KEEPER OF THE LIGHT

A passionate love story full of strength, faith and fate.
“Has no one ever told you? Love changes you. Love changes everything.”
The unthinkable has happened. There is war between the states, and even in the relative safety of the North, free spirited Katherine Lawrence feels its desecration. Once bathed in the warm light of home and family, she witnesses the bitter changes that are gradually bringing her world to ruin. Unable to make a choice that would go against everything she believes in, she is further devastated by the loss of Captain Devin Galloway, the man she loves but must live without. With a fierce determination to do the right thing, she faces the dangers ahead, never dreaming the war will invade her own backyard.

When Devin returns to Boston, their paths seem ever destined to cross. Cursing the Fates, Katherine has vowed to avoid him at all costs. But now he is in trouble. Can she find the strength to set aside her broken heart, risk his nearness, and save him in time, or will it prove to be the breaking point in her crumbling defenses? Can she run from the one thing she wants most in the world, or does Fate have other plans?

Devin is determined to stop the gun runners that he detests. This has become his purpose and his passion, and the only thing he wants more than to stop the runners, is to find the woman who captured his heart, bewitched him, and left him without an explanation. He believes in his cause. He believes he will find her. And he believes in Fate.

A DREAM ALLOWED

A Regency Romance Cinderella story where etiquette reigns, everyone lies, and love doesn’t follow the rules.

Elizabeth Maddison loved Lord Stanton long before he made her the envy of the ton by dancing with her at her first ball. Reputation is everything, and with a drunken gambler for a father, her family has fallen from grace. Further betrayal sends her into hiding, leaving a match with Lord Stanton a distant dream. She knows the rich and powerful marquess is not for her. He would be laughed out of London, and she loves him too much to ever let that happen.

Damn the rules! Richard St. Keene, Marquess of Stanton, sees no reason not to associate with Lady Elizabeth and help her if he can. He is a gentleman, after all, and she is a lady in need of assistance. That is all there is to it… Except that he finds the intriguing woman unforgettable.

As a final insult, Elizabeth is accused of an unspeakable crime, which only serves to bolster her resolve. Will Stanton be able to save her from facing the hangman and convince her they belong together, or has she given up? Can a dream once denied become a dream allowed?

She fell long ago, but she is convinced it is a love not meant to be. He was waiting for lightning to strike. Of course there is love, denial of something does not make it non-existent, but there are rules. There are also lies, secrets, betrayals, hidden jewels and a delightful meddling duchess. Falling in love can be murder.
