Today I am celebrating the UK release of Desired, book 5 in the Scandalous Women of the Ton series. I am so thrilled that the book is now available in the UK – and in its beautiful UK cover as well!  It’s no secret that I loved writing Desired.  I had a big author-crush on the hero, Owen Purchase, who had been a character in several of the other books in the series. I wanted Owen to have a story of his own because he was very special – loyal, funny, handsome, resourceful, and with so much integrity.  Owen and the heroine of Desired, Tess, are engaged in a cat and mouse game that is  sweet, sexy and dangerous, and it was huge fun to write their interactions.

Over on the UK Historical and Regency Authors’ Blog today I am celebrating the publication of Desired with a blog about the historical background to the book, the radical politics that Tess is involved with and the political caricatures she secretly draws.  Please drop by and join me – and check out all the other fabulous articles there are on the blog, from author Elizabeth Hawksley writing about what it was like to grow up in a big country house to Sarah Mallory talking about the music that inspires her books to Christina Courtenay blogging about ball gowns!
