  The fourth book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.
  
  The battle continues in the new British colony of Australia: the fight for power as well as survival. The corrupt military officers are doing everything they can to gain legal and political power, while the governor is finding it difficult to carry out his duties.
  And Jenny Taggart, now freed from her convict status, is fighting hard for her family, her redemption, and her new country.
  
  Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later — ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy — they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.

  Leaving the misery and difficulties of the Overland Trail behind, Cornelia Rose expected a happy welcome to her new life in the Great Salt Lake City. Instead, she steps into a bees' nest of new challenges. 
  Tensions between the Mormons and the U.S. Government escalate sharply in 1857, just as Nellie and her growing family arrive in the Great Salt Lake City. Plunged into the fracas of two forms of government at cross-purposes, Nellie settles her family into their new home while trying to discern the origin of the threats to her very existence. Her husband, Obadiah, begins his judgeship in the county, navigating around his own formidable obstacles. But can she trust he will share the information only he is privy to? 
  Nellie is forced to interact with those she opposes both politically and morally. How can she create a safe home for her children? Must she abandon all hope of speaking her mind? 
  EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a fascinating historical tale. Although a dynamic part of our United States history, before the Netflix series American Primeval, little was remembered about the Utah War. This tale omits the gore but provides the historical context of the turbulent time. Journey back in time to the 1800s, with the fourth book in the award-winning "Journey of Cornelia Rose" series, combining the best of historical fiction, women's fiction, and the Old West pioneering spirit as one woman seeks fulfillment in her life. 
  “Collen’s narrative style intertwines historical accuracy with contemporary emotional understanding. Her writing is sharp and witty, interspersed with touches of humor and deep reflection… This historical novel is deeply personal and moving. Collen has achieved another remarkable success.” ~ Feathered Quill Book Reviews, Alma Boucher

  He’s arrogant and handsome… But is he a spy? 
  Miss Caroline Barnes is shocked to discover she has a secret family she’s never met! Aristocratic Mr Hartwell tells her of her cousin’s lonely plight, and Caroline reluctantly agrees to visit Julia at the gothic sounding Canons Grange. 
  Her stay in the English countryside is more intriguing than she expected, with smugglers, secrets, and the dashing but mysterious Mr Bell, as well as delightful walks and a faithful if naughty dog! It would be perfect if not for the vexing Robert Hartwell, with his cryptic knowledge of details about the war and furtive nighttime activity. 
  Could the man who, for all his sarcastic ways, she’s coming to admire and even love be a traitor working for the enemy? Who should Caroline trust? 
  With spies, the Napoleonic war, and warring siblings, The Country Cousins is a standalone romance featuring cameos of beloved characters, human and animal, from The Country Gentleman. A sweet and clean romance perfect for fans of charmingly detailed historical romance like those by Georgette Heyer and Mimi Matthews.

  From USA Today bestselling author Audrey Blake comes a story of love, hope, and perseverance, following one woman's fight against an invisible enemy. 
  One woman physician. A group of talented midwives. A deadly disease spreading. 
  1849. Dr. Nora Gibson is the only female surgeon in London. In all of England, even. After earning her medical degree and overcoming the prejudice of those who wished to see her fail, she's finally earned her place at the Great Queen Street Hospital alongside her newlywed husband and her eccentric but ailing adoptive father, the great Dr. Horace Croft. 
  But peace is hard to come by as a physician, and for one like Nora, it's almost impossible. When Nora takes up the fight to bring midwives into the medical field, her already fragile reputation comes under fire by colleagues and London society itself. And if the possibility of losing her rights to practice medicine wasn't enough, a dangerous enemy has made itself known: the deadliest cholera epidemic in over a century. It's a swift disease that wreaks havoc and tragedy across the city, especially amongst the working classes, and Nora will do anything she can to help. Soon, she finds herself on the frontlines of the disease, and as those around her begin to fall, she'll have to find the strength to stand alone and maintain her greatest oath: to save lives. Whether she'll make it through, though, is up to fate.

  "Middlemarch" is a novel by George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans, published in 1871-72. Widely regarded as one of the greatest novels in the English language, it is an intricate portrait of a provincial town and its inhabitants. The narrative explores the lives, ambitions, and relationships of several characters, with the central story revolving around Dorothea Brooke and her marriage to the older, pedantic scholar, Mr. Casaubon. Eliot uses the microcosm of Middlemarch society to provide astute commentary on politics, women's rights, marriage, idealism, self-interest, and the constraints of societal expectations.
