An Unexpected Wish
Coming October 2015
Anne
Townsend has given up on finding a husband for herself. At 27, she is firmly on
the shelf and resigned to her fate. Instead she’s settled with finding a
husband for her beautiful sister. But a mischievous fairy derails all her plans
by making her the most wanted young lady in the village. Suddenly she’s
tripping over suitors and has no idea how to handle it.
Nathaniel
Matthews has returned to Beetham for one purpose: to prevent his younger
brother from an imprudent match to the daughter of his enemy. The elder
Townsend played a key role in his father’s death. Instead of preventing
the marriage, he finds himself wildly attracted to Anne Townsend.
Anne
is determined to resist all the overtures from the single men in the village
save one. Nathaniel Matthews, the man preventing the marriage that would save
her and her sisters from starvation, is the one man she can’t seem to resist.

An Honorable Wish
Coming November 2015
After a disastrous season in London, Juliet Townsend returns
home with a new focus – to be independent. Who needs to get married anyway?
While her sister, Sophia, enjoyed her popularity, Juliet was planning a life on
her own, and not under the thumb of some man. After a tragic carriage accident
takes his best friend after a night of debauchery, Tony Matthews comes home to
settle down, get married and find an estate to buy. Sophia, jealous of Tony’s
attention to Juliet, issues the challenge and Tony is the prize.
Research for Juliet’s novel provides the excuse for spending
time with Tony and keeps him away from her sister. The only problem is his
kisses tempt her to give up her plan for independence, inciting a passion she
didn’t think she was capable of feeling. When Tony finds out he’s been the
prize in the game between the sisters, he’s furious. He retreats to his new
estate. Juliet, now ruined, has no choice but go to Scotland until the scandal
passes. Her letters of apology go unanswered. Her plan for independence no
longer matters. She has lost real love and may never see it again. Sophia
meddles again by letting it slip that Juliet might have to marry in Scotland.
Tony goes to Scotland convinced she’s pregnant with his child and will only
marry him. He convinces her he loves her and forgives her and that she’s free
to write as many books as she wishes if she will only marry her. They marry in
Scotland and return to Beetham as man and wife.
