Excerpt, LORD RAMSEY'S RED HEADED RUIN, Cerise Deland. 2024, All rights reserved.

    “It’s dangerous to stay here,” she complained, seeing his anger.
     Ramsey whirled on her, an arm out, anger in every growl. “Oui, madame! Dangerous! Because I can’t leave. Because you won’t go. Because the night is long and my temper short. Because I am a man who needs to go swimming in the river, and you”—he poked a finger at her—“cannot follow.”
   She looked as if he’d struck her. “I… But… It’s night. Not safe.”
   He spun away and back again, so quickly that she teetered on her feet.
   He caught her arms and held her against him. Every sensuous muscle in her supple body rubbed against his. Damn his chivalry! 
   “This is not safe. This!” He crushed her against him. “And this!” He jammed one hand up into the thick curls of her hair. “And this,” he whispered against her lush lips, brushing them with the most innocent kiss and prying them open to explore all of her with his tongue.

Today's bon bon: A glimpse of how French carriages and roads improved in the 18th century and made travel livable!

My photo of 18th century Chaises a Mules taken at Carriage House in Vaux le Vicomte!

🍒Traveling along rough unpaved roads, carriages of old—no matter their silken splendour inside—could hardly offer comfort, speed or healthy conditions.

During the 18th century, many improvements to coaches improved the chances of a person living long enough to tell the tale of having been there and done that!

One fine video to show the changes in carriage construction is this one offered by the Palais de Versailles. Do watch it. Only six minutes long, you will enjoy the discussion, the English translations and learn much from the explanantions of improvements to coaches and to roads.

NEW VIDEO! Like vids to learn about new books, new authors? Try this one for my series THOSE NOTORIOUS AMERICANS!

   THIS MARVELOUS VIDEO has been in the works for a long time! Promoting all the novels in my family saga of the Gilded Age, this video is a wonderful composition of concept, covers, stills and video clips.
   Where did they come from?

• I wrote the script.
• I purchased the video clips from wonderful PERIOD IMAGES!
• I bought the stills from a stock art company.
• And sent them all to my producer!

   I hope you will now want to read all the books in this series! Available on Amazon, KOBO, NOOK and iTunes, this series begins with the first generation of robber baron Killian Hanniford's family.
   Each story is different, each incorporates historical detail pertinent to the romances. The theme—money can buy anything—works in all the plots but in different ways.
   WILD LILY stars Killian's oldest daughter who sails to Europe with him for the fun of it, definitely not for a husband.
   DARING WIDOW features Killian's niece. A widow who wishes never to tie herself to any man, Marianne is a talented artist. When she meets a famous sculptor (think Rodin!), she is tempted to love him and leave him. But can she?
   SWEET SIREN features Killian himself. Older than your average romance hero, he is nonetheless a charming character. Too bad he cannot seem to charm one woman who enchants him anyway!
   SCANDALOUS HEIRESS stars Killian's youngest daughter. Ada finds herself in love with a widower who needs no wife and no complications in his life. When he falls in love with her anyway, he must choose to save her...or himself. Can he find happiness? And can she love a man whom she ruins?
   RAVISHING CAMILLE, to come out this winter, is the last of the first generation to find happiness. She's a wild child, forever in love with one man who tells himself he needs no entanglements to any woman, least of all to the one who has enchanted him for years.
