I’m thrilled to show you the cover for Nocturne, my Regency-era gothic romance and share a little about how it came about.

There are some moments that come to you in a blinding flash of inspiration.

The story of governess Ella Montgomery and Thomas Worsley, the wounded veteran of the Napoleonic wars is one of those moments.

Nocturne is rich with understated tension that begins with the first page. It also has some unexpected twists along the way.

Nocturne is set in the beautiful county of Bedfordshire in the fictional town of Renthorpe.

The hero and heroine of Nocturne couldn’t wait to tell the story of their unconventional and forbidden romance, upstairs and downstairs intrigue. As the author, all I can do is just go along for the ride!

Nocturne is a novella.

Today I’m delighted to show off my cover and in the next week or two, I’ll be sharing some more snippets of their story and will let you know of it’s official release day.

It’s been a long time since a story has pulled me as this one has. I hope you enjoy it when it comes out in February in time for Valentine’s Day.
