  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

  Strong-willed Annabelle Stirling is more than capable of running the family draper shop after the untimely death of her parents. Under her father's tutelage, she became a talented cloth merchant, while her brother Wesley, the true heir, was busy philandering about Yorkshire. Knowing she must change with the times to survive, Belle installs new machinery that finishes twice the fabric in half the time it takes by hand. But not everyone is so enthusiastic. 
  Soon, riled up by Belle's competitors, the outmoded workers seek violent revenge. Her shop destroyed, Belle travels to London to seek redress from Parliament. While there, the Prince Regent, future King George IV, commissions her to provide fabrics for his Royal Pavilion. As Belle's renown spreads, she meets handsome cabinetmaker Putnam Boyce, but worries that marriage will mean sacrificing her now flourishing shop. And after Wesley plots to kidnap the newly-crowned King--whose indiscretions are surfacing--she finds herself entangled in a duplicitous world of shifting allegiances. 
  Painting a vivid portrait of life in the British Regency, Christine Trent spins a harrowing tale of ambition, vengeance, love, and complex loyalties against the dynamic backdrop of the early Industrial Revolution. 
  This is a reissued version. 
  By the King's Design is Book 3 in the Royal Trades series.

"Forged in Fire and Blood" plunges into this maelstrom through the intertwined destinies of three unforgettable characters. 
  Declan Brody, a veteran haunted by past wars, sought only a quiet life on his Texas homestead. But as tyranny tightens its grip, from the defiant stand at Gonzales to the legendary siege of the Alamo, he is forced to take up arms once more. His journey through the revolution’s most brutal battles, including the Goliad Massacre and the pivotal charge at San Jacinto, becomes a testament to human resilience and a harrowing exploration of the true cost of conflict. 
  Catalina "Lina" de la Garza, an educated Tejano woman from a respected San Antonio family, initially places her faith in the Mexican Constitution of 1824. But as Santa Anna’s centralist regime crushes federalist hopes and incites brutal conflict, she witnesses the siege of her beloved Bexar and endures the terrifying hardships of the Runaway Scrape. Torn between cultures and loyalties, Lina’s spirit awakens, transforming her into a courageous advocate for her people in the turbulent aftermath of war, fighting for their place in a newly forged, uncertain republic.
