    What harm could one night of pleasure do?  
    Cybil Bythesea is imprisoned in a marriage that ended ten years ago. That’s when she fled the cruelty of her husband, Lord Falstone, and took refuge at her father’s estate in Northumberland. Since then, her family’s money has kept the villain at bay, and she’s been able to pursue her creative passion—writing. But freedom, true freedom, has been beyond her grasp.  
    Except for her clandestine liaisons with Will.  
    Will Chisolm is haunted by the past, the tragedy of his family’s eviction from their ancestral Highland farm, then his own foolish descent into political radicalism. Even now that he’s gained wealth and respectability as the manager of a set of spinning mills in Glasgow, he’s burdened with more responsibility and guilt than anyone knows.  
    But there’s something about Cybil—a lightness, a kinship that, at least temporarily, makes all Will’s troubles fade away. It’s a dangerous game. Cybil is his employer’s sister, the wife of his political enemy and for the last four years, his lover.  
    She’s also with child. Will’s child. And their world, their lives, will never be the same.  
    “...an achingly beautiful world of love, desperation, intrigue, a reckoning with the past, and a twisty, emotional journey. I loved it from start to finish and continue to think about it days later in the best possible ways.” - Reader review 
    A Radical Affair is the first book in the Darnalay Castle Series, although all of the books in the series can be read as standalones. It contains strong language and several spicy open-door scenes.

    A Western adventure rooted in truth, forged in mystery. 
    The Black Hills stood untouched, unclaimed, and full of secrets when Ezra Kind carved his fate into a slab of sandstone. What began as a search for gold quickly turned into a desperate fight for survival — and a message that would echo through generations. 
    Decades later, as new settlers and fortune-seekers flood the Dakota Territory, two brothers uncover the half-buried stone and find themselves pulled into the mystery it holds. In a land where fact and folklore blur, where hope is weighed against hardship, the Kind family’s legacy stirs once again. 
    Based on real events and inspired by the legend of the Thoen Stone, The Kind Whisper launches The Kind Legacy Series — a sweeping historical Western filled with frontier grit, hidden truths, and the powerful ties of family. Along the way, it crosses paths with some of the West’s most iconic figures—including General George Custer, Wild Bill Hickok, and Calamity Jane. 
    Some treasures are buried in the earth. Others are buried in the heart. 
    Some whispers echo through time. 
    This is one of them.

    Twenty-five-year-old Seminole Toby Tiger lives in despair in the Florida Everglades. He loves the land and everything that exists in the natural world: the deer and egrets, turtles and herons, cypress trees and sawgrass, ponds and marshes, and, most of all, Allapattah, the crocodile. He watches helplessly as the white man imposes his will on the Seminoles, forcing them either to conform or to eke out a living wrestling alligators and carving trinkets for tourists. According to Toby, the whites "destroy all that they touch." Toby refuses to bend to the white man's will and fights back the only way he knows how. He becomes Allapattah, a creature that earns his respect and protection.

    Along the way, she discovers unexpected friendships, community, and the possibility of love—reminding her that even in the toughest landscapes, hope can take root. 
    Perfect for fans of frontier history, strong female leads, homesteading stories, and American West historical fiction, Lone Tree Claim is a moving tribute to resilience, independence, and the brave women who shaped the westward expansion. 
    Step onto the prairie and experience Katie’s unforgettable journey of hardship, heart, and triumph.
