An Alliance with his Enemy Princess

-

I can't quite believe my second historical romance for Harlequin Mills & Boon is out tomorrow! It will be published on Thursday 22nd December, as an e-book in the UK, and the following week in the US and Canada, Tuesday 27th December, in e-book and in paperback. 

 


 

Some lovely early reviews are coming in already - you can read them on Goodreads - and, just to whet the appetite at bit, here are some story facts and posers:

  • Gwennan is sworn to avenge her dead husband and to love no other man but he.  
  • Rolant has been fooled by a woman before, a cruel lesson in unrequited love that had tragic consequences.
  • Since Rolant has come to take possession of Gwennan's home, in the name of his Norman overlord, how can they ever be anything but enemies?
  • Whose claim will King William Rufus uphold - that of a dispossessed but proud Welsh princess or that of the mighty Earl Robert of Rhuddlan?
  • And finally, what does Gwennan Fwyn mean? And will Rolant ever find out!
So, if you fancy finding out the answers to those questions, and would like to enjoy a high stakes, medieval enemies to lovers story over Christmas, An Alliance with his Enemy Princess is available via the links below. 
 
Happy reading and a very merry Christmas!

    Just finished reading and oh, my heart! What a poignant and hopeful story. You did a wonderful job depicting Gwennan's turmoil and exploring deeper questions relating to identity and family. It's so great to see a romance tackling historical issues such as the Norman invasion of Cymru and how people dealt with the reality. Rolant is lovely, patient and self-aware. They're a fantastic couple, and I loved Nest and Ywain seizing the chance at happiness too. Diolch yn fawr am llyfr dda iawn - and I'm so pleased you have a third book coming next summer!

      Diolch yn fawr iawn, Leslie! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. The story felt very different to my first book, as the third feels very different to the second, since the characters themselves tell me what and how to write! I'm proud to be able to set my books in Wales and it's pleasing that readers are connecting on so many levels, historically and culturally, as well as emotionally. Thank you again for buying and reading it, and I hope you enjoy the summer one too - which is set, typically, in winter!! In the meantime, Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda xx

Nadolig Llawen - Merry Christmas!

It's an unusual December for me this year, as I'm taking a little break from writing until January. My latest novel - The Warrior's Forbidden Maiden (sneak preview of the cover at the end of this post!) - was accepted by my editor at Harlequin Mills and Boon at the beginning of November, and since then I've been sitting back and mulling over the next project.  It's been a few years since I took such a long break from writing, and for someone who writes every day, it's been very strange. However, it has had exciting results. Before I started writing, I was always a voracious reader of historical fiction, and particularly the medieval period. Among my favourite books are those by Rosemary Hawley Jarman, set against the  Wars of the Roses - We Speak No Treason, The King's Grey Mare and The Courts of Illusion , the latter, to my mind, her best work.  I've had a desire to write about the Wars of the Roses for a while now, and after re-reading these wonderfu

RNA Conference 2016

The annual Romantic Novelists' Conference is one of the highlights of my calendar, and this year was no exception. Held at Lancaster University, the venue was lovely even if the weather wasn't exactly sultry and summer-like.  Getting together with good friends over a bottle or three of Prosecco was the absolute high spot of a wonderful couple of days. The sessions were interesting and inspiring, among them HQ Harper Collins 'Reaching the Top in Commercial Fiction,' Vasiliki Scurfield on 'Writing the Foreign Hero' and Kate Walker on 'Emotional Punch.' One of the most illuminating sessions, from my point of view at least, was Sonia Duggan's workshop on 'Rekindling your Romance with Writing.'  Having been writing for almost ten years and as yet unpublished, this one really struck a chord with me.  Sonia gave us an exercise on composing a Dear John letter to our writing and what I wrote both surprised and shocked me and, for the first time, I was

RNA Conference 2018

As a writer, the annual conference is definitely the highlight of the year for me and, surprisingly, it seems to come around quickly each time. This year was no exception and, from counting down the months, then the weeks, then the days, suddenly I was packing and wondering which shoes would go with which dress! Welcome with Nicola Cornick and Jan Jones This year, the conference was in Leeds Trinity University, a campus just outside Headingly. Leeds is a lovely city but I didn't see anything of it beyond the train station. Horsforth, where the campus is located, was really nice though, and I enjoyed a short and pleasant walk from the train station to the campus with HMB author Rachael Thomas . The conference sessions were useful and enjoyable and included a double presentation from Mills and Boon. This began with editors from the longer 'Trade' imprint giving a summary of the recent rebranding of the company, and concluded with the Series editors outlin
