Genre Historical Romance

Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

From grieving widow…

  1. After her merchant husband saved her from a life of prostitution, Louisa Hill was briefly happy as a housewife in Bristol. But then a constable arrives at her door. Her husband has been found hanged in a Bath hotel room, a note and a key to a property in Bath the only things she has left of him. And now the debt collectors will come calling.

To a new life as a madam.

Forced to leave everything she knows behind, Louisa finds more painful betrayals waiting for her in the house in Bath. Left with no means of income, Louisa knows she has nothing to turn to but her old way of life. But this time, she’ll do it on her own terms – by turning her home into a brothel for upper class gentleman. And she’s determined to spare the girls she saves from the street the horrors she endured in the past.

Enlisting the help of Jacob Jackson, a quiet but feared boxer, to watch over the house, Louisa is about to embark on a life she never envisaged. Can she find the courage to forge this new path?

What did you like best about writing this series?

Oh, so much! All three women in the series are strong, ambitious with big hearts and each of them were a joy to write. I very much enjoyed getting to know them and then finding their perfect heroes.

Due to their feistiness and determination, I had to find men capable of meeting them equally and also allowing them to fly – a difficult thing to do among the Victorian male population but I managed it in the end!

What other books (not in this series, have you written?)

My 29th published novel comes out in the Autumn so I’d better not list them all! I have a series of 8 books (The Templeton Cove Stories) with Harlequin and my series before the Ladies of Carson Street was the Shop Girl series. A four-book series set in Bath’s finest Edwardian department store – if you are a fan of Mr Selfrige or Downton Abbey, this series is perfect for you!
