The Spinster's Christmas
Now available in both the original version and a new illustrated edition!
Regency romantic suspense
Prequel to the Lady Wynwood's Spies series

A Christmastide houseparty with the Belmoores reunites him with his childhood friend, Miranda, but he is appalled at the verbal abuse she endures and wants to help her.
The festivities are disrupted when a cloaked intruder attacks Gerard, with Miranda as the only witness. Now the two of them must uncover who wants to harm him and why, before Twelfth Night ends in murder …

He looked down the hallway outside the ballroom, but at first he saw no one. Then he peered into the shadows at the end of the hallway, and saw a figure leaning against the wall. He headed toward her.
It was only when he drew near that he realized something was wrong. Her hand over her stomach trembled. Her face was whiter than the painted walls.
“Miranda.”
She saw him, and something in her eyes made him think of the faces of men who were drowning.
He strode forward, his cane dropping to the ground, and he folded her in his arms.
