NEW RELEASE...Now Available on Amazon

It's official.  My first book of my new historical romance trilogy is now available.

The Demimonde Trilogy will follow three women with very different relationships to the red light district of Butte, Montana in 1910.  At this time, a number of monumental historical events were taking place in this very town.  The Bureau of Investigations (later the FBI) was founded just a few years earlier and they were put in charge of investigating allegations of human trafficking in the brothels.  With the huge success of the copper mines also came some early formations of unions fighting for the rights of miners in Butte and Anaconda.  And as the influence of both the groups of Copper Kings and madams grew, corruption in the town inspired the Progressive Movement, led by the Women's Christian Temperance Union, among others.  War ensued between the BOI and the parlor houses, the unions and the copper companies, and the righteous and the "fallen women" of the town.

All of these events shaped the future of not only Montana, but also the entire nation.  It is a time and place that captured my attention over a year ago, and I've been ecstatic about writing this series ever since.

DAUGHTER OF THE DEMIMONDE features Cathleen Ainsley, the daughter of the (fictionally) infamous Nora Ainsley, parlor house madam extraordinaire.  Cat is perfectly aware of the sacrifices her widowed mother made to raise her, and she would do anything for her...even if it means going against the Bureau of Investigations.  Agent Kane Malone has come to town to investigate allegations of human trafficking, and he won't leave without his madam.  To prove her mother's innocence, Cat agrees to help the agent identify the woman responsible for entrapping young girls and forcing them into a life of prostitution.  But she may end up sacrificing her own innocence to prove her mother's.
