Pirate Romance on the high seas! Wind Raven....coming in March!
“A salty, sweeping, evocative tale of romance on the high seas—and a good old-fashioned love story that will keep you up far, far past your bedtime. So, reach for the coffee. Brava for Regan Walker!"
-- Danelle Harmon
New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author
“Wind Raven is grand romance of the sea with much insight into piracy in the early 19th century and the tropical lifestyle of the island of Bermuda under British rule. The scenes of both everyday life and storms on a ship at sea were well done, very real."
--Jennifer Blake
New York Times Bestselling Author
Ordered by the Prince Regent into the Caribbean, English sea captain and former privateer Jean Nicholas Powell has no time for women onboard the Wind Raven, especially not Tara McConnell. The impudent American forced herself aboard, and so she’ll get more than she bargained for: Instead of a direct sail to Baltimore, she’ll join their quest to investigate a rampaging pirate, the infamous Roberto Cofresi.
But the hoyden thinks she can crew with his men, and though he bans her from the rigging, Nick is captivated watching her lithe, luscious movements on deck. Facing high seas, storms, cutthroats and the endless unknown, he must protect his ship, his passenger, his crew. But on this voyage, with this woman, there is a greater danger: to his heart.

The order of things...
Readers have asked me in what order should they read my novels and stories. They are all related, and while they can be read as “stand alones,” this is the order I recommend if, like me, you like to read in order:
Racing With The Wind (London and Paris 1816), book 1 in the Agents of the Crown
Against the Wind (London & the Midlands of England, Spring/Summer 1817), book 2 in the Agents of the Crown
The Shamrock & The Rose (London, February 1818), short story (Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day short story)
The Twelfth Night Wager (London and environs, fall 1818 through Twelfth Night, 1819), novella
The Holly & The Thistle (London, December 1818), Christmas short story
Wind Raven (a pirate Regency set in London, the Atlantic on a schooner, Bermuda, the Caribbean and Baltimore, Spring/Summer 1817), book 3 in the Agents of the Crown
To Tame the Wind (Paris and London and the waters between 1783), the prequel to the Agents of the Crown trilogy (coming in 2015). It's the story of Simon Powell, an English privateer, and Claire Donet, the daughter of a French pirate of noble birth--the parents of brothers Sir Martin and Captain Nicholas Powell, heroes in books 2 and 3 in the Agents of the Crown trilogy.
I suggest you read Wind Raven after the short stories and the novella, even though it takes place in 1817, because with the exception of the beginning, it does not take place in London, and with the exception of a few characters from Against the Wind, it features a new cast of characters. The short stories and my new Christmas novella, on the other hand, were written knowing many readers would have read Racing With The Wind and some of the characters are related, including Lord and Lady Ormond, the hero and heroine of Racing With The Wind, and Muriel, the Dowager Countess of Claremont, introduced in Against the Wind. Muriel is the main secondary character in my two short stories and a character in my novella.
And for something entirely different, watch for The Red Wolf's Prize, my medieval romance set in England in 1068! The short description: When William the Conqueror awards her lands and her body to a fierce Norman knight, a determined English maiden disguises herself as a servant while plotting to one day reclaim all she has lost. Coming in late 2014.
