School for Heiresses
After heiress Charlotte runs off to marry a dashing soldier named Jimmy Harris, who runs through her entire inheritance before having the good sense to get himself killed in a duel, she vows to keep other young women from making her mistake. So, with the help of a mysterious and anonymous benefactor whom she knows only as Cousin Michael, she establishes Mrs. Harris's School for Young Ladies that caters to…you guessed it…heiresses! Not blatantly, of course. That would be gauche. But her private Lessons for Heiresses are still quite informative, and before long wealthy parents are scrambling to have their daughters admitted to what the gossips deem "Mrs. Harris's School for Heiresses." The only trouble is, they probably wouldn't approve of everything their daughters are learning!
The first Heiresses book, Never Seduce a Scoundrel, came out in March 2006, about an earl's daughter who tangles with an American major bent on justice. The second book, Only a Duke Will Do, is linked to the Royal Brotherhood Series, since it's about heiress Louisa North (who gives lessons on court behavior at the school) and her longtime nemesis from To Pleasure a Prince, Simon, the Duke of Foxmoor. It was released in September 2006. In January 2007 came the School for Heiresses anthology, including stories by not only Sabrina, but the incomparable Julia London and Liz Carlyle, as well as newcomer Renee Bernard. Sabrina's story concerned Simon's cousin, Colin Hunt, and one of the heiresses from the school, Eliza Crenshawe (the girl who keeps cussing in Only a Duke Will Do).
Beware a Scot's Revenge, the book for Lady Venetia Campbell and the "Scottish Scourge" (real name: Lachlan Ross), came out in June 2007. Lachlan first appeared in Never Seduce a Scoundrel as the highwayman who kidnaps Amelia and Major Lucas as revenge against Lady Venetia's father. But you don't have to have read the first book to understand this one.
Next up is Let Sleeping Rogues Lie, about Anthony Dalton, the Viscount Norcourt. He grudgingly agrees to teach a few rake lessons at the school under the "supervision" of Miss Madeline Prescott, math and science teacher extraordinaire, who is way too pretty for a schoolteacher. Little does he know that Madeline secretly needs his help…or that helping her is liable to put an end to his rakehell existence once and for all. Let Sleeping Rogues Lie is coming out February 19, 2008.
On October 28, 2008, comes Snowy Night with a Stranger, a Christmas-themed anthology with stories by Jane Feather, Julia London, and me. The heroine of my story is Elinor Bancroft from Let Sleeping Rogues Lie.
Then, in July 2009, will come the fifth novel of the series, about Lucy Seton from Let Sleeping Rogues Lie. It will be followed by Charlotte and Cousin Michael's romance in August 2009. No titles for these yet, but all will be revealed in that final book, so keep an eye out for both books in the summer of 2009!
Book 1: Never Seduce a Scoundrel
Lady Amelia Plume has many admirers; too bad they’re all fortune hunters and fops who can’t provide the exotic adventures she seeks.

Lucas came to London to find the cad who embezzled money from a naval contractor. The captivating Lady Amelia could be the key to his quest, but what started as simple flirtation has become a delicious dance of seduction.

Book 4: Let Sleeping Rogues Lie
When Madeline Prescott took a teaching position at Mrs. Harris’s School for Young Ladies, it was to help restore her father’s reputation. Instead, she’s in danger of ruining her own. The devilishly handsome Anthony Dalton, Viscount Norcourt, has agreed to provide “rake lessons” to Mrs. Harris’s pupils so they can learn how to avoid unscrupulous gentlemen, and Madeline is to oversee his classes. She has always believed that attraction is a scientific matter, easily classified and controlled—until she’s swept into the passionate desire that fiercely burns between her and Anthony. Nothing could be more illogical than risking everything for a dalliance with a rake—even one who’s trying to behave himself. Yet nothing could be more tempting…
