Set in Wales during the tumultuous late Georgian era and early Regency, these two books written under the Deborah Martin pseudonym center around one couple's story of betrayal and redemption, followed by the story of their protege and the love he finds with a shy, scholar of myths and folklore. Although the books have been reworked to improve the pace and sharpen the writing, they're still darker and more dramatic than the Sabrina Jeffries books, with more emphasis on the historical backdrop. But her characteristic sexual tension and some of her humor still shine through.
Set in the Restoration period of Charles II, when theaters were first using women actresses in female parts and men like the famous libertine Lord Rochester were swaggering about London, this two-book series was originally published under the Deborah Martin pseudonym. Although the books have been reworked to improve the pace and reflect Sabrina's changing interests, they still represent a different kind of work. Dark, dramatic, and emotional, they nonetheless still seethe with Sabrina's characteristic sexual tension, encapsulating an era she has always found fascinating.
In these short fiction selections, readers will find all of the romance, wit, and charm they have come to expect from a Sabrina Jeffries novel packaged in a read-all-in-one-sitting format. This selection of novellas, short stories, and e-book shorts will give readers a quick fix of Sabrina's storytelling when they're in between reading her novels.
Most of the books written as Deborah Martin are unavailable new, but you can still find copies in used bookstores and online used outlets (including Amazon and Barnes and Noble). For more info, go to my How to Find My Books page. The Deborah Martin historicals are denser and less humorous than my Sabrina Jeffries books, but if you are looking for sexual tension, both styles have plenty of it.
