Their passion is powerful. The war deadly dangerous.
She disguises herself for the battle.
He must find her, protect her, no matter the cost.
It’s a war, to end all wars.
Miss Julia Chalmers isn’t like any other lady a gentleman would ever meet. Yes, she wears gowns and skirts, but she much prefers to don lad’s clothing, a disguise which allows her to roll up her sleeves within the trenches as she aids her father, an engineering professor of great renown. Their current mission: Halting the French in their bid to take over Portugal.
As Napoleon’s French force bears down on them, Major Harry Trentbury works diligently with a team of engineers in Portugal as they build fortified Lines of redoubts, trenches, and garrisons across the entire width of the peninsula to protect the city of Lisbon. At every turn he clashes with the professor’s daughter, a beautiful and quick-witted lady who stokes both his anger and passion to rise, his need for her an infuriating emotion he can’t seem to shake. As tensions increase and a battle becomes imminent, he rides out and fights on the front line, only disaster looms—she has followed him, disguised as a lad.
Protecting her now is essential, but when he suffers a terrible fall on the battlefield and awakens with a fatal loss of memory, all could be lost… Until he sees her.
Could she be the one to unlock his memories and bring him back to the land of the living?
Hi everyone, The Wartime Bride is here. I love giving a special low price for pre-order and the first three days of release week, so as usual there is $1 off as a thank you for all you’ve done for me. Thank you so much for your amazing support. I’ve included a lip-smacking excerpt below.
Exclusive Excerpt:
“Your men will be expecting you. I understand that you must go.” Julia would never keep Harry from doing his duty. “Will I see you tonight?”
“You surely will, and I apologize profusely for abandoning you so early in the morning.” After steering her back into her chamber, he eyed his regimental jacket where she’d left it folded on top of the book on her nightstand. A slow smile lifted his lips, his gaze tipping toward hers. “It all began with you removing my dolman.”
“No, it all began six months ago, when you rode into St. Vincent’s. I’ve fancied you since the beginning.” She collected his jacket and held it out to him and he accepted it, his fingers sliding sensually over the backs of her fingers. Her hand tingled, her skin so sensitive to his touch. “Do you remember the first day we met, Harry?”
“Always. You scolded me, terribly.”
“I had every right to. You raced across the firing range and dived on top of me. We rolled quite the distance, and you ruined my blue skirts. I had to toss my favorite white blouse away too.”
“You could have been hit by cannon fire.”
“I hadn’t intended on crossing the actual cannon firing range, only skimming the outside.”
“It didn’t appear that way to me.” He touched his chest. “My heart hasn’t beaten the same way ever since.”
“Neither has mine.” That much she could certainly admit to. “It will be an interesting affair, don’t you think?”
“Likely the best affair of my life.” He flinched and clasped his dolman over the front of his breeches, but not before she’d caught the telltale sign of a bulge rising within. “Julia,” he muttered. “You need to cease flirting with me. Mr. Jones is not getting the point, that he and I are about to head out for training.”
“Is it painful when that happens?”
“Are you curious as to a man’s nether regions?”
“Only yours.” She licked her lips.
Wishing you all a wonderful week. Stay safe.
Happy Reading.

Hi everyone, The Earl’s Secret Bride is now on pre-order and set to release in just a few weeks. I love giving you all a special low pre-order price, so as usual there is $1 off as a thank you for all you’ve done for me, and for your amazing support.
This is Winterly’s story and it absolutely flew out of me when I wrote it. I love it when stories do that. It’s as if I’m already so in tune with the characters and their coming adventure. I’m also totally in love with the Regency era. What an intriguing time in history. In Winterly’s story you’ll get to travel to Penrith, England, which is near the Scottish border where Winterly finds himself falling for a lady who is loyal and loving and unfortunately betrothed to another man. That won’t stop him though from coming to her aid, not even when his lady gets herself into an incredibly tight pickle.
Purchase of this book will also be available on Joanne’s Store one week before the official release date. My store will release books around 1-2 weeks before other wide vendor sites.

It has been an absolutely amazing experience to write Harry’s story. I love immersing myself in history, particularly the Regency era during the Napoleonic Wars, and I truly hope you can join me on this journey with Harry and Julia, where we travel directly to the front line. This couple will stand up to their enemy as the French attempt to invade Portugal. There is simply no stopping them once they’ve begun their fight. Expect tons of adventure, action, and romance as they fight the war of all wars.
I hope everything is well with you and your family. I have four children myself, the oldest being nineteen and now at university, the youngest thirteen and now starting high school, the two in the middle are fifteen and seventeen. I’m not sure where all the time goes, but it sure flies by. A few months ago, my daughter took a selfie with me and my kids. I just managed to sneak in on the left. My puppy got one white furry ear in on the right. Hubby was at work, so he missed out on making it into the photo. We’ll try squeezing him into a selfie next time. 🙂
From my family to yours, wishing you all a wonderful week. Stay safe.
Happy Reading.

Death and danger won’t halt this loyal lady from aiding her earl in uncovering the dark secrets within his family. A spine-tingling Regency romance from New York Times Bestselling Author Joanne Wadsworth.
Falling for her isn’t permitted.
Following the brutal murder of his father and elder brother, James Hargrove, the Earl of Donnelly, comes into a title he never expected. His future was set, to join the 18th Royal Hussars and dedicate his life to his king and country. Now, he’s been dragged into the shadowy depths of the underworld as he seeks to discover the impossible—to uncover who murdered his loved ones.
Lady Sophia Trentbury has long since loved the earl and fears for his life when she learns of his decision to uncover who murdered his father and brother. She’ll do whatever it takes to aid him in his mission, even if she must immerse herself in London’s deadly underworld of spies and espionage.
As the earl is swept into a lethal circle of deadly enemies, he must discover what is truth and what is deception, and all while protecting the scorching love of his lady who won’t leave his side, even when he demands it. Can he hope for victory?
Hi everyone, The Earl’s Bride is here! There is something quite special about writing within the Regency era, when heroes and heroines rose up and love knew no bounds. I hope you’ll join me as Sophia and James embark on a whirlwind of an adventure. There is mystery and intrigue around every corner.
I’m going to drop a tasty excerpt below.
EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
James halted next to Sophia where she waited along the upper landing overlooking the main foyer below, her beautiful blue eyes as vivid in color as a summer sky and as deep as the ocean itself. “I might not be wearing my regimentals with a saber and pistol in hand, but that makes me no less suitable as your—your—never mind.”
“I understand you have a murderer to uncover and justice to seek, as well as a large earldom to take the reins of, but you could use a friend at your side.”
“Which is why the Duke of Ashten is here.”
“I wasn’t referring to Ashten as that friend.”
“You and I will never be friends.” He stated that firmly. “You’re meant for another.”
Sophia studied him, her head slanted to one side and the elegant length of her neck exposed. Everything about her intrigued him, as it always had and always would. When deep in thought, she would nibble on her lower lip and plump it up in the most distracting of ways, her sweetly innocent action always bringing a smile to his lips. She did so now, her teeth nipping into the soft flesh.
“Winterly needs to take you in hand.” He crossed his arms.
“I’d rather you did that instead.” She smiled, so damn endearingly. “Or are you in fear of me?”
“I fear nothing.”
“You’re allowing your fear to rule you. Be honest and admit it.”
“There’s simply too much danger for us to be together.”
“You say danger, but I would say intrigue.” She covered his crossed arms with both her gloved hands. “One can’t live their life so questioningly. My dear brother, Harry, would say the same.”
“Harry thrives on danger.” Her brother served with the 18th Royal Hussars and had for several years.
“Yes, Harry loves an adventure, which I do as well.” She raised up on her toes and brushed a soft kiss across his chin, since that was as far as she could reach. “Where is your adventure, my lord?”
“It has been replaced by caution and concern.”
“Well, should you ever wish to embark on an adventure with me, do let me know.” Grinning, she moved back a step, then turned and swept down the stairwell.
“That’ll never happen,” he bit out, gripping the balustrade.
Wishing you all a wonderful week. Stay safe.
Happy Reading.
