The first novel in the Bow Street Wallflowers trilogy.
Unwilling to be sold as brood mare in an arranged marriage, Lady Juliana Sinclair decides her own future, and runs. But disaster strikes, leaving her at the mercy of the first man that finds her.
Leonard Notley is tortured by his past and living in hiding with a young ward that he knows is better off without him. While hunting in the woods, he comes across a lost woman and feels compelled to help her.
Together, they navigate the pain of trust and vulnerability, and as the passion ignites between them, their carefully crafted facades begin to crumble.
With unknown dangers lapping at their heels and a search for Lady Juliana begun, will their time together be cut short? Or will their brief acquaintance be enough to put a balm on their injured souls and begin healing their wounds?

Secrets and Sin
Available now on print and eBook!
The second novel in the Bow Street Wallflowers trilogy.
A person with secrets…
Miss Maria Roberts refuses to rely on a man to secure her future. It took eight years to build a second life for herself, and nothing was going to stop her from living it—most particularly not a man who’d broken her heart once before or his cousin hell-bent on destruction.
A man under pressure…
Since the threats on his life began, Jasper Sinclair, the Duke of Derby has been searching for his volatile cousin. But it’s turned into an infuriating game of cat and mouse. After slipping the noose, his cousin was now alone in the world. And more dangerous than ever. It’s become more than Jasper can handle, and he’s out of resources. And time.
The threat continues…
Now, armed with her new position as a Bow Street runner and eager to take on her first solo case, Maria is pulled back into the life of the man responsible for her first heartbreak. With peril in constant pursuit, Maria and Jasper must learn to work together to find the duke’s cousin before it’s too late. Will they be able to put the past behind them in time to save themselves and find love?
Content Warnings: Death (both accidental, and not-so accidental), poisoning, swearing, violence (particularly hand-to-hand combat and the use of daggers and pistols), biting (not for pleasure), abusive family members, death of an animal (death not on-page, but the remains are), threats, discussions on death, fire (arson), explicit sex, sex without a condom (without pregnancy).
Things to also keep in mind:
* One of the side characters has Tourette Syndrome. Tourette’s was only first described/named in 1885. So, at the time this book takes place, people displaying signs/symptoms of Tourette’s were either hidden by the family or put in a place like Bethlem Royal Hospital. For that reason, there is conflict between Maria and their parents. I wrote this character as a sort of love letter to my kids (three of whom have Tourette’s). At the time of writing this novel, the types of tics this character has was precisely modelled after my oldest son.
* One of my protagonists is nonbinary. And while countless nonbinary people existed in the early 1800s, they hadn’t the more modern descriptive words we have today with which people might explain their feelings. I’ve done my best with Maria, and hope I’ve done their character justice. Maria’s pronouns throughout are she/her, but I imagine if they were around today, they would prefer they/them, with frequent uses of he/her, depending on what their heart said that day.
