I love a book that is filled with surprises. At first glance, I'm sure it's easy to think that the1700s are predictable and dull. Not true. This era was filled with passion, betrayal, and even humor. I look forward to sharing all of this and more in my books.
The Freedom Series: Cost of Freedom, book one In a Boston cemetery, Abigail Matthews overhears two Patriots plotting against her beloved England. She confides in her childhood friend William Jackson and is shocked to learn of his support and involvement with the Sons of Liberty. Alone one night and surrounded by an English patrol, Abigail shoots a British soldier. She is no longer seen as a Loyalist and tries to escape the watch. William finds her and brings her with him to Berkshire where they discover hostile Loyalists, unstable Indian alliances, and each other. William sets out on one last assignment and is confronted by the man Abigail shot and a female gun smuggler. In the flash of a discharged gun barrel, William fights for more than freedom.
Bound by Honor, book two Corporal Underwood will die if Abigail Jackson refuses his request. She can find no reason to keep him alive and she holds him partially responsible for William being shot. But can she live with a decision that could alienate her from her family? Hers is not the only thread unraveling the Jackson household. Against mounding Patriot resistance, Harrison tries to maneuver the fledgling country toward independence. His goal is not easy to achieve when he spends more time than deemed necessary with British supporters. When he is confronted by a mysterious woman from his past, he is forced into a life he thought he had buried. Victoria Greyson and colonial independence demand more from him than he wants to give, and neither of them will be denied.
Stand Alone Books: For Mercy's Sake . Widowed and propositioned at the gravesite is not Anna Sinclair's idea of romance, but lifelong friend Daniel Mercy is not a man easily refused. Destitute, she accepts his provision and they marry within days of her husband Seth's funeral, much to the raised eyebrows of 1762, Charleston society. Daniel and Anna investigate the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and learn of Seth's involvement with embezzlement, smuggling, and attempted murder--hers. When they discover the name of Seth's murderer, Anna is kidnapped. Some secrets should remain buried with the dead but as Anna fights to stay alive, she uncovers one secret Daniel has hidden from her.
