Synopsis:

A historical romance begins to blossom around Lady Ruby Waterfield, but family secrets and unpredictable suitors expose a world of supernatural creatures—ancient enemies bound by war: vampires and warlocks. 


Set in 1811 England, Ruby finally attends her first London Season at the age of eighteen. After departing from her safe, secluded childhood in the country, she quickly discovers that taking her rightful place among the aristocracy is the least of her worries after she becomes the target of a vindictive vampire. Determined to learn the truth about her family bloodlines, this clever debutante must navigate her pursuit while two gentlemen—one, her loyal best friend; the other, a mysteriously handsome stranger—grow increasingly tied to her future. From the dark alleys of Covent Garden to the lavish balls of the high society ton, clandestine agendas leave Ruby's heart exposed to a dangerous new world of mystery, magic, and love. 


Ruby is the first novel in the Tree of Blood series that takes root in exposing the origins of supernatural bloodlines. 


Ruby unites the seductive and sinister actions of the supernatural with the allure and elegance of a Regency romance. 

 

 

EXCERPTS

First Excerpt

 

The knob turned and her stomach leapt. Is it him! A sudden rush of fear overcame her. She closed her eyes and she listened. She heard the door open, and footfalls stopped beside her bed. She waited, but not a word was spoken. She continued to pretend she was asleep while whoever was in the room stood above her.

She did not know how much longer she could bear it, not seeing who was there. Relief passed through her body when she heard the figure step away from the bed. Soon I will be alone again. She waited for the door to shut, but the sound did not come. The person was still there.

She heard a deep laugh, but she did not dare look. Then she heard the voice. It was deep and amused. “You hide your thoughts well, but it is silly for you to pretend you’re asleep. No one will harm you.”

She opened her eyes to find a strange man above her.

“Ahh,” he sighed. “Your eyes are the color of jade. I imagined them to be dark, like your hair. How strange.”

She continued to stare at him without a word. His figure loomed over her, and he stared at her with large, black eyes, like those of a bird, she thought. His thin, black hair fell past his chin, making him appear delicate, almost beautiful. His lips curved to a smile.

“I find you just as beautiful, my dear,” he said.

His statement shocked her; it was as if he’d read her thoughts.

“Yes, I know what you think presently, but….” He paused for a moment. “Not all of them. You keep something hidden from me. Hmm, how strange. Very well. It seems you are more interesting than I first thought.”

“What is it that you want?” she spat out.

“Oh, please do not start with that nonsense,” he chided. “My plans are not for you to know. However, I will assure you that now I have seen you, I plan to keep you, at least for a while.”

 

Second Excerpt:

 

Ruby studied the man’s attire. His black coat was soaked. He must have been caught in the wind and rain, she noted. The clothing was basic, nothing impressive. He is impressive, though, she thought. His disheveled appearance could not hide his attractive qualities. And at first sight she could have sworn she’d come upon a character from one of her books—the gallant prince turned pirate. Perhaps it was his tall, strong form and unshaven face that gave him such a roguish appearance. It also wasn’t hard to look into his blue eyes, which peered out from beneath his lengthy wet mop of black hair.

His deep voice interrupted her thoughts. “Do you usually keep your visitors waiting?”

“Not the visitors I have been expecting,” she remarked with a smile.

“It seems that you’ve tortured me long enough,” he said with a wink.

“I think the rain has done more than I,” she mocked, motioning toward his apparel.

He remembered his appearance and ran a hand through his damp hair. He felt nervous and didn’t understand why. “Please excuse my appearance,” he apologized.
