Hope UnShackled

Redemption Series Book Two

     With strict penalties enacted under the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act, Olivia Pratt, now widowed, makes a family promise to end her dangerous abolitionist activities and close her safe house, an Underground Railroad station that has harbored numerous runaway slaves for years before her husband’s death.

When a desperate runaway appears needing shelter, Olivia’s heart won’t let her refuse. As family turmoil grows, sadistic slave catchers arrive in town in search of the fugitive.

Olivia faces the deadly consequences of her broken promise when the catchers terrorize her daughter, ignite murderous rage in one son, and leave another near death. Still, the slave catchers are determined to collect their bounty.

What follows is both a heart-breaking and heart-warming story of a family healing from grief, terror, and destructive secrets in a world where the hope of freedom for all dwells only in shadows.

He discovers that she can bring him something money can’t buy, his birthright lost to him when his father was falsely accused of treason.

A Spirited Regency Christmas

 

Damien Reeves grudgingly agrees to take over as host for his ailing Uncle Lionel’s planned Christmas celebration to be held at the Blackmoor Inn outside of London.  Holidays hold only painful memories for Damien since his family’s horrific tragedy two years earlier. Spending a snowy weekend catering to a party of elderly couples, promises to be more tedious than his preferable solitude.  That is until his uncle tells him of the mysterious petty thefts that have occurred among guests over the past year. He suggests that Damien might be able to solve the mystery.  When an enticing young woman arrives with her elderly aunt and uncle, Damien begins to think it might not be as dreadful a holiday as he’d predicted.

Tessia Bennington looks forward to spending Christmas at the Blackmoor Inn with Aunt Jane and Uncle Harold. Ghostly tales told about the legendary inn have fascinated her. Since the man she expected to marry begged off after hearing of her meager dowry, nothing but disappointment has been her constant companion.  Damien’s advances are difficult enough to ignore but unexplainable occurrences leave her wondering if there might be a ghostly guest asking for her help. Neither Tess nor Damien could have possibly imagined the outcome of their adventure—the bizarre events, the frolicking escapades of the aged partiers, or the thieving culprit’s identity.  Will they part with memories of an unforgettable Christmas or shed their defenses and find true love?     BUY NOW ON AMAZON
