About Ruined: Martini Club 4 – The 1920’s
After the Earl of Goodwin attempts to force himself on her, housemaid Eliza Gilbert flees England for New York, hoping to build a better life. But the land of opportunity proves as harsh as the London docks, and she finds herself in a situation more dreadful than the one she escaped. When Vince Taggart’s childhood friend disappears, he heads to New York in search of her and meets Eliza, a woman with a less than honorable reputation. Inexplicably captivated, Vince can’t force himself to stay away, especially when he learns Eliza may be the key to finding his missing friend.
When did you write Ruined?
I’ve worked on it off and on for about a year, but completed it in late, 2014.
What was the spark that gave you the story idea?
The idea came from a weekly outing between myself and three of my author friends. We meet every Friday at The Martini Lounge in Edmond, Oklahoma. We came up with an idea to write a series of books centered around the lounge, and we decided to set the first ones in a 1920’s speakeasy.
Why do readers buy Ruined?
I think partly because the 1920’s era is popular right now, thanks in part to The Great Gatsby remake, but also because they are intrigued at the idea of my heroine being a ‘lady of the evening.’

Takeaway Truth
If you’re always complaining about romance novels being “the same” then Ruined may be what you’re looking for with its 1920′s speakeasy setting and a heroine who is a “lady of the evening.” If you like the novel, be sure and leave the author a short review.
