I'm busy working on rewrites for my next book that I'm so excited to share with you early this next year...the second (of three) books in the Belmont Mansion series.
Here's a quick preview....
Can't wait to share this book with you, friends.
It's currently available for pre-order here.
About the book:
Eleanor Braddock, a spinster--plain and
practical, no stunning Southern beauty--has long since dismissed any hope of
marriage. But when a dying soldier whispers his final words, she believes
her life can still have meaning and determines to find his widow. But this
compassionate deed takes a harsh turn, and Eleanor finds herself dependent upon
the richest woman in America and the most despised woman in Nashville--her
aunt, Adelicia Acklen, mistress of Belmont Mansion. A clandestine act of
kindness leads Eleanor to an unlikely path for her life--building a home for
destitute widows and children from the Civil War. And while Eleanor knows her
own heart, she also knows her aunt will never approve.
Rudolf Marcus Gottfried, Archduke of the House of
Habsburg and fourth in line to the Austrian throne, arrives in Nashville in
search of a life he determines, instead of one determined for him.
Collaborating with botanist Luther Burbank, Marcus seeks to combine his own
passion for nature with his expertise in architecture. But his plans to
incorporate natural beauty into the design of the widow's and children's home
run contrary to the wishes of practical, frugal Eleanor, who sees his ideas as
costly nonsense.
Yet as the construction project continues, Marcus
and Eleanor find common ground--and a love neither of them expected. But Marcus
is not the man Adelicia has chosen for Eleanor to marry, and even if he were,
someone who knows Marcus's secrets is about to reveal them all.
