Patrick walked toward the waterhole, the sound of his father’s departing carriage drifting off in the distance behind him. He had come here to swim several times over the years, finding it a welcomed solace from the heat in this country. Was that why Hannah had invited him here? He could think of no other …
He walked up behind her, his arms going around her waist and down to the apex of her thighs, his fingers gathering up her skirts searching for the bare flesh beneath. She struggled against him, finally pulling away freeing herself. His stare was dark and confused. “Is my touch no longer welcomed?” “I am not …
“You truly have no care for society’s rules, do you?” “I do what I have to when I’m in town, but down here…” She twirled around, rejoicing in the warmth of the morning sun touching her skin. “Look where we are, John. There’s no one for miles. We’re free to live however we wish.” His …
Needing to understand what was driving his actions, Phoebe followed Raymond at a distance. Perhaps his need to push her away had more to do with his life rather than her own. For all she knew, he could be married with children waiting for him back home. Her gaze narrowed as she studied him at …

The question actually made me laugh out loud. After I composed myself, I did write an appropriate response, but what I really …
When I started writing the Sins of the Virtuous series, quite a lot of research had to go into them. Amongst the research of the obvious sins and virtues, I wanted to include something for me, and for those readers that were curious to look beyond the story a little. I’m talking about the origin …
Amorous Redemption, a no-longer-available book of mine, was riddled with problems and a restricted plot due to my then-publisher and the interesting way they chose to run their company and treat their authors.

Carnal Transgression explores a history of slavery in Australia few are taught about at school.
