  Two hearts. One dangerous deception. A love worth fighting for. 
  Charlotte Edgewood is no ordinary heiress. With a mind for business and a spirit too independent for London society, she's resigned herself to spinsterhood—until her younger sister is targeted by the manipulative Lord Hargrove. Desperate to protect Amelia from a loveless marriage to a dangerous man, Charlotte will risk anything, even her reputation. 
  William Sears came to London to establish his American shipping company, not to fall in love. When he catches Charlotte breaking into his warehouse, he's intrigued by her intelligence and courage. With evidence suggesting Lord Hargrove is using their businesses for smuggling operations, William proposes an audacious solution: a false courtship that will give them both access to the information they need. 
  As they navigate elaborate balls and clandestine investigations, their pretend romance awakens feelings neither expected. But when their scheme unravels at the docks, William must make an impossible choice between protecting Charlotte's reputation and preserving his own. With Charlotte kidnapped and bound for Gretna Green against her will, William races against time to rescue the woman who has captured his heart. 
  Set in the glittering ballrooms and dangerous docks of Regency London, An Heiress Worth Rescuing combines the intrigue of smuggling operations with the passion of unexpected love. This thrilling fifth installment in the American Heiress Series can be enjoyed as a standalone romance.

  A banker asks Holmes to investigate after a "Beryl Coronet" entrusted to him is damaged at his home. Awakened by noise, he had found his son, Arthur, holding the damaged coronet. Arthur refuses to speak, neither admitting guilt nor explaining himself. Footprints in the snow outside the house tell Holmes that the banker's niece had conspired with a blackguard to steal the coronet; Arthur had discovered the crime in progress and the coronet had been damaged during his struggle to prevent it being stolen. He had refused to tell his father the truth of the crime because of his love for his cousin.

  Coronation Day, 1902. Charles and Kate Sheridan are pleased to be witness to the crowning of their king. Expatriate author Jack London is also watching the festivities—but with a more skeptical eye. He has come to London to write an exposé of the East End slums—and the coronation has not tempered his disdain for the monarchy. This special day takes a sinister turn when an anarchist accidentally blows himself up with a bomb meant for the king. Charged with determining the extent of the danger facing the Crown, Charles and Kate turn up a number of intriguing—and disturbing—questions. And then there is the matter of the mysterious, beautiful Charlotte Conway, editor of the anarchist newspaper where the dead man was employed. On the run from Scotland Yard, she takes refuge in Kate and Charles's home—and in Jack London's arms. All of which makes for a very interesting investigation indeed...

  An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
  But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
  Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.
