Jocelyn Kelley

Jocelyn has been writing "stories" all her life, and, when she decided to write for publication, she decided she wanted to write what she read--historical romance. Why historicals? She explains it as, "I want my heroine to be able to pick up a weapon and use it without having to fill out reams of paperwork as she would in contemporary times. She might not use that weapon, but I want to give her the option to do so." In other words, a kick-butt heroine.

Lost in Shadow

(The first book in the Nethercott Tales series)



Her dear father died before convincing people of the existence of ghosts, so Jade Nethercott and her sisters set out to prove him right. Meanwhile, a ghost named Renshaw reveals to Jade his murderer's identity-Lord Bannatyne, notorious rake-so that she might protect Renshaw's fiancee. A nervous Jade finagles a meeting with Bannatyne, but he proves to be anything but rakish when he risks arrest rather than ruin Jade's reputation. Now she must decide whether to heed the ghost's warning-or follow her heart...

Kindred Spirits

(The second book in the Nethercott Tales series)



"The regency period was never so exciting!"
Lindsay McKenna



The Nethercott sisters return-and start believing in ghosts

The Nethercott sisters-China, Jade, and Sian-recently lost their beloved father, who believed in ghosts with all his heart. Still, China is shocked when she sees a ghost in a Roman centurion's garb. Quintus Valerius is cursed to remain on earth until he can save one of his descendants from murder-work that has been done in vain, until now. With the help of China, he intends to save Alexander, Major Lord Braddock.

Although Alexander balks at taking advice and protection from a ghost and a woman, China still can't keep herself from thinking of the handsome war hero in some very improper ways. But she's soon to learn the second half of the curse that Quintus forgot to mention: China's destiny may be tied to Alexander's-and equally deadly.
