Finally!
It's been more than TEN years since my first book was published and I'm happy to announce that book along with the other two in the sweet historical romance trilogy are finally available digitally. I affectionately call this my three sisters and a steamboat series, and it holds a special place in my heart. You'll also see as you read them how this series sparked my interest in writing mystery.
After her father's death leaves her family penniless and homeless, Alex
Parker hopes to profit from her family's sole remaining possession, an aging
steamboat called Amazing Grace. With the funds from this sale, she can buy back
her family home. But she needs a captain and no one on the river wants to work
for a woman. Needing help, she turns to Captain Matthew Kinkade, a man who
wants the boat for himself, a man whose desperation drives him to agree to Alex's
outrageous plan of marriage in name only.
The
love Matt and Alex find aboard Amazing Grace is powerful, but is it strong
enough to withstand her insecurities, his tragic past, and the violent acts of
a man out to destroy them both?
Shy, charming Lou Parker is keeping secrets. Secrets about who she truly
is, her job, and what she desires from life. It's not until she falls for local
Reverend John Hewitt that she realizes her secrets need to be shared...even
though she risks losing him forever.
John
Hewitt has secrets of his own, but none compared to the love he feels for
Lou--until he discovers that Madame Angelique, a sultry, mysterious songstress
his congregation considers "fallen," is actually Lou. John already
has to deal with fickle churchgoers casting judgment on the Parker sisters for
their riverboat "heathen" business without them wondering about his
feelings for Lou.
When
their fragile relationship is tested, with the revelation of their secrets,
they must find the courage to overcome their past. Will they discover in time
that true love can heal any wound?
Eager to raise enough money to fulfill her dream of raising horses,
rebellious beauty Jack Parker knows just how to do it - by playing poker, of
course. Through her skill with cards, her devil-may-care attitude, and her
growing winnings, she's well on her way to buying her own horse farm.
Only
one thing stands in her way: Cal McQue.
Jack
lost her heart to the mysterious gambler once and is determined not to let it
happen again. Especially when she discovers that there's a dangerous side to Cal. Now she must not
only keep winning at cards, but learn as much as she can about this man who
still holds her heart. As the time to play her hand draws closer - and as she
slowly learns of Cal's
true motivations - Jack must make the call.
Will
she trust her wild heart or gamble away love forever?
Right now they're available on Kindle and Nook. Other formats to come soon. I hope you'll give them a try!
