Two Spies. One Narrow Escape.

Michael went to his rescuer, whose face had turned deathly white in pain. “Sep, I’m going to help you up.” Septimus Ackett, son of Viscount Ammler, managed a weak nod and a shallow inhale of air. Michael slung his arm over his shoulder and gingerly raised him up, guiding them to a pew so they could both collapse in pain. Every single part of his body, including his pinkie toe, throbbed with agony. “You couldn’t have arrived a few minutes sooner?” “Ungrateful wretch,” Sep wheezed. —from Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 1: Archer Read the first few chapters free online.

“Your Move, Mr. Coulton-Jones.”

Phoebe smiled smugly at Mr. Coulton-Jones, as if to say, I have done my part. What will you do now, I wonder? A twinkle appeared in Mr. Coulton-Jones’s eyes as he took up her unspoken challenge. —from Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 1: Archer View the short reel on Patreon.

Inside the Special Edition Hardcover of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 1: Archer

She Met Him Again by Shooting Him Worst. Meet-cute. Ever. When Miss Phoebe Sauber misfires an arrow at an archery tournament, it pierces a sheet of paper held by a former spy—revealing a symbol tied to murder, betrayal, and a secret society plotting against England. That moment begins Lady Wynwood’s Spies, a Christian Regency romantic suspense series set in 1811 London where aristocrats hide secrets and faith is tested against powerful adversaries. Because this first volume launches a 12-book saga of espionage and redemption, I created a Special Edition hardcover worthy of the story’s beginning. A Collector Edition Designed Around the Story If you’ve seen the regular paperback of Volume 1: Archer , you’ve already met Phoebe, who is steady, unflinching, and capable of beating up two-bit thugs before breakfast. If you’re curious about how I created Phoebe—and the inspiration behind her strength—you can read the story behind her character here . For the Special Edition hardcove...

Drawn to the Flame

She had always thought moths were very stupid, to be tantalized by the flames that killed them. But Mr. Coulton-Jones was a flame that burned brighter than anything in her normal, calculated, predictable life—or even in her newly upended, frustrating, pitiful life—and she couldn’t stop herself from wanting to be near him, yearning for a few words with him. —from Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 1: Archer Read about Phoebe’s first meeting with Michael free online.

That First Dance

He wanted to tell her so many things—how the touch of her hand at their first dance had caused a jolt through his arm, how her wildflower scent made him feel as though he were lying in a field with sunlight warming him down to his bones. —from Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 1: Archer View the short video of their dance on Patreon. Read about Phoebe’s first meeting with Michael in the series in the first three chapters of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 1: Archer .

A Friendly Competition

“I was hoping, Miss Sauber, that you would be willing to engage in a friendly competition today? I feel I did not shoot my best at our last tournament.” She was exceedingly prepared to wipe that condescending smile off of his face. “I assure you, Mr. Vernon, the outcome will remain the same.” —from Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 1: Archer Read the full chapter of the archery tournament free online.

Can a Regency Spy Fall for the Spinster Who Skewered Him?

Every story has a beginning. This one did not go according to plan. 🫖 Worst. Meet-cute. Ever. The Lady Wynwood’s Spies series starts with Volume 1: Archer , the first installment in— “Yes, Miss Sauber?” I ask. Miss Phoebe Sauber, a character in the series, glares at me. It wouldn’t be quite so bad if she weren’t holding a bow and a wickedly sharp arrow. “Don’t ‘Miss Sauber’ me! You made me misfire an arrow!” “Um … well, it’s called a meet-cute …” “I don’t care what it’s called! I have never fired an arrow at a person in my entire life! And you made me shoot an arrow at Mr. Coulton-Jones, of all people! The one man in all of London who is even remotely tolerable as a dance partner!” “Now you’re exaggerating. Mr. Collingworth wasn’t that bad …” “All he talked about was his hunting dogs. And he has terrible taste in names for those poor creatures!” I can’t really argue with her. I tried to convince him that Lickspittle Furrybottom was not dignified enough of a name for his pr...

She insulted a hat 👒 and ruined her Season

Welcome! My name is Camille Elliot, and I write Christian Regency Suspense with slow-burn romance and a touch of the supernatural. Thank you for— “Cut!” Lissa, one of my characters, shouts and stomps onto the stage. I stare at her. “I’m not filming a commercial.” “It doesn’t matter. You’re being boring.” I shift uncomfortably, because she’s probably right. “Well then, what should I say? I’m writing a blog post for someone who doesn’t know anything about my books.” “If you start with pleasantries, I will hide your tea,” she threatens. “ All of it.” I gasp in horror. “You wouldn’t!” “Try me!” “I was just going to ask readers to subscribe to my newsletter.” “I shall topple into the shrubbery as I fall dead asleep on my feet.” “Rude,” I mutter. “Maybe start with an explosion. Or at least a hideous hat that ruins my reputation forever.” “Your reputation wasn’t ruined,” I protest. “You were simply unfortunately overheard.” “As I insulted a hat.” “Then maybe you shouldn’t insu...

Here’s the short excerpt from the book that mentions the shawl: 📖 Excerpt from Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 7: Spinster Lena still felt a chill as she sat in the sunlight streaming through the window of the Viponds’ drawing room. She was swathed in her favorite lace shawl, a gift from Melinda, who had knit it in Lena’s favorite color, red, along with cream and pink stripes. Tabitha finished pouring the tea and handed her a cup. Lena tried to smile as she took it, but her face felt stiff, like hardened clay. She was an utter failure. Despite all her training as an agent, she’d been undone by a malicious woman and a locked balcony in the rain. Had she given up too quickly? She’d been deterred by the railing, believing it would have broken under her weight. She had also been shivering t...
