MAID TO LOVE {Book 1, completed 90k manuscript} If former merchant-class heiress SARAH MANNION could have her way, she’d be the London Missionary Society’s newest member on route to Singapore. Instead, she’s stuck in a Highland castle staring at lowly dust mop. Fortunately for her, in three measly months, she can earn the money she needs to join the Missionary Society and begin a life with a new name, new identity. In a land far away from the gossipy ton. Sadly for her, between the food-obsessed castle servants, an interfering shepherd, and one as-stubborn-as-he-is-secretive duke intent on making her his bride, Sarah’s simple time as a servant becomes all too complicated. Just when she thinks she has everything under control, the Queen of England makes an outrageous proposal . . .
COMES THE DAWN {Book 2} Torn from her beloved Jamaican coffee plantation by a brother obsessed with making her life miserable, CASSANDRA HAWTHORNE wants nothing better than to survive her first—and preferably—only London Season. The lonely heiress yearns to hear God’s voice again, an almost impossible task amid her noisy suitors. And the only man who understands her desperation seems more concerned about a recovering a stolen poodle so he’ll be free to find a dead queen so he can then secure a promotion to Scotland Yard detective. Can Cassie find the way out of the dark night of her soul before a huntsman looking for the not-so-dead queen mistakes her for his prey?
THIS DEADLY MADNESS {Book 3, completed 90k manuscript} As the Civil War rages, Nurse JOBY HARRISON prefers staying where life is safe . . . preferably inside the Kessler-Burgos Insane Asylum she hopes to soon co-own. Yet, after a dying patient insists her destiny is to retrieve the US Treasury printing plates he’s hidden, chaos erupts in her peaceful mental hospital. To her further dismay, another patient turns out to be a gun-toting, trouble-inviting, love-struck marshal in search of the same stolen property. Joby’s confident, though, that between reminding the marshal she isn’t his answered prayer, saving her reporter best-friend from the marshal’s flirtatious partner, and keeping the demons from her past at bay, she can figure out the clues to the treasure’s location before the major’s killer finds her. Or so she prays.
