The Queen's Gamble
Book #4 in the Thornleigh Series

Young Queen Elizabeth I’s path to the throne has been a perilous one, and already she faces a dangerous crisis. French troops have landed in Scotland to quell a rebel Protestant army, and Elizabeth fears once they are entrenched on the border, they will invade England.

Isabel Thornleigh has returned to London from the New World with her Spanish husband, Carlos Valverde, and their young son. Ever the queen’s loyal servant, Isabel is recruited to smuggle money to the Scottish rebels. Yet Elizabeth’s trust only goes so far—Isabel’s son will be the queen’s pampered hostage until she completes her mission. Matters grow worse when Isabel’s husband is engaged as military advisor to the French, putting the couple on opposite sides in a deadly cold war.

 Entrapped

A novel of high stakes: life and death, love, and oil

Three people must discover how much they’ll risk to try and keep what they have . . .

Liv Gardner, an ambitious young executive at Falcon Oil and fiancée of its owner, faces a sabotage crisis. She thinks she will do anything to preserve what she has worked so hard to achieve, no matter the cost.

Tom Wainwright, maverick farmer turned saboteur. Convinced that Liv’s “sour” gas wells killed his wife, he is out to destroy Falcon Oil.

Mickey Havelock, the charismatic oilman engaged to marry Liv. He won’t let anything, including murder, stop his plan to reap the wealth from Spirit Creek’s oil and gas.

Spirit Creek, a small town in Alberta, Canada, anxious to keep the oilfield jobs that are its lifeblood, is stunned by fear when one of its own is murdered . . .


Kyle has peopled a landscape of smoke and poison and vast natural beauty with a cast of vivid characters, and none of them, from the slick oil baron to the vengeful radical to the not-quite-professional investigator are quite what they seem ... many jolts and twists and turns that will leave no one unsatisfied.

The King's Daughter
Book #2 in the Thornleigh Series
Kensington Books, New York (2009)

When Henry VIII’s bitter daughter, Queen Mary, launches her reign with a vow to annihilate heretics, young Isabel Thornleigh must act quickly to save her family. Determined to rescue her father from prison, she entrusts her mission, and herself, to a ruthless mercenary. But Isabel is also pledged to spy for the rebel leader whose men are bent on overthrowing the Queen. Caught up in a dangerous maelstrom of intrigue and shifting loyalties, unsure of who is friend and who is foe, Isabel knows only that she must unmask the mysterious traitor bent on destroying her family.


In her follow-up to The Queen's Lady, Canadian actress-novelist Kyle brings a theatrical flair to the 16th-century story of Isabel Thornleigh, a young English bride-to-be who gets caught up in Catholic Queen Mary's war against English heretics. When her father, merchant and courtier Richard Thornleigh, is identified as a Protestant heretic, he pleads with Isabel to flee with her mother to Antwerp. Instead, Isabel abandons her plans for marriage and stays behind in England to save her father and country. As she spies for the forces plotting to overthrow the queen -- including her husband-to-be, Martin St. Leger -- Isabel also collaborates with a savage mercenary to free her father from jail. Isabel's quest culminates in the Wyatt rebellion of 1554, the rebel leader's unsuccessful attempt to overthrow Queen Mary and prevent her marriage to King Philip of Spain. Kyle ably unfurls a complex and fast-paced plot, mixing history with vibrant characters for a brisk, entertaining read.- Publisher's Weekly
