The Unconventional Victorians is a series of interconnected historical romances set in the changing world of 1880s Victorian England. Each novel follows characters who live beyond the expectations of their society—artists, reformers, physicians, photographers, investigators, and aristocrats—who discover that love often asks them to become more fully themselves rather than less.

Blending richly researched history with romance, mystery, political intrigue, and enduring friendships, these stories celebrate courage, compassion, and the extraordinary lives of people who never quite fit the roles the world assigned them.

Many historical romances are built around external barriers: class, scandal, inheritance, reputation. My books certainly include those, but they consistently revolve around a deeper question: Can someone be fully seen, fully known, and fully loved?

That question lies at the heart of every story in The Unconventional Victorians.

Each novel can be enjoyed on its own, but together they weave a larger tapestry of family, friendship, and lives forever changed by love.

It all begins with The Earl’s Undoing…

The Earl’s Undoing - Book One

Duty has always defined Bennet Lancaster, the Earl of Blackmore. Practical, principled, and deeply committed to improving the lives of those around him, he has little patience for distractions—especially love.

Dr. Katherine Stuart has plans of her own. Determined to become one of England’s first female physicians, she refuses to let society’s expectations—or an infuriatingly honorable earl—stand in her way.

As political reform, family obligations, and unexpected danger draw them together, Bennet and Kate discover that the greatest challenge is not choosing between love and purpose… but believing they can honor both.

The Earl’s Undoing introduces readers to the Lancaster, Wentworth, and Grey families, whose lives become increasingly intertwined throughout the series. It is a story of quiet courage, steadfast love, and two people who discover that sometimes the life you never planned becomes the one you were always meant to live.

The Duke Reborn - Book Two

Some wounds cannot be seen.

Readers first meet Simon Wentworth, the Duke of Somerset, in The Earl’s Undoing—a man admired by society for his charm, title, and effortless confidence. Yet behind the polished smile lies a lifetime of hidden pain and a secret he has guarded since childhood.

When Lady Elizabeth Grey enters his life, she sees far more than the celebrated duke the world expects him to be. She sees the man beneath the title—the one convinced he is too broken to be loved completely.

As Simon and Elizabeth confront old fears, impossible expectations, and dangerous enemies, they discover that true healing begins not by hiding who we are… but by allowing ourselves to be fully seen.

The Duke Reborn continues the unfolding story of the families introduced in Book One while deepening the mystery, romance, and friendships that carry through the series.
