The Duke's Shield

In case we have not met yet, here is a little bit about me:I write Historical & Contemporary Romance featuring: Hardheaded Heroes & Feisty Heroines.I fell in love at first sight, when I was seventeen, with the man who will hold my heart forever. DJ and I were married for 41 wonderful years until my darling lost his battle with cancer. We have three grown children-one son-in-law, two grandsons, two rescue dogs, and two rescue grand-cats.My Hardheaded Heroes and Feisty Heroines rarely listen to me. In fact, I think they enjoy messing with my plans for them. BUT if there is one thing I've learned in dealing with my characters for the past 28 years, it is to listen them! My heroes always have a few of DJ's best qualities: his honesty, his integrity, his compassion for those in need, and his killer broad shoulders.I have always used family names in my books and love adding bits and pieces of my ancestors and ancestry in them, too. I write about the things I love most: My Family, my Irish and English Ancestry, Baking and Gardening.Happy reading!
