  Lizzie Somers is a widow with means. But instead of retiring to her country estate, she’s off to London in search of a husband.

Then Lizzie enters his world and stamps herself onto his heart.

But he’s not alone. Enter Graham Stewart, a distant relative with similar claims to the map and an equally stubborn sense of adventure. 
  What begins as a classic treasure hunt quickly turns into a delightfully unpredictable romp through palm trees, misunderstandings, and unexpected romance. As the two rivals dig through more sand than secrets, they discover that sometimes the real treasure isn’t gold—it’s the journey, the laughter, and the company you keep. 
  The Treasure on the Beach is a breezy, charming escapade filled with wit, sun, and heart—perfect for fans of old-school adventure and romantic comedy alike.

  Destiny of Dreams - Time Is Dear

  What happens when an American girl of Eurasian descent finds herself suddenly immersed in all facets of her Armenian ancestry?   “Destiny of Dreams” follows the painfully poignant, true story of a teenager and her grandfather, retracing loving, learning, and terrifying footprints of the past.  While survival remains center stage, love and courage must emerge, or all will be both lost and forgotten.   The author reveals her Armenian roots in this haunting historical novel, chronicling her family members’ love, strength, and resolve to both survive and thrive in treacherous times.   Reflecting the traumas suffered by all people displaced from their original homelands, this Armenian story focuses on one family’s challenge to find light in the dark days of the waning Ottoman Empire.   Anyone with the diaspora in their family heritage will relate.   Whether thinking of Jewish people from Israel, Africans scattered through slavery, Armenians fleeing annihilation in Turkey, so-called boat people escaping Asia, or Syrians fleeing life-threatening violence in their own nation, humans continue to rise up in the face of the toughest times. Who would emerge from extraordinarily desperate places, and how could they choose to set positive examples of humanity during highly inhumane times?   Set in the early 1900s and flashing forward to the 1960s, the story’s themes ring with tolerance and intolerance, dreams and destroyers, family and friends, amidst challenges that eerily parallel life in current judgmental scenarios.Written for Young Adult and Adult audiences, the book contains some explicit descriptions and a couple of disturbing, though not graphic, violent scenes.  While not gratuitous, the depictions may be unsuitable for young readers.
