The Redcoat's Honour

Five brothers went to war, only one returned.

When Hamish MacLeod is injured in the Battle of Waterloo, all he hopes for is somewhere to rest and bury his nightmares, but his laird has been tearing down the crofts and has his eye on his home. Hamish’s fight remains unfinished.

Southerner Tabitha Wynmere knows little of the Highlands, only that her younger brother was stationed there and has since gone missing. She steals his spare redcoat uniform and rides to Scotland, praying he still lives. On the road she encounters the Highlander.

Can she trust Hamish or will she become embroiled with her own brother’s abductor?

Curious Governess,
Dangerous Lord

None dare approach the dilapidated manor house on the dunes. Widower Lord Winterton is beset with rumours of being a foul sea spirit who ferries off unattached women to his secret tunnels.
Headstrong Virtue Browne has little time for gossip. To her, Lord Winterton is sweet and gentle August, who she used to play with on the sands, and who has now employed her to teach his daughter.
However, it has been years since they last saw one another. Local innkeeper Jeb Strawhouse has pledged to ruin the other man for some past injustice while August would happily see him hang.
Who can Virtue trust? Will the governess’s curiosity be satisfied or will her voice become another mournful cry that causes men to shudder at night?

Ichabod Crane and Headless Horseman Mysteries

One Halloween night, Ichabod Crane vanished. Most believed the Headless Horseman had whisked him off. The truth was he had hid himself away in shame after being the victim of a cruel trick—the Headless Horseman who near harried him into an early grave was in fact a love rival for the affections of Katrina Van Tassel.


Five years pass and the rival, Brom Bones, is found beheaded. Ichabod returns to Sleepy Hollow to search for the killer and woo the now widowed Katrina.

​

Instead, he gains a headless ally...
