Another wonderful novel in this Regency Romance series, edited in early October 2021.

Dignified, reserved, and every inch the gentleman, Laurence Westerby, the fifth Viscount Carteret, finds his ordered and predictable world turned on its head when a mysterious lady steps into his private parlour. He thinks her spirited, reckless, and undoubtedly in need of his protection.

Confident, frank, and used to managing her own affairs, Miss Cassandra Fenton does not like the role of damsel in distress. Laurence seems determined to help her out of her immediate difficulties, however. His chivalry reminds her of all the reasons she is so unsuited to marriage.

An unlikely friendship is forged, but will it survive the pressures of potential abductors, smugglers and a suspected murderer?

Edited in early September, this is the first in a new series of page-turners by Urcelia Teixeira.

The road to redemption is never an easy one, for it often first takes you down the very path that led you there. Such was the case with Jorja Rose.

Desperate to put the sins of her past behind her and pretend it never happened, she creates a new identity—hiding from herself, and the enemies she’d scorned. And for two decades she’s successful, putting up a facade in a small coastal town in the south of England.

Until a body is found and all the clues point to her involvement.

The murder weapon? A clear message to her that they’d found her.

Fueled by anger, shame, and a desperate need for absolution, she does what any trapped soul would do: fight back.

What ensues is a thrilling, edge of your seat story that takes you deep inside the seedy underbelly of art crime. And while the stakes mount and she’s forced to face those who will do whatever it takes to get their revenge, running from God proves to be even harder.

Can she find a way to leave her anger to God, or does she fall in the trap of vengeance’s sweet allure?

If you enjoy gripping, faith-filled suspense and dramatic endings, this first-in-series will leave you begging for more of Jorja Rose.

Inspired by Deuteronomy 32:35 – “It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them.”
