If you love Outlander, you’ll love this romance
A Woman Forges a Treacherous Path to Save Hundreds from the Guillotine. If Geneviève had the same rights as a man, she wouldn’t have to dress like one or marry one. After saving Louis, a man she thought she hated, she is wanted for her crimes—and he is the only one she can trust. A suspenseful page-turner led by a renegade heroine whose compassion for innocent people leads to both loss and love.
Her dowry changed her prospects, but only heartbreak could teach her the difference between fortune hunters and true love.
Charlotte Kendall doesn't think she has a romantic bone in her body, but she agrees to let her sister help her find a match. What she doesn't know is, Dorothea's wealthy husband has boosted Charlotte's modest dowry by six-fold. Robert Morton, a neighbor who is desperate to keep his debts a secret, learns of the large dowry and begins to court Charlotte. His younger brother, Frederick, loves Charotte for herself, not her dowry. Will Charlotte make the right choice with her heart before it is too late?
Is the price of peace ever too high?
Joss Dane is not overly worried about her husband, ex-rifleman Sam Dane, going alone to London for the 1814 Peace Celebrations until she gets a letter from his former commander telling him he must assassinate an innocent Quaker, an advocate for permanent peace. She rushes to the city to consult with Sam who suspects both he and the captain are having their strings pulled. This might be the most critical case ever to confront the Discreet Detectives.
