My Dearest Miss Fairfax

How much would you gamble for true love?

Jane Fairfax dreaded her future as a governess. But genteel solitude seemed her fate. Then handsome, charming, rich Frank Churchill asked to marry her – IF his rich aunt agreed. He just had to persuade her first.

What could possibly go wrong?


Jane Austen Lied to Me

What college girl doesn't dream of meeting Mr. Darcy? Lizzie was certainly no exception. But when Darcy Fitzwilliam comes into her life, her idea of romance spirals out of control.

Dorm life turns into an emotional rollercoaster of elation and heartbreak, as one ideal hero after another delivers twists and turns and unpleasant surprises.

Pulled from one disaster to the next, Lizzie refuses to let the tensions between classwork, parents, and everyone’s expectations – including her own – break her heart.

Even if her one burning question becomes, “How could my hero be so wrong?”

A Woman's Persuasion

Anne Elliot broke off her relationship with Freddie Wentworth when her family didn't approve.

Almost eight years later, Freddie re-materializes in her life. She's a captain in the Air Force, successful, single, and as beautiful as ever. Mortified that she doesn't have much to show for the intervening years, Anne tries to avoid her.

When contact is inevitable, her life is turned upside down. Self-doubt becomes self-improvement, old wounds are reopened and then allowed to heal, and true friends and true love win in the end.


Wealth and Privilege

Scions of Pittsburgh Book 1

Money. Family. Love. Hate. Obsession. Duty. Politics. Religion - or the lack thereof. Sex -- or, once again, the lack thereof. Thomas Baldwin finds himself married to a woman he can't stand, while head-over heels in love with another woman he can't have. Talk about bad planning.

As if the twists and turns of his personal life don’t create enough tension, an unending string of disasters - the railroad riots of 1877, the creation of the Homestead Steel Works, the assassination of President Garfield, and the Johnstown Flood – keep him wondering if his life will ever stop spiraling out of control.

Only his muse – lovely, warm, and heartbreaking – gives him the maddening feel that perhaps there is a way off the rollercoaster.

Brains and Beauty

Scions of Pittsburgh Book 2

Regina Waring seems to have it all: a loving husband, a successful business, and the most expensive wardrobe in town. But nothing is as it appears. Her husband is critical and demanding, the business teeters on ruin, even the opulent wardrobe is a clever illusion. Regina's life is a delicate high wire act; one misstep and she will plunge to her doom.

Attempting to keep her life from spiraling out of control, she appeases the husband, dresses the part, and never, never says what she's really thinking. That would get in the way of getting things done. And if there's one thing Regina does really well, it is getting things done.

Enter Thomas Baldwin: young and handsome and completely off limits. Regina is smitten at first sight. Hiding her fascination behind friendship, she hides the tension behind a smile, and tries to control her racing emotions. If only she could.

The eagerly demanded sequel to Wealth and Privilege is a carefully researched historical novel about life and love among the upper class of Pittsburgh.
