THE SINCLAIR FAMILY SAGA
All the books were written to stand alone, but a family saga is loosely woven
behind the individual books, with a mystery to unravel about hidden family
secrets. The books are connected like this:
DEAR
IMPOSTOR: Featuring Gabriel Sinclair, the daring younger brother who
was disinherited by his family, and the beautiful and wealthy Miss Psyche Hill.
BEAUTY IN BLACK: Gabriel's
older brother John Sinclair, marquis of Gillingham, and young widow Marianne
Hughes, guardian for Louisa Crookshank. (Also a Merry Widow book)
WIDOW IN SCARLET is another
Merry Widow book, a parallel series, with our favorite 'fairy godmother'
character, the slightly wicked and witty countess of Sealey).
Back to the Sinclairs:
VISION
IN BLUE: Miss Gemma Smith, an orphan of unknown parentage, learns
that she might be the sister of Gabriel Sinclair and comes to London to find out
the truth, meeting Captain Matthew Fallon who seeks his lost sister Clarissa at
the same ill-run orphanage that Gemma once inhabited. Gemma makes friends with
Louisa Crookshank along the way. Both young women find romance and
adventure--and even danger--before they're done.
GILDING THE LADY: Clarissa
Fallon must lose the bad habits she learned during her less fortunate years.
Dominic Shay, the haughty earl of Whitby, bets a friend he can make her the most
admired lady of the season.
LADY IN WAITING: Psyche's
younger sister Circe Hill and Gabriel's friend David, earl of Westbury, become
involved in dangerous European intrigue that has followed them into London's
most select salons and ballrooms.
Note: These have all been published, but LADY
IN WAITING and DEAR IMPOSTOR are
no longer in print and becoming hard to find.
Next: Out June 30, 2006:
SEDUCING
SIR OLIVER: the first book about the Applegate Sisters, Gabriel's
newfound half sisters. Juliana Applegate comes to London, meets a hunky amateur
zoologist Sir Oliver Ramsey and helps him chase an escaped monkey through Lady
Sealey s elegant London mansion. The monkey even lures Sir Oliver into Juliana s
bed! Juliana and Oliver come to the aid of Lady Sealey when she is threatened by
a mysterious peril from her past. Both passion and danger quickly spiral. . .
A LADY OF SCANDAL: Feb 2007.
Ophelia and Cornelia, the Applegate twins, run away to London to go on stage and
encounter danger, disgrace, and, of course, passion in the most unlikely forms
of a gentleman thief and a vicar!
I hope you enjoy them all!!
