Flora’s Wish

The Course of True Love Never Did Run Smooth

May 1887—Flora Brimm is determined the fifth time is the charm. Back home in Natchez, Mississippi, she has a reputation as “Fatal Flora,” a woman whose previous four fiancés met odd, untimely deaths before they could get to the altar. Flora tries and tries again because she is desperate to marry. Producing an heir is the only way she can keep Brimmfield, her family’s estate, from going to her despised cousin Winthrop. She’s praying a visit to an elite spa in Eureka Springs with her grandmother will help her say “I do” at last.

Pinkerton agent Lucas McMinn is hot on the trail of Will Tucker, a charming, cunning thief who broke his sister’s heart. When Lucas arrives in Eureka Springs and discovers the slippery fellow apparently in Flora’s good graces, he believes they are in on a devious plot together. Will she be able to convince him of her innocence? Will he finally apprehend the elusive Mr. Tucker?

And, more importantly, will Lucas survive if he pursues Fatal Flora’s heart?

An engaging, romantic story of how God can move a wide array of circumstances to bring love, joy, and lasting fulfillment to the most hopeless heart.

Millie’s Treasure

If I Drew You a Treasure Map, Could You Find the Way to My Heart?

Memphis 1889—Bookish heiress Millie Cope is as clever as she is beautiful. Unfortunately, though adept at solving puzzles and cryptograms, she doesn’t realize her new fiancé isn’t who he claims to be, but is a charming scoundrel. The notorious Will Tucker is passing himself off as a British gentleman, Sir William Trueck, though in reality he is a crafty criminal looking for a hidden map to a secret treasure.

Pinkerton agent and part-time inventor Kyle Russell has been on Tucker’s trail for years. At last Kyle believes he has Tucker cornered, but he is uncertain whether the lovely woman on the con man’s arm is an unsuspecting victim or willing accomplice. Finding reasons to spend time with Millie is easy. Keeping himself from falling in love with her is another issue entirely.

This second book in The Secret Lives of Will Tucker series is a fun and romantic story of how God can shine the light of truth on the most cryptic of circumstances.
