Lady Ruth Attwood appears to have lost both, as her latest lover just abandoned her for a younger mistress. Struggling with the knowledge that she’s no longer considered desirable, she’s uncertain whether to be offended or flattered when a younger man makes her an unusual offer. In need of funds, she agrees. But then she does the unthinkable. She falls in love.


Despite his reputation as a man’s man, Baron Garrick Stratfield has never been with a woman. His physical impairment is such that he knows not even a whore will touch him, and he needs a mistress who’s willing to be kept without sharing his bed. But passion is just a delicious kiss away because his new mistress is wreaking havoc with his senses. Worse yet, someone is not only out to ruin his reputation, but frame him for murder.

Julia Westgard commissioned a nude portrait to regain her self-worth after years of a loveless, repressive marriage to her late husband. But the private portrait puts her directly in the path of Morgan St. Claire, one of the Marlborough Set’s most notorious seducers. A man who doesn’t take no for an answer.

From the moment Morgan sees Julia’s portrait, he’s determined to make her another conquest. But the woman he meets is a far cry from the image on canvas. What begins as a simple exercise in seduction quickly evolves into a quest to reveal the true Julia. With each sensual encounter, he employs every weapon of seduction at his disposal in hopes of making Julia see she really is the woman in Love’s Portrait.

The Roman Empire never collapsed for Ares DeLuca and other Sicari. Ares comes from an ancient bloodline of telekinetic assassins who have lived in the shadows for two millennia. The Sicari are honor bound to kill only in the name of justice, but Ares broke the Order’s code and used his sword for revenge. Love cost him dearly once before, and he’s not willing to pay the price again. At least not until hot, sweet, delectable Emma enters his world. Not only does she have the ability to save an ancient empire’s collapse, she holds the key to a valuable Sicari relic and quite likely the key to his heart.

Archeologist Emma Zale sees the past when she touches ancient relics. It’s how she uncovered evidence of an ancient order of assassins—the Sicari. When a sinfully dark stranger shows up on her Chicago doorstep, he drags her into a world where ancient Rome still rules, and telekinesis and empaths are the norm. But someone wants her dead, and her only hope of survival is an assassin who’s every bit as dangerous to her body as he is to her heart.

Only Love Can Save an Empire’s Collapse and Ensure Another’s Downfall
