The Trouble With Love by Beth Ciotta   Teaser: Rocky turned just as Jayce moved into the small room, filling the space with a palatable intensity. As always her heart fluttered and pounded at the sight of him. Tall, lean, and mean. Physically perfect in her book. He wore his dark golden hair longer these days and had grown a devilishly sexy goatee. Bad-boy to the bone, he was dressed in neck-to-toe black. Baggy pullover shirt, cargo pants, a wool Pea Coat hanging open, and a pair of rubber soled boots. He looked to-die-for handsome. He looked . . . angry. “You said it was nothing.” She realized his gaze was fixed on her shirt—stained with copious amounts of mostly dried blood. “It looks worse than it is.” She gestured to her forehead, feigned nonchalance. “Just a tiny cut, but it bled like a mother. It’s not that bad. Didn’t even need real stitches. Just this butterfly strip.” Jayce dragged a hand down his face. “What else?” Her body trembled when he moved in for...

The heroine of my latest book, Embracing Scandal, is racing around London trying to collect documented proof of the illegal activities of some of her peers so her friends at Scotland Yard will be able to arrest them for stock market fraud. But, as you can imagine, accusing members of the beau monde - upper class society - has put Lady Rebecca Jamison, along with her five scientifically-gifted siblings, in grave danger. People with intellect and skill, like Becca, are investing in the towns and counties where new railway tracks are being laid, and in the factories producing machinery and steel products.
