When friendship turns to desire, only love can make them whole…
Gideon Bray, Marquess of Swanleigh, has always been a rake—a reckless, charming scoundrel never meant for happily-ever-afters. Yet, behind his careless smile lies a man scarred by neglect, and desperate for the family he was denied. Only one woman has ever seen past the mask: Caroline Wells, his dearest friend and the lone female in his notorious circle of comrades.
Cast out by both her family and Society after a youthful scandal, Caroline long ago learned to live by her own rules. Gideon stood by her, offering his loyalty when the rest of the world turned its back. But when one night of unbridled passion shatters this boundary between them, Gideon shocks them both with an offer of marriage, though neither of them knows quite how to transform years of friendship into the intimacy of husband and wife.
As they navigate a marriage of fiery attraction, Gideon locates Oliver, the half-brother he’s sought for decades. At last, the dream of family feels within his reach. But shadows cling to Oliver’s past…and enemies soon strike at the women the brothers cherish most.

Spy Society
Book 1 - Courting the Duchess
Book 2 - Seducing the Spy
Book 3 - Bedding the Marquess
Author, wife, mother, animal-lover, and owner of an obscene amount of books. Kelsey is an Illinois native but spent some time in North Carolina while in college. She fostered her love of reading and writing after a heart condition sidelined her childhood. Her passions continued to develop long after surgery restored her health. To this day it's difficult to find her without a book in her hand. She dove headfirst into the romance genre (perhaps) a bit earlier than the recommended minimum age and became rather adept at disguising her reading material. Once exposed to the glittering world of historical romance, she was forever changed. Her love of writing and all things British translated into her future collegiate studies in both English (with an emphasis on Brit Lit) and History (mainly British and European). She would go on to earn Bachelor's Degrees in both English and History, as well as a Master's Degree in English. She finished penning her first novel fresh out of high school and has never looked back. After a few more years, she was inspired to write The Baron's Folly -- her first publication. When she's not writing or reading, Kelsey is usually watching reruns of her favorite shows ("Schitt's Creek", "The Office", "The Middle", "The Good Place", "Parks and Rec", "New Girl", etc.), or streaming just about any true crime show on Netflix; obsessively collecting architectural designs, crafts, and recipes on Pinterest; or sketching, crocheting, cooking, and spending time with her family. She is a diehard supporter of the Oxford Comma (in case you couldn't tell) and is glued to the TV whenever le Tour de France is on.
The third book in my "Spy Society" series, Bedding the Marquess is finally available! My second series with Dragonblade Publishing, "Reformed Rakes", is coming in 2026, and my newest release (Bedding the Marquess) acts as a bridge between the two series. I am so excited about all of these new stories and cannot wait to share them with you. Check out my profile on my publisher's website for additional information.
So much time and love have gone into the development of this site, but there are still a few bugs we're working through. (We sincerely appreciate your grace and patience as we do so!) The biggest issue right now is offering Klarna as a payment option. While we're fully approved with Klarna, the integration of the platform into the site is giving us issues. For now, we're pleased to offer PayPal as a tried and true payment platform on this site and hope to offer Klarna in the near future!

These are packages with one of Kelsey's books and a bunch of curated bookish goodies (stickers, bookmarks, pens, highlighters, sticky notes, notebooks, etc.).
