Son œuvre, particulièrement dans le genre fantastique, se caractérise par des répliques pleines d'esprit et une touche d'humour léger. Son imagination vive et son affection pour l'histoire imprègnent ses récits, dont beaucoup prennent vie lors de ses fréquents voyages à travers le monde. Lorsqu'elle n'écrit pas, elle trouve l'inspiration dans la peinture, les pique-niques, la lecture et l'exploration de musiques diverses.

He could deny the truth no longer: the most valuable thing he'd ever won in a game of chance was the heart of Miss Lorelei Lindon. Was love not the greatest gamble of all? When bored Miss Lorelei Lindon sneaks out in the middle of the night in search of ghosts, she finds rather more than she bargained for in the enigmatic Lord Winbourne. And when he does a dastardly thing and steals her treasured necklace as a memento of their midnight encounter, she must find a way to retrieve it without causing a scandal. Lord Winbourne is certainly a mystery and he seems determined to make her whole world unravel. How can one man burn with such passion one moment, and assume such a frosty façade the next? Will Lorelei be able to retrieve her trinket without losing her heart and her virtue to the irresistible rake? Is she a complete wanton or is the passion between them so wrong that it must be right? And will he acknowledge the true depth of his own passion before it is too late? Throw in a few well-meaning relatives, a niece stubbornly caught up in her own romantic dilemmas and duel to the death, and Lorelei's life will surely never be boring again...

As Maggie and her dearest friend Cecile begin to establish their new identities in the most romantic city in the world, she discovers that love isn't so easily left behind - especially when you're trying to ignore it.
