FLASH SALE: Two Difficult Dukes books for a Kindle One Day Gold box on 21-22 July. $0.99 for A Duke in Shining Armor and $1.99 for Ten Things I Hate About the Duke.

Those are my most recent books. How about a deal on an early work?

The Lion’s Daughter, the eBook of my first full-length historical romance* is on sale from 19-26 July for $0.99. For less than a dollar you can make a rare visit to Albania in the time of Lord Byron, the Prince Regent, and other historical figures you’ve come to know through my and other writers’ early 19th century-set romances.

**One of the traditional Regencies, The English Witch, is also set partly in Albania.
