Once upon a Scandal - Softcover

To provide for herself and her daughter, Lady Emma steals jewelry from the elite citizens who have snubbed her, until her estranged husband, Lucas Coulter, the Marquess of Wortham, catches her in the act and offers her a bargain that will compromise her heart. Original.

Call me a chronic dreamer, but I love a good book. Like everyone else, I get caught up in carpooling for my two daughters, taking out the garbage, and paying the bills. Reading is my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, the reward for a long day's work. Even after writing twelve romance novels of my own, I still love to escape into the magical world of another writer's imagination.

For your reading pleasure, I've included a bonus at the end of the book-- a sneak peek at my next historical romance, The Venus Touch.
