Praise for Kiss of Deceit

"... weaves together a fine tapestry of romance and history. With intense emotion and passion the characters come alive on the page and engage you from the opening chapters." ~Cynthia Vespia

"Hines creates very sympathetic characters in Rebekah, Jonathan, and even Black Rory. I wasn't sure who I was rooting for to win Rebakah's heart... Black Rory or Jonathan! I'd recommend this book for anyone with an interest in the American Revolution, the deep South, or romance literature." ~Wordwonk

Scarlet Ribbons by Judith E. French


Who Is This Handsome Scoundrel?

The American Patriots realize Sarah Turner needs watching. Since her husband's disappearance she has been running King's Landing Inn, a known meeting place for Tory plotting. Forest Irons, a magnetically handsome undercover agent, is sent to spy on the courageous young woman—and his mere presence at the inn is like igniting a powder keg of danger, distrust...and wild desire.

As war sweeps through the colonies and passions flare, Sarah and Forest's desperate need for each other overpowers all else, driving them into the heat of battle, and engulfing them in the flames of a love that knows no bounds.


Reviews: 

"Very strong characters, hunky guy with or without his eye-patch, incredibly brave woman with a sense of humor, terrific writing... this is a real treat. I never tire of reading about our nation's struggles for liberty."

"...a multi-layered story that is deftly and seamlessly woven together. I felt as if I could see, hear, and feel the colonization of America. I highly recommend this book."

Genesee by Juliet Waldron



An EPPIE Award-Winner!

Born to a runaway teen and Iroquois Warrior, Genesee struggles to find her place, her loyalties eternally torn between two warring peoples. When the American Revolution sets the Mohawk Valley ablaze, will a young soldier’s love prove strong enough to save her?

"GENESEE is an extraordinary book about love, hardship and prejudice. It's well written and full of wonderful characters. Even though they have many differences, Genesee and Alexander are true kindred spirits. Ms. Waldron keeps you enthralled by, a little at a time, giving tantalizing tidbits of their origins. This story isn't sugarcoated, which is really refreshing. There are some instances of violence, but they're brief and handled well. Anyone who enjoys an honest, realistic story will love this one." ~Renee Burnette

"Genesee is a fascinating look into the early life of upstate New York during the [American Revolution]. Juliet Waldron makes you feel as if you’re experiencing Genesee’s trials and tribulations right along side her." ~ Lani Roberts, Affaire de Coeur

"Genesee won the EPPIE 2003 award for best historical novel. The story of confidence in one's self, faith in love and the resilience of the human spirit, Genesee is an entertaining romantic adventure set in a young America, but its lessons are timeless." ~Mary O. Bradley, The Patriot-News.

The Partisan's Wife by Kathy Fischer-Brown


From The Serpent's Tooth Series



Faced with an impossible choice, Anne Marlowe is torn between her love for her husband and the hope of her father’s forgiveness. As the American forces follow up on their tide-turning victories over the British at Freeman’s Farm and Bemis Heights, Peter is drawn inextricably deeper into the shady network of espionage that could cost them both their lives.

Is his commitment to the Rebel cause stronger than his hard-won love for Anne? Will her sacrifice tear them apart again...this time forever? Or will they find the peace and happiness they both seek in a new beginning?

The Partisan’s Wife follows Anne and Peter through the war torn landscape of Revolutionary War
America, from the Battle of Saratoga to New York, Philadelphia and beyond.
 
"The characters, drawn from all classes--loyalists, rebels, opportunists, the cruel, the mad and the kind--are crisply drawn and always believable. I'd recommend "The Partisan's Wife"… You won't be disappointed."

Independence by Janet Cooper


Free for Kindle
Dec 7-9th

The year is 1786, and the rebellious Katherine Randolph is an unceasing embarrassment to her high-brow British family. Challenging Jonathan Drew to a curricle race tips the scales to such a degree that she is exiled to America where she is to remain until society forgets her latest faux pas.

Jonathan Drew, a British spy, is also sent to America. His government has learned that the French are seeking American support to stir an uprising in Canada, and Jonathan's orders are to destroy the operation.

Katherine loves living in America. The very air is scented with a radical liberation that speaks to her, and she is thrilled to become involved in the Constitutional Convention. Jonathan is drawn to Katherine's unfettered spirit; she so represents everything this new country stands for. Although Katherine is attracted to Jonathan, she is unwilling to give up her free lifestyle. She has no desire to wed or lose the precious independence she has discovered.

Can Katherine and Jonathan work together to thwart the rebellion? Will they come to understand that an independent heart can still find love?
