Jane Digby’s Diary: To Begin, Begin

February 8, 2022 By

Here is your chance to read someone else’s diary – with her permission, of course. Jane Digby was a woman ahead of her time. Born in 1807 to wealth and privilege in Dorset, England, she sacrificed respectability to travel the world in pursuit of true love, all the while sampling contenders along the way! Any reader of her diary (and yes, it is written as an actual diary) should love history and language and have an appreciation of independent women who chart their own paths.

This volume is the first in a completed four-part series which chronicles Jane’s life from seventeen to sixty-six. Though a modern work of historical fiction, I strived to recreate the historical Jane Digby and her times as accurately as possible. I would love for you to read it. CR

Getting to Forever

October 26, 2021 By

He was protecting those he loved…. She wanted him to notice her and when he did, she knew she could never let him go. #Unputdownable

Amanda (Mandy) Gilchrist was just baffled by her colleague. One minute he was her rock and the next he couldn’t get away from her fast enough…only to land himself in jail. Her bosses now hate him and wouldn’t help him cross the street let alone post bail, so it was up to her — except someone got to him first. What the heck was going on? By now he must realize he needs her help… And it’s going to cost him because this time she’s not going to turn a blind eye.

Mandy’s going to make sure David sees her skills as a PI and as a woman too — one he’s got ‘tied up inside and out’.

Because he may not know it yet but they’re both looking for exactly the same thing.

David aka Hack Varetti is in deep. A little finagling with the FBI and maybe he’ll get his life back on track but there’s no guarantees. Making the wrong associations only landed him in the clink, but now he’s got a second chance — to fix his life. And to take care of her. Because, although Mandy doesn’t know it yet she needs something only he can give her, and he can’t wait to show her how a Dom brings his Sub to fulfillment because it’s something she’ll never forget.

Even though the last thing he wanted to do was involve her in his mess, afraid she’d get hurt.

He knew, if he wanted her to trust him again, he was going to have to work for it.

Everyone’s got to learn the ropes sometime…

“I love the way this amazing author brings the characters to life before your eyes and makes you feel their emotions …. I can hardly wait to see what’s next…” ~ 5 stars, Amazon Reviewer
