From an Amazon reviewer of Deadly Evidence...

Verified Purchase  Five Stars

This book is truly beautiful. There is no words to describe good enough. From the first page I was hooked. Page after page drawing me in deeper to a beautiful place and a family so real, I hated when it was over. I cannot tell you how many times I caught myself smiling, stressing or just feeling the emotions of the characters that was so wonderfully displayed in words that brought each character to life. As I closed the book after final page I realized i was smiling so big and as happy as if that was truly my life and family.
Well done, Roxanne to make it seem so real that a reader is Still smiling a truly blissful smile... A must read...

Tomorrow We Will Know
by Sandra Worth

Zoe, the duke's daughter, seems to have everything she could possibly want: royal birth, beauty, youth, a bright future and - at long last - Prince Constantine, whom she has adored since childhood. But Zoe lives in dangerous times. An ambitious sultan dreams of ruling the world and marches west to conquer Rome. Prince Constantine, now Emperor of Rome, stands alone against his forces, vastly outnumbered and deserted by those who should be allies. His only consolation is Zoe, who has become his inspiration and secretly his empress.

Zoe knows the compelling reason why their marriage must be kept secret, but the secrecy weighs on her. Rejected by her mother at birth for reasons she doesn't know and reviled as a whore by her peers, she feels an outcast among the nobility. Yet she must find strength in herself not only to endure what she must, but to give of her strength to Constantine.

When all seems lost, a princely hero famed for his military brilliance and valor arrives with desperately needed help. With the great warrior Justiniani to lead them, they win every battle. Victory is within grasp! If they can defeat the enemy one last time, they will save Rome.

But Justiniani, the man who can have any woman he wants, has fallen in love with Zoe, the secret empress of Rome, the only woman he cannot have. And now, in the last moments of the last battle, he faces an impossible decision, one that could cost him -- and Zoe, Constantine, and Rome - everything.

NATURE OF THE LION will be released internationally on 29th February.

I'm just a little in love with this awesome cover; I feel like this lion is walking down the road in front of me, and anyone who knows lions will tell you that he is getting too close!

This book is very close to my heart as it involves horses, which I have a great love of, and this book features some amazing horses. Many of their names are from ex-Grey-Scout horses that were really in the Rhodesia Bush War, and I've used their names to honour their memory.

You will find a few easter eggs with characters from SHOOTING BUTTERFLIES, which is releasing 31st March 2024, and CRY OF THE FIREBIRD putting in guest appearances.

But as they embark on a quest to uncover the genuine masterpiece, Alex risks exposing her true identity and jeopardizing her life.

To celebrate completing the California Suits series, Book 1, HOTEL KING, is FREE this month.

He's her grumpy boss. She's his nemesis. How thin is the line between love/hate?

Entrepreneur Ryan Michaels never loses. Well, except that time, a few years ago when he lost a promotion to spoiled rich girl, Charlotte "Charlie" Ray. Now he's forced to hire his nemesis to secure funding to develop a string of luxury boutique hotels. Not only does she not fit his corporate vision, but she's too damn attractive for her own good. And his.

Working as VP of Sales and Marketing for a luxury hotel is Charlie's dream job. Too bad her boss is Ryan Michaels, the same pompous stick-in-the-mud that she remembers. If he tells her that this project is his legacy one more time, she might scream. Or maybe kissing him will get him to shut up?

Because that's the other thing. The sizzling attraction between Ryan and Charlie is impossible to ignore. But everyone knows not to mix business and pleasure. Don't they?

To an outsider, television morning anchor Tess Stone's life looks like glossy perfection. Ambitious, beautiful, and married to a major league baseball player, Tess seems invincible---until an on-air catastrophe puts both her marriage and career in jeopardy. Retreating home to San Francisco from New York to take stock seems like the best move. But that involves a challenge of its own: confronting her sister, Avery.

Unlike Tess, Avery has pushed her own dreams aside in favor of running the family restaurant, Stones, dutifully adhering to her father's unchanging menu of stick-to-your-ribs traditional fare. She has mixed feelings about her sister's return. After all, Avery's fiancé, Bennett, loved Tess first, and it's impossible to shake her jealousy and dread---especially as Tess begins stealing attention left and right once more.

But while both sisters have been immersed in their own lives, their parents have been keeping secrets of their own. And the curveballs keep coming---throwing into question all their relationships, the restaurant's future, and their long-held assumptions about love, family, and especially, each other....

Then he forgets about it---until that lady with an iron will and breathtaking bravery arrives at his doorstep, ready to accept. Edwina tempts him like no other and suddenly, marriage doesn't seem an inconvenience. But will keeping his illness a secret cost him her love?

Victorian Mysteries with a Slow Burn Romance!

REVENGE IN THE ROGUE'S HIDEAWAY is up for pre-order! Check out what is next for Niall Kier and Kara Levett in the fourth book in the Kier and Levett Mystery Series. You can get the pre-order special price of just 99 cents!

You can find every kind of entertainment in the Rogue's Hideaway---song, dance, comedy . . . and murder.

The exposure of Niall Kier's secrets has largely been contained. None of it bothered Miss Kara Levett, in any case. She is fully ready to move forward with their personal plans, but Niall is hesitant, worried he might still face consequences or that she might be affected by scandal or threat.

Kara has been patient, but she's growing frustrated---until they are both distracted when a murder in the Rogue's Hideaway, the most infamous music hall in London, takes a personal turn. A friend pleads for intervention in the case and they find an unexpected ally---and perhaps more---in the club's brazen owner.

Tensions grow with each twist and turn in the case as Kara and Niall pursue theories and suspects through glittering Society, the splashy theatre community and into the busy, financial world that keeps the Empire afloat. Intrigue---and competition---abound, but the matter takes a dark turn when they find deception is in the air . . . and closer than they could guess.

The book is available now on Amazon, Kobo, Apple Books, and Barnes & Noble . . . but remember, it will be put into Kindle Unlimited at release, so grab it on the other vendors early!

Aiming for Love, Landing in Mayhem

While Valentine's Day is supposed to be full of romance and flying hearts, this year, Anna finds herself defending a misplaced Cupid, dodging a gang of thieving arrow shooters, and assisting Nick Bassaneli, her stubborn potential brother-in-law, with a bogus murder charge. Meanwhile, she's trying to find her sexy boyfriend the perfect gift, when all he wants is for her to show up to Valentine's dinner without danger on her heels.

Speaking of danger, Aiden Devlin is a little too secretive about his newest investigation, and something is hanging heavy over his head, but the stubborn Irishman refuses to share. Anna begins to fear that the 'bogus' murder charge might not be so bogus, and Nick truly could be in trouble. Unfortunately for Aiden, the Albertini family is full of self-proclaimed sleuths, and they're more than eager to crack the case before he can reach his own conclusions.

During the season of love, Anna is forced to juggle her meddling family, solve the puzzle of the chaotic Cupids, save her potential brother-in-law, and arrive at Valentine's Day dinner in one piece. Hey, miracles can happen.
