    Hi There!

    I'm Louise. I write steamy historical novels that blur the lines between romance and historical fiction.

    I believe in the transportive power of love, and I'm fascinated by the connection between the past and the present - how threads that were spun hundreds of years ago are still woven into the fabric of our lives today.

    My stories are angsty and steamy and full of adventure... and of course they always end with a happily ever after.♥️
