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. (If you want to be notified of these early releases on my store, then please click HERE and you’ll get the early-bird notification.)
Have a safe and wonderful week.
Happy Reading.

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.

Goldie must embrace a new world, new rules, and a defiant protector she secretly wants. Continue the journey with the Princesses of Myth in this adventurous novel from New York Times Bestselling Author Joanne Wadsworth.
To love and protect…across worlds.
The two warring nations on planet Magio have now been united under a leading team of eight—four warriors from Dralion and four protectors from Peacio—a team who must now work together to bring their divided nations back together as one.
Goldie Wincrest is a princess of Dralion, cursed with a skill she’s never disclosed to another, an ability outlawed from their world centuries ago. She is a Chaser, one who must fight the deadly pull of her assassin ability, only she can no longer trust either herself or her fragmented thoughts any longer. There is only one pathway open to her, to choose her Destroyer and to give him the power he needs to see to her death should she go completely Dark.
Sorrell Sona is a fierce protector, a fighter of unparalleled strength, and when Goldie shares the knowledge of her outlawed ability with him, he is left in a terrible position. He must choose whether he can be her Destroyer should she become one of the Dark, or instead take a chance on seeking to be her savior.
Can he slay a princess of their world should she turn, or is he in too deep with her?

The Princesses of Myth series will always be incredibly special to me. This is the first ever series which I dreamed up in 2009–with a huge cast and draft copies of four books written that year–drafts which would eventually become the foundation for this series. From those drafts, I rewrote the first book, PROTECTOR, then managed to secure my first ever publishing contract. This series is in fact the one that launched my writing career, to what it has become today. I met my amazing editors through this series, as well as authors from the same publishing house who I now consider awesome friends, but best of all, I’ve met all of you, my wonderful readers, who’ve embraced all my stories and come with me on this magical journey I’ve embarked on. I couldn’t have done this without you. Your wonderful reviews and messages, I take straight into my heart. You’ve asked me for more books in the Princesses of Myth series, and I’m right there with you. More books are coming after CHASER. If you’d like to, check out the end of the post for the cover to the next book in this series, PIRATE PRINCESS.
Here’s an exclusive excerpt below for a taste of what’s to come in CHASER.
EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
I thudded down on a crunchy matting of fallen leaves and pine nettles and almost lost my balance as Sorrell released me. I wobbled at the edge of a sheer cliff where it fell away with rolling forested hills spread out far into the distance. A thick layer of gray cloud swept across the sky, from horizon to horizon.
A storm brewed, and not just within nature, but within the man at my back too.
I righted myself and went to turn around, only I changed my mind.
I stayed exactly where I was.
“You’re giving me your back, Princess. You do realize that, right?” His deep voice floated over me as he loomed from behind, his intoxicating aroma as well.
“That’s because I already trust you.” I would be prickling with unease otherwise.
“Like hell you do.” A snort, his disbelief clear to hear.
“Honestly, I do.” The tips of my boots rode the fine edge of the cliff where the odd leaf whisked away in the breeze and fluttered over the steep side. Slowly, I turned around and faced him, my gaze directly on his. “Do you want to know how and why?”
“Sure, explain yourself, because right now I’m incredibly tempted to toss you over this cliff.”
“I have a very new and extremely aggravating skill.” I dipped my head, closed my eyes and braced myself for the truth I now needed to speak. “One day soon,” I continued as I lifted my gaze back to his, “I will need you to see to my death.”
“Well, today works for me.” Seizing my arms, he tipped me back until I leaned right over the edge of the ledge at a rather precarious angle, my blond hair fluttering and my sword swaying back heavily on my hip.
I didn’t fight his move though, one which showed his clear dominance, which was exactly what had brought me to him in the first place. “You speak my kind of language, Sorrell.”
PIRATE PRINCESS
COMING NEXT IN THIS SERIES – COVER REVEAL!
Amarisa Sol is a princess of the Eastern Isles of Magio, a privateer who is determined to uncover all the riches of her world, and all while discovering if there is truth behind the supposed end of the war between the countries of Peacio and Dralion.
Wishing you all a wonderful week. Stay safe.

The Duke’s Bride, Regency Brides #1

Paperback: Amazon | B&N
A fiercely loyal lady, along with her brooding duke come head-to-head in a battle of wills! An unforgettable regency romance from New York Times Bestselling Author Joanne Wadsworth.
He must steal a lady…then steal her love.
Desiring a man and never being noticed as more than his best friend’s little sister has Lady Ellie Trentbury finally consigning herself to the truth. She must move on, and preferably with a man who lives far away from her home in London where she need never be reminded of the duke who stole her heart. An elopement with an honorable American shipping merchant sounds perfect.
The Duke of Ashten has no choice but to bound into his best friend’s carriage when he discovers little Ellie is inside and intent on eloping with a man to Gretna Green who she barely knows. He can’t allow her to make such a terrible mistake, yet convincing her might mean giving into his desire for the golden-eyed enchantress who has followed him around since he was a lad.
Her pouty lips and bountiful charms can no longer be ignored, only convincing her of the truth of his intentions will mean jeopardizing both his sanity and a lifelong friendship as well.
Hi everyone, The Duke’s Bride is here! The writing of this book took me on a whirlwind of adventure, and I can’t wait for you to meet Ellie and Ashten. They’ve known each other since their childhood, and now it’s time for them to admit their love for each other. I’m going to drop a tasty excerpt below.
EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
Ellie had always wished for such a moment as this, and since this might be the only opportunity she ever had with Ashten, she placed her gloved hand in his and showed her ready acceptance with her actions.
“You are far too trusting.”
“You would never hurt me.”
“Let’s hope not.” Gently, he turned her hand over and finger by finger, tugged on the soft silk until he’d removed her glove then done, dropped it onto the bench beside him and brought her palm to his mouth. With one warm and incredibly soft kiss against her skin, the midnight blue of his eyes twinkling bright, he asked, “Are you ready?”
“Is there anything I need to do during this disrespectful kiss?”
“No, not a thing.” As the opening notes of a waltz floated toward them, he rose and drew her to her feet, then slowly, carefully, he pulled her into his arms.
“I can’t believe we’re about to dance.”
“And kiss.”
“Yes, that too.” She placed her gloved hand on his shoulder, her ungloved hand still held firm in his. Never had she ever danced this close to a gentleman before. Six inches was the required etiquette, and there was less than three inches between them right now. “You look dashing, as if you’ve dressed for this ball tonight, then chose to remain indoors.”
“Since we’re being honest, I was extremely tempted to come.” He swept her around the inner circle of his gazebo, his hand firm on her waist and his limp barely noticeable. “Did you have to dance”—he cleared his gruff throat—“with quite so many men tonight?”
“Yes, but I much prefer dancing here with you right now.” Her legs wobbled. Was Ashten truly going to kiss her? Perhaps he was simply testing her, to see if she really did have a suitor she intended on eloping with. If he was, then she’d have to take great care.
“There’s an allure to a disrespectful kiss. Do you want to know what it is?” He leaned in closer, his breath whispering across her lips.
“Tell me.” She sucked in a breath, her heartbeat thundering in her ears.
“It’s called the danger that awaits with the conclusion of that kiss. Does one simply stop, or does one continue with a second disrespectful kiss?”
Wishing you all a wonderful week. Stay safe.
Happy Reading.
