  A lasting friendship, a dream sacrificed, a life destroyed. 
   
   
   
  Major Devon Hart, the ultimate rake, had women flocking to his bed, until a street brawl four years ago left him scarred, inside and out. His once-handsome face now damaged beyond recognition, he remains hidden, except at night, when he dispenses his own brand of justice on the streets of London. He has nothing to live for except his friendship with Colonel Fossett, who saved his life, and his love for Lady Atalanta Grey, a woman he can only hope to admire from afar. 
   
   
   
  Lady Atalanta longs to be loved for something other than her wealth and beauty. Her life holds no excitement, until the night she's set upon by thieves. The masked stranger who comes to her aid stirs delicious passions with tender words and scorching kisses, but he disappears before she can identify him. 
   
   
   
  Devon believes that Atalanta could never love the scarred, bitter man he's become. But when Fossett asks for Devon's help in wooing her, Devon must choose between sacrificing his dream of happiness, or betraying the man to whom he owes everything. 
   
   
   
  When a man has little to live for, will he sacrifice his dreams for the sake of a friend?

  Eleanor Howard has never fit in. Constantly outshone by her younger sister, and continually criticized by her ambitious mother, Eleanor yearns to be loved for herself. Her secret infatuation with the Duke of Whitcombe—who'd never deign to notice, much less court her—would, if revealed, make her the laughingstock of the ton. 
   
   
   
  Until he strides across a crowded ballroom and offers his hand. 
   
   
   
  Montague FitzRoy, fifth Duke of Whitcombe, is unwilling to surrender the pleasures of bachelorhood. When his mother, insistent on finding him a duchess of the right pedigree, forces his hand, he decides on impulse to punish her by kneeling before the least desirable woman in the room. 
   
   
   
  Only Miss Howard believes his proposal to be genuine. 
   
   
   
  The solution? A false betrothal that keeps Monty's mother in check, and lifts Miss Howard's prospects. But beneath Eleanor's awkward exterior lies a passionate, intelligent woman, misunderstood and unappreciated, who challenges Monty's notions of duty, life, and love—and with whom he's falling in love himself. 
   
   
   
  As the end of the Season, and their inevitable parting, approaches, Monty is faced with a choice—surrender to duty, or follow his heart.

  This work has all the gripping excitement of the American west in postbellum America and the operations of the seventh Cavalry in and around the Little Bighorn valley. Heart stopping cavalry charges, desperate solders surrounded and cut off from the rest of the command, forced to fight their way out, the Indigenous struggle to freely live a life they had lived for thousands of years, and the gut-wrenching sadness the futility of war produces  
  	Except for Will and Jake, all the characters, times, dates, actions, and movements in this book are historically accurate and written in the same manner as Michael Shaara’s. Killer Angels, or Jeff Shaara’s Gone for Soldiers.

  1943: When a safe house in Nazi-occupied the Netherlands becomes too dangerous for Edith, she flees. Injured, she meets Erich who promises to take her to his family's home for medical attention. En route she awakens to discover that they've entered Nazi Germany—the last place she wants to be as a Jew. 
   
   
   
  In need of concealing her faith, and with limited choices, Edith becomes the private teacher to Erich's young brothers. Her roommate is a Roma with a tragic past and also hides from the Nazis in plain sight. When the new friends learn that Erich's father is a senior member of the Nazi party, they know it is time to escape. Yet, Nazi patrols complicate their travels. Then, the last person imagined supplies a means to not only leave the house but from the Reich, altogether, though their safety is at risk as they cross several national borders. 
   
   
   
  Following We Shall Not Shatter and Our Daughters' Last Hope, the new friends, brought together by a common enemy, must courageously look into the eyes of evil and begin a gutsy journey to search for their families they've left behind during the war, and to help others through these dark times of prejudice and hatred.

  Amidst the violent weather of Europe's Little Ice Age, "A Slender Tether" offers a novel in linked stories on self-discovery, woven into a rich tapestry of 14th century France. Christine de Pizan, now heralded as Europe's first feminist and brilliant author, grapples with ambition and alienation amid the beautiful women at court. A doctor finds an unusual way to cope with the death of his wife. And opportunity alternates with disasters in the lives of four commoners who are yoked by necessity: a papermaker struggling to keep his business, a falconer with a mysterious past, a merchant's daughter frantic to avoid an arranged marriage, and a down-on-his-luck musician with a broken guitar and the voice of an angel.
