Sheridan Jeane’s New Historical Romance
My friend Sheridan Jeane has a new historical romance release out today! Check out the lovely Lady Catherine on that cover…she looks like she’s hiding something…
Synopsis: London, 1853. Despite Lady Catherine’s love of fencing, she needs to stop pretending to be a boy and fraternizing with men…but not until after the fencing tournament! Her mother plans to marry her off by the end of the season, so this will be her last chance to enjoy her freedom. When she impulsively puts her reputation at risk to save the life of a dashing competitor, all seems lost when he sees through her disguise, but he vows never to reveal her secret. Thank goodness for gentlemanly honor!
Daniel, Marquess of Huntley, wants to overcome the rumors of his father’s madness so that he can be embraced by London society. His plan is to marry the most proper woman who will have him, and then raise stable, respectable children. He certainly isn’t interested in some hoyden with a penchant for masquerading as a boy and flaunting society’s rules. In fact, he’d prefer to keep his distance.
When an obsessed suitor discovers Catherine’s secret and threatens blackmail, the only path out of social ruin is marriage. But what kind of protection does matrimony provide when a vengeful suitor is plotting the ultimate revenge?
Order Lady Catherine’s Secret from Amazon here.

About the Book!
In 1851, Cecilia Paring has serious reservations about marrying her fiancé, Devin Montlake. Gone is the boy who could capture her heart with a word or a glance and in his place is a man who has made it clear that to be a proper barrister’s wife, the exciting and impulsive Cecilia must change as well.
Although Devin Montlake loves his orderly life as a barrister, he’s determined to follow his roadmap to achieve his goal of becoming a judge. His biggest obstacle seems to be convincing his headstrong fiancée to fulfill her social obligations with a modicum of propriety.
But when the jewelry collection belonging to Cecilia’s family is stolen the night before it is to be auctioned off and Devin is framed for the crime, he discovers that following his much-loved rules won’t solve this particular problem. He’ll need the inventiveness of his irrepressible fiancée to catch the thief.
Excerpt
“Trust you?” She narrowed her eyes in mock suspicion. “I don’t trust anyone who says ‘trust me.’ Aren’t you the boy who put frogs in my teapot when Evangeline and I were having a tea party at Sir Timton’s lawn party?”
The knot in Devin’s stomach eased at her bantering words. “Your memory is faulty,” he said, using a teasing tone that mimicked hers. “It was his daughter’s birthday party. And if you’ll put your mind to it, you’ll recall that you said you planned to kiss one hundred frogs in order to find your prince. I was simply trying to help you on your quest.”
The childhood fantasy had suited her. She’d always looked like a princess to him, with her pale hair framing her face like a shimmering crown of gold. Even though her hair was darker now, when he looked at her, he could still catch a glimpse of that child.
His princess burst out laughing. “I’d forgotten about that plan. How did you even know about it?”
“It was common knowledge.” He recalled his half-thought-out plan to appear when she’d kissed her one hundredth frog. Well, perhaps it had been more of a daydream. She’d kiss her last frog and then look up to find Devin waiting for her. The daydream ended there. After all, he’d been five years her senior.
Of course, he’d been more whimsical back then. At least, he’d tried to be. Being around Cecilia seemed to have that effect on him. She leached the rigidity from him, making him feel unconstrained and free to be himself.
Even now he was amazed at the way fate had thrown them together. Would he have even met her if she hadn’t lived so close to him? Would he have fallen in love so irrevocably? He knew Miss Cecilia Paring. He knew her deep down to the tips of her toes and the corners of her soul. He’d seen her splashing in the rain puddles after a storm until her dress was soaked all the way through. He’d seen her caring for an abandoned baby bird, allowing it to perch on her shoulder all day, leaving white droppings on her dress. He’d even seen her slamming her hand against the piano keyboard with frustration when she couldn’t move her fingers fast enough to master a new piece.
“Did you ever make it all the way to one hundred frogs?” he asked. He would have missed it, since he’d left not long after that party to attend Oxford.
She didn’t respond for a moment, and he began to think she wouldn’t, until she finally said, “Of course I did. I found my prince, didn’t I?”

My name is Miranda Liasson and I have a lighthearted and sexy contemporary romance coming out with Indulgence in 2015. It’s a classic enemies-to-lovers story that takes place in a small town with a hot billionaire and a well-meaning and loyal graphic designer who would do anything to help her family.And they have some seriously hot chemistry going on! Here’s the blurb:
When a desperate graphic designer wins her venture capitalist ex-lover in a bachelor auction and brings him home to their small town in a last-ditch effort to stop his hostile takeover of her family’s shoe company, she must decide between her intense bonds of family loyalty and the old sweetheart she never stopped loving.
Hope you stop back in the next month or two when I’m able post my title and release date!
So, to celebrate Halloween and the fact that I’ll soon be an Entangled author, I thought I’d post some pet Halloween pictures.
The pic of this cute little devil was provided courtesy of pandpstock001 at FreeDigitalPhotos.net.

(Okay, the one on the left isn’t exactly Halloweenish but hey, free pet photos that can be used without a problem on the Internet aren’t exactly easy to come by :))
And then there are the less professional photos of pets in Halloween attire, starring my personal pets, Maggie the Yellow Lab (aka Margaret when she’s naughty), and Posey, the ridiculously spoiled cat.
“Too Sexy for a Shirt”
“Hairy Potter”
“Just Clowning Around”
“Princess napping on my shoulder”
Attention: It should be noted that no pets were harmed during this exercise, only given hugs and treats.
After this brief experience in quasi-dressing up my pets, I decided that their role on Halloween would be better served to stay in their au natural state and help me greet the Halloweeners at the door.
