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.

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.

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.
