The Doctor and the Devil is out now!

Greetings, dear readers! I am thrilled to invite you into the enchanting world of "Les Dames Dangereuses" once again. Today, I am delighted to share with you the third installment of this spellbinding series, "The Doctor and the Devil." I cannot wait to immerse you in the captivating story of Dr. Wilhelmina Van Helsing and her tumultuous journey through love, betrayal, and the supernatural.

Unbreakable Bonds and Haunting Betrayal:

In "The Doctor and the Devil," we delve into the life of Dr. Wilhelmina Van Helsing, a remarkable protagonist who has endured heartbreak and emerged stronger. Betrayed by her first and only love, she sought solace in Paris, dedicating herself to finding a cure for the blood plague devastating France. Mina's tenacity and unparalleled skills as a supernatural physician elevate her to the preeminent healer in all of Europe. However, her world is turned upside down when her former lover, Rafael Dracul, resurfaces unannounced, reigniting emotions she thought she had buried.

A Redemption Quest:

Rafael Dracul, burdened by his past actions, embarks on a journey to win back Mina's love, even after two decades of separation. But his mission is far from simple, as the shadowy organization known as the Order relentlessly pursues him. The Order seeks to eradicate the blood plague, but Rafael must clear his name, uncover the true origins of the devastating disease, and convince Mina that he has undergone a profound transformation. Their future, as well as the delicate balance between humans and vampires, hangs in the balance. The stakes have never been higher.

An Impossible Choice:

In a world teetering on the brink of war, Mina must confront her lingering anger and make an agonizing decision. Joining forces with Rafael means revisiting their shared history, which also means exposing herself to the dangers of the past. As the Order's poisonous influence tightens its grip on France, Mina's unwavering determination to protect her adopted homeland propels her forward. But will the pursuit of truth come at the cost of everything she holds dear? Can forgiveness and redemption pave a path to salvation?

A Tale of Love, Sacrifice, and the Supernatural:

Within the pages of "The Doctor and the Devil," we’ll explore themes of forgiveness, second chances, and the enduring power of the human heart. I’m thrilled to present this mesmerizing third installment of the "Les Dames Dangereuses" series. The enthralling story of Dr. Wilhelmina Van Helsing and Rafael Dracul awaits you, drawing you into a world where love battles darkness, and forgiveness becomes the ultimate weapon. I invite you to embark on this thrilling adventure, suspend disbelief, and lose yourself in the enchanting pages of this captivating novel. So, grab your copy, and let us embark on this unforgettable journey together! Paperback copies can be purchased now on Amazon and digital copies will go live on June 15. If you do read this book (or any of the Les Dames Dangereuses books), I hope you’ll consider leaving me a review on Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub, or social media. Thanks a million, and happy reading!

The Agent and the Outlaw is here!

I’m so excited to share my latest novel with you! The Agent and the Outlaw is book 2 in the Les Dames Dangereuses series and follows Charlotte de Brionne (Daphne’s cousin from The Assassin and the Libertine) on an adventure through the countryside with an infuriatingly sexy, crossbow-wielding kidnapper.

This book was so much fun to write! Charlotte is one of my favorite characters because of her wit, charm, and general zest for life. It felt only natural to give her a chance for true love in her own book following the events of The Assassin and the Libertine.

I hope you’ll give The Agent and the Outlaw a read and a review, since that’s the best way to help an author out! As an added bonus, I’m sharing some fabulous character art that I commissioned, featuring Charlotte, Antoine, and Antoine’s horse, Tartuffe.

Thanks so much for coming on this journey with me!
