I also set a Regency at Cotehele--my sister lives very close to the house and the first time I saw it I knew it was the perfect setting for a story. Or two.

In SMUGGLERS' SUMMER,  though I described the house pretty accurately, I did add a secret passage. Somehow it also turned up in Mistletoe and Murder...  
    This is the original cover of Mistletoe and Murder. Though somewhat murky, and apparently showing a summer scene, it is a picture of the actual house where the story is set, Cotehele, though I called it Brockdene, so as not to upset surviving family members NOT related to the odd goings-on that Christmas of 1923.

Just for the holidays:

A collection of Regency novellas, available in Kindle, Nook and other ebook formats.

The Match of the Season: The heir to a dukedom is about to propose to Lady Cecily. Lord Avon is rich, handsome, charming. Cecy is rich, beautiful, an obedient daughter. Both families look forward with delight to an announcement...except Cecy. And when she meets Lord Avon's cousin, a mere commoner, her vague dissatisfaction turns into something quite different.

He Stoops to Conquer: Prudence, alias Seraphina Savage, is just an actress with a troupe hired by the marquis to entertain his Christmas guests with a performance of She Stoops to Conquer. But something about her intrigues Lord Rusholme, heir to the marquis, and he'll stop at nothing to find out exactly what she's up to at his family seat.
