Life happened, my writing schedule was disrupted, and my last release was in June of 2023. Those challenges, however, make this particular release that much sweeter.

Lady of a Gilded Age is a standalone novel, but it is a sequel to Duke of a Gilded Age. If you have not already read Duke of a Gilded Age, here is a little more about the story:

Blurb: When American-born Wesley Parker inherits a dukedom in 1890, he must be taught how to be an aristocrat. Assigned to the task is his attorney’s daughter, prim Belle Oakhurst. As they travel to England together on a luxurious ocean liner, their tempestuous relationship encounters more than rough seas. Neither Wesley nor Belle can foresee that their voyage across the Atlantic will be fraught with peril, and will cost more than one man his life.

Lady of a Gilded Age follows Stephen van Eyck and his sister, Louise, about five years after the events described in Book One. The story is set mainly in the fictitious town of Little Paisley, which is located in the county of Wiltshire. As I wrote Lady of a Gilded Age, I truly enjoyed spending more time with the Van Eyck siblings. There is also one other witty, unforgettable character from Book One who makes a special appearance in Book Two, and I loved spending time with him as well.

Blurb: In the wake of romantic disappointment, Stephen van Eyck and his sister, Louise, decide to leave England and return to Philadelphia. When he inherits a property from an earl he barely remembers, however, they delay their departure long enough to visit the place. Once Stephen discovers the residence is magnificent, he feels compelled to make amends for his windfall to the earl’s heirs. Unfortunately, the beautiful Lady Delphine wants nothing to do with him.
