The Proposition
They met on the
eve of a battle. One enlisted to avoid prison, the other enlisted to avoid the
money lenders. On the bloodied fields of France, Harry Connelly collapses
beside the corpse of Andrew Conroy. It is a risk, a hanging offence—and his
only hope for a future. Harry swaps identity discs.
Now as Andrew, he is just another face in
post-war London until a letter arrives with a proposition. Accepting is out of
the question, refusing pushes him into a nightmare of greed, blackmail and
murder. To survive he must live this lie without a mistake. Then he falls for
Lacey and her secrets.
Lies of Gold
Their love affair ended in anger and painful
consequences. In Regency England, Lady
Katherine Ashford has guarded a secret through years of abuse from her husband
and now, after his death, from his brother who is also guardian to her
children.
Hard living and fighting wars have numbed Julian
Ashford, then, as so often happens, fate steps in. A traitor is smuggling gold across the
Channel to Napoleon Bonaparte, and Julian is ordered back to Halton Hall and
Katherine, the woman he’s tried for years to forget. It's her secret and their
increasing danger that rekindle the love they once shared.
Even when a murder reveals the shocking truth of
the gold smuggling, nothing can prepare them for the devastating betrayal that
awaits when they finally face the mastermind behind the sordid operation.
The Woman Behind the Mirror
Betrothed by her father to a man twice her age, Sarah
Forsythe runs away with the son of a Methodist minister. Not to Gretna Green,
to colonial America—the New World. For Sarah, a new world of broken promises
poverty and shame. Around her, the American Revolution is simmering, and the
siege of Boston worsens by the day. As British soldiers seek out traitors and
treason, a desperate Sarah breaks open a safe looking for cash. Instead, she
finds a box holding Bank of England documents. Through willpower, bitter
determination, and lying through her teeth, Sarah manages to make her way home
to England. What she doesn’t know is that two men follow, and they will do
anything to claim those documents.
Bank investigator Neil McAlister faces an almost
impossible task—to determine the true owner of the documents by deciding who is
lying. Most of all, as danger creeps ever closer, he needs to know who wants
the secretive, beautiful Sarah dead.
