While the Duke Was Sleeping
Rogue Files, book 1
Publisher: HarperCollins
Release date: October 25, 2016
Duration: 07:54:45

Sometimes the man of your dreams . . .

Shop girl Poppy Fairchurch knows it’s pointless fantasizing about the Duke of Autenberry. Still, dreams can’t hurt anyone . . . unlike the carriage Poppy spies bearing down upon the unsuspecting duke. After she pulls him to safety, the duke lapses into a coma and Poppy is mistaken for his fiancée. But one person isn’t fooled: his arrogant and much too handsome half-brother, Struan Mackenzie. Soon Poppy isn’t sure what she wants more . . . the fantasy of her duke or the reality of one smoldering Scot who challenges her at every turn.

. . . is not who you think.

An illegitimate second son, Struan may have built an empire and established himself as one of the wealthiest men in Britain, but he knows he will always be an outsider among the ton. Just like he knows the infuriating Poppy is a liar. There’s no way the haughty Duke of Autenberry would deign to wed a working class girl. It doesn’t matter how charming she is. Or tempting. Or how much Struan wants her for himself.

Narrator Carmen Rose captures heroine Poppy Fairchurch’s vulnerability and hero Struan Mackenzie’s no-nonsense temperament and virility in this historical romance…Rose moves smoothly from character to character–from Poppy’s petulant younger sister to Struan’s upper-class stepmother–giving dimension to all the supporting characters. In Rose’s capable voice, the story, set in London and at the Duke’s country home at Christmastime, is a satisfying romp. S.H. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award � AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine

The Scandal of It All
The Rogue Files Series, Book 2
Publisher: HarperCollins
Release date: July 25, 2017
Duration: 07:47:00

It takes two to make a scandal…

What kind of woman ventures into London’s most notorious pleasure club? An outsider like Graciela the Duchess of Autenberry, snubbed time and time again by society because of her Spanish roots. Ela longs to take a lover for a single, wild night, and within the walls of Sodom there are gentlemen to suit every forbidden taste. If only she were not so drawn to the smoldering Lord Strickland…a dangerous man who sees beyond her mask, and could ruin her reputation with a mere whisper.

Lord Strickland never permitted himself to fantasize about the sultry, off-limits lady, but then he never expected to find Ela in a place so wicked, looking for what he’s more than too happy to give. She may not be to the ton’s taste, but she suits him perfectly. First, however, he must convince her to trust in this dangerous desire—and in the promise of forever unleashed by one wild, scandalous night.

Carmen Rose’s haughty narration is perfect for her portrayals of members of the British Regency period high society. When Graciela, a lonely duke’s widow, ventures for the first time into Sodom, an infamous London pleasure palace, she encounters her stepson’s best friend, the handsome, dangerous, and younger Lord Colin Strickland. A fiery attraction is ignited. Can Colin overcome Graciela’s insecurities, caused by her cruel late husband, and find everlasting love? Can he overcome his family’s objections and build the family he has always longed for? Rose excels in portraying Graciela, giving her a hint of a Spanish accent and adding the right amount of reluctance, shyness, and occasional bursts of temper and determination.
