    It's all fun and games until someone falls in love.Lover of the Gothic craze sweeping the nation, Miss Georgiana Spence only has one thing on her mind this summer-the Eglinton tournament. Three full days of knights and ladies, dazzling jousting and succulent feasts, the medieval era will come back to life in Scotland, and not even the fact that her obscenely rich father is trying to sell her off for a title can ruin it for her.Well, it's almost ruining it for her.Because Georgina's intended, Lord Edward, Marquis of Marlborough, is anything but chivalrous. The marquis is taciturn and serious and myopic about restoring his estate to its former glory since his father squandered the family fortune. He doesn't have time for the archaic tournament, let alone have any intention of competing in it. That's only for young ne'er-do-well aristocrats who have nothing better to do than spill an exorbitant amount of money on armor and outfits-silly dandies who have no idea about real problems and the sacrifices needed to fix them. Sacrifices like marrying a rich merchant's daughter who clearly loathes him and has no qualms about shuffling her feet to the alter.With time running out for Edward, he decides to take matters into his own hand and get creative for Georgiana's love. A little poetry and a dash of gallantry never hurt anyone. Medieval courting might be just the thing to convince the woman that his buttoned-up ways make him the perfect knight for her. And, together, Georgiana and Edward might find that chivalry isn't dead in the 19th century; it merely looks a little different.After all, everything looks different when two people are falling in love!The Eglinton Knight SeriesBook 1 - Knight of the Jaded HeartBook 2 - Knight of the Wicked HeartBook 3 - Knight of the Bleeding HeartBook 4 - Knight of the Broken Heart

    One glance. A shipwreck. Can a love affair forged in peril sustain two independent spirits?Lavinia Onslow, who delights in the freedom of managing her father's millinery shop in the heart of Savannah, Georgia, has decided she may defy convention and not marry after all. Yet, in the summer of 1838, on board the elegant steamship Pulaski, bound from Savannah to Baltimore, she exchanges glances with an intriguing young man. What can ensue from a mere glance? Quite a lot, as legend has it. That very night, the boiler of the Pulaski explodes and the ship sinks, drowning most of its wealthy passengers. As Lavinia struggles in the water in her heavy dress, calling out for her father and thinking she will surely perish, someone dives in to rescue her, pulling her up next to him on a makeshift raft made of two deck settees. When she composes herself, she recognizes the intriguing man. There they float, alone but together, surrounded by ocean, thirty miles off the coast of North Carolina, desperate for a life-saving miracle.Is the bond she feels for this stranger more than an instinct for survival?Inspired by a legend --that may or not be true-- and set in the rich historic milieus of Savannah, New Orleans, and the coast of North Carolina, Between the Sky and the Sea explores how Lavinia Onslow's desire to live as an independent woman transforms after surviving the wreck of the Pulaski.
