An ancient Egyptian artifact is driving Queen Victoria insane, and that’s not top of Cara Devon’s growing list of problems.
Viscount Nathaniel Lyons is a man of numerous secrets, but there is one in particular that threatens his fledgling relationship with Cara. Stunned by Nate’s revelation, and before she can absorb the ramifications of his actions, he is arrested, charged with treason and imprisoned in the grim Tower of London. He stole something the mad queen wants, and only has days to deliver, before his date with the executioner.
Only together can Cara and Nate figure out how to wrestle Hatshepsut’s Collar from around the queen’s neck, before she plunges Britain into a world war.

Viola Doyle, a carefree Victorian girl, is far more interested in riding her bicycle and hearing about her grandmama’s adventures than in making a good marriage, much to her mother’s dismay. However, when she acquires a magical pin and bumps into a handsome historian, things get more interesting than even Viola had planned.
And then, of course, there is the dragon…

If one’s heart is constructed of metal, can love still find a place within? That is the question facing Henry who spends over a hundred years pursuing the woman of his dreams.
After Henry and Emily become recipients of artificial hearts, we follow their journey from 1875 to the present and Henry’s quest to convince Emily to become his bride. Will Henry’s pursuit be successful or will Emily ultimately “break” his indestructible heart?
A tale of romance more than science fiction, Wind-Up Hearts will tug at the strings of your heart whether it be mechanical or flesh and blood.
