Cover Sneak Peek for The Noble Guardian

A trip across Regency England with a cynical law man and a proper lady…what could go wrong?

All summer long I've been typing my fingers to little nubs, finishing up the 3rd and final book in the Bow Street Runners series. First was Brentwood's Ward, a tale about an officer who hires on to protect a spoiled, rich woman left on her own when her father leaves the country.

Then came The Innkeeper's Daughter, which tells the story of another officer who is assigned to go undercover as a gambler to root out a traitor during the height of Napoleon's threat.

Last, but not least, The Noble Guardian features yet one more Bow Street officer who is the captain of the horse patrol, keeping the roads safe from highwaymen. Here's a blurb:

Life couldn’t be better for Abigail Gilbert—but it’s been a long time in coming. Having lived with a family who hated her, it’s finally her time for love. Abby sets off on a journey across England to marry one of the most prestigious gentlemen in the land—until highwaymen upset her plans and threaten her life.

Horse patrol captain Daniel Thatcher arrives just in time to save Abby. But she’s simply another victim in a job he’s come to despise. Tired of the dark side of humanity, he intends to buy land and retire.

Abby pleads with him to escort her for the rest of her journey. He refuses—until she offers him something he desperately needs to achieve his goal . . . money. Delivering her safely will give him more than enough to buy property.

So begins an impossible trek for the cynical lawman and the proper lady. Each will be indelibly changed by the time they reach her betrothed, if they don’t kill one another first—or fall in love.

And now without further pomp and circumstance, here is what you've all been patiently waiting for…a sneak peek at the cover:

What do you think? Honestly, it's one of my favorite covers. It totally captures the story. But don't rush out to the bookstore quite yet. This little beauty isn't due out until next June. I just wanted to give you awesome readers a sneak peek.
