Book Description
Charlotte Bronte meets Agatha Christie in this wonderful historical adventure novel set in the 18th century about a penniless but clever young teacher who becomes embroiled in a plot involving spies, smugglers, a pair of identical watches, puzzles, codes, an inheritance, and a very real danger to not only the heroine, but to England. It is 1795, and Mary Finch sets off to meet her wealthy uncle, hoping to heal a bitter family estrangement and perhaps to avoid a dismal career teaching at Mrs. Bunbury's school for young ladies. Eager for an adventure, she is soon embroiled in one of frightening proportions, for war is raging across Europe, England faces the threat of invasion, and some secrets are more valuable than gold. As she uncovers a complex and deadly plot involving ruthless smugglers, secret codes, and a dangerous network of spies and traitors, Mary must learn quickly whom she can trust. The apparently stalwart Captain Holland? The dangerous yet attractive Mr. Déprez? Perhaps the mysterious Hicks or even Mrs. Tipton, who knows what is best for everyone, especially Mary? The price of failure may be her life and the safety of all England.

Book Description
When two unsteady souls, in totally different life stages, cross paths at just the moment that each needs the other most... Rachel Trammel is an associate attorney, fresh out of law school, and works for the Law Firm of Mason, Blackstone & Thorpe. Always hiding behind her glasses and blending into her surroundings, Rachel is oblivious to the beauty she holds which is only enhanced by her sweet and humble nature. She works hard as a first-year attorney and entertains herself through observation along with a very active imagination. The one person who inspires and makes regular appearances in Rachel's imagination is her immediate boss and senior partner, Cameron Blackstone. Mr. Blackstone is a distinguished, charismatic, steel-blue eyed dream, who causes Rachel's sexual fantasies to run wild at the most inappropriate times. With his dark past and mysterious habits of rarely being seen during the daytime, Rachel amuses herself with the many possibilities to the reasons why and even entertains the idea that Mr. Blackstone may be a vampire. As these two spend time together, working on their cases, Mr. Blackstone begins urging Rachel past her comfort zone and as a result she unknowingly chisels away at his deep-seated barriers. A mutual attraction seems to develop, but is hindered by the shadows that lurk in Mr. Blackstone's past. When the truth is finally exposed, will it bring them closer together or will it be too heavy of a burden for Rachel to carry? ...they will either balance each other out and become better versions of themselves, at the hands of the other's encouragement; or, resist each other's hands to only fall deeper into apprehension.
