Thanks so much for stopping by. Here you’ll find all the details about my books—so please, have a good nose around and make yourself at home.

I know you don’t want to part with your hard‑earned cash unless you’re sure a book is your cup of tea. Completely fair. That’s why I’d love to gift you a free copy of A Bouquet of White Roses, the prequel novella to my first novel, The Garden Plot. Just hit this link. You’ll need to subscribe to get it, but honestly—you can unsubscribe any time if it’s not for you.

My new release!

1818, Alderwold Hall: Outspoken bluestocking Grace Chamberlain returns to her family home after her father’s death, only to find her sister‑in‑law openly flirting with a man of decidedly shady reputation — and doing it right under her brother’s nose.

 

When Grace confronts the beguiling George Barlow, he blackmails her into silence. If she’s to reveal the truth without uttering a word, she’ll need a subtler weapon — and someone she can trust.

​

Fellow guest Charles Murray, is hardly her favourite person. Yet Grace suspects he may have the learning — and the patience — to decipher the symbols she’s quietly embroidering into her fire screen to expose the scandal. But can he uncover the truth in time? And will he keep what he finds between them?

 

2026, Alderwold village: Fleeing from a toxic relationship, Jules Bradshaw moves into the village looking for new friends, a new career, a new life. A community embroidery project seems the perfect way to settle in — especially when a mysterious Regency fire screen at Alderwold Hall hints at a long‑buried story.

 

But Jules, her confidence bruised by her ex and desperate to make an impression, makes one reckless choice: she lies about her career, and continues to embroider her past life. But when Richard Swain, the dynamic and disarmingly attractive town councillor, discovers she hasn’t been straight with him, her hopes, her friendships, and her future begin to unravel.

 

Can Jules salvage the life she’s trying to create — or will her one misstep cost her everything?

On KU for a limited time!

Reviews

"This is a brilliant book. Mr Murray is a dark horse I didn't see coming!"

UK ARC reader

"Sartagne has a very Heyer voice, the historical details were excellent and I felt like I was in safe hands because she clearly knows and loves the period.  Grace is a great character. I loved her strength and how hard she fought to protect her family.  I really liked how slowly her love story developed - that was brilliantly handled.  I enjoyed Jules' story and could very much see my own village in Alderwold which entertained me. All of the town politics were brilliantly done."
