The daffodils are up in my garden. Along the side of the house are big yellow Camelots, in front is a clump of white daffodils with bright orange cups—I’ve forgotten the name. And in the hosta garden my favorite daffodils are just coming into bud: snow white Thalias with their petals that curve backwards.

This month I’m excited to debut a new look for my website, courtesy of the creative talents of Vibeke Courtney of DreamForge Media. I hope you’ll take a moment and look around.

To Beguile a Beast is in stores now! The third book my Legend of the Four Soldiers series, To Beguile a Beast features hero Sir Alistair Munroe, scarred from the war in the Americas and living in a dusty old castle. One night he opens the door to find a beauty on his step, claiming to be his new housekeeper. Romantic Times BOOKreviews magazine gave To Beguile a Beast a Top Pick review and said:

“The third legend in the Four Soldiers quartet is a magical love story that reads like a mystical fable and a very real and highly passionate romance. Hoyt has found a unique niche that highlights both her storytelling abilities and her considerable talents for depth of character and emotion.”

I hope you enjoy To Beguile a Beast!

Finally, I’m very happy to announce that To Seduce a Sinner has finaled in Romance Writers of America’s RITA contest! Huzzah!
