I’m thrilled to be a part of Berkley’s blog tour of Isabel and the Rogue. The three heiress Luna sisters were sent from Mexico to England to protect them during the French Occupation. Isabel is the sister who is easily ignored and dismissed during social events. It makes her the perfect spy to snoop in aristocratic homes during parties for British intelligence that may help Mexico during the war. Captain Sirius Dawson is a spy for the home office befriending foolish politicians and seducing well-born ladies to learn their secrets. He catches Isabel snooping in an office and it is on.

I enjoyed this book, which is the first in a new historical fiction romance series. It follows a family of 3 sisters who are the illegitimate daughters of a wealthy NYC man who is a member of one of the founding families of the city. Their father refuses to recognize them, but when his mother dies, she leaves each girl a huge inheritance. Their father sees this as a way to get the women out of NYC, so he states they can’t inherit until they find suitable husbands out of the City. So, the girls head to England to find a titled husband.

I’m so happy to be a part of the AustenProse PR book tour for this book published by Thomas Nelson. It’s out now, so check your favorite bookstores for a copy.

This is a beautifully written book inspired by real accounts of the Coventry Blitz of WWII. It’s set in the early 1940’s but has flashbacks to before WWI and during WWI. Amos and Lady Charlotte were childhood friends that supported each other’s dreams. Amos loves books and yearns to further his education, but as the son of a farmer, he knows that will never happen. Charlotte loves playing the cello but her mother forbids her from playing, especially in front of other people. Each is in love with the other, but when they age Amos has more responsibilities on the farm and Charlotte is forced into a loveless marriage with the Earl of Harcourt. She has one daughter, Eden, who is fiery, outspoken, and fearless. An attorney from the U.S. visits the town and tells Eden he’s suing her, which brings up family issues.
