Scarlett & CasparThe end of the Napoleonic wars comes as a relief to Caspar Graysmark, but before he can settle into the comfortable life of an English lord he has a duty to the people of France. A treasure lies hidden in the heart of the forest, stolen gold that would save the lives of many who lost everything during the war. In his quest, Caspar stumbles across a hidden cottage in the woods, and a different sort of treasure altogether. Scarlett, living with her sister and grandmother, belongs nowhere. Her father’s mistakes led to their exile from England and their banishment into the forest. The cold winter months have taken their toll on Scarlett’s spirits and her grandmother’s health. The Englishman who arrives at Scarlett’s door, looking more like a bear than a captain of the British army, reminds her of all she lost to the war. With winter drawing to a close, Caspar must find the missing gold, but his quest to right the wrongs of war has changed. Can Scarlett let him rescue her, too?

This book is something of a dream come true, because it is the first I've published in a series created by four of my best friends.
In January 2018, I met Joanna Barker via an online author group. The group was organizing authors who wrote in similar genres into critique groups. Joanna and I scrambled to pick who we most wanted to work with and we chose three ladies to join us - Arlem Hawks, Heidi Kimball, and Megan Walker.
These four women have become some of my closest friends, and the people I trust the most with my work. We exchange our chapters and spoke online several times a month, then we started chatting on a daily basis via messenger, and before long we were planning to attend author conferences together.
We've become a close-knit group. We do more than write together - we support one another through thick and thin.
At some point in 2018 we started talking about writing a series together, and that series has become a reality.
The Captain and Miss Winter is the second book in our multi-author series. The theme of this series is Fairy Tale Retellings. We have all chosen a fairy tale to inspire Regency novellas. I chose to retell Snow White and Rose Red, recorded by the Brothers Grimm. I hope you enjoy it!
