Oh, I love this author! Great historical romance and suspense set in the Tampa Bay Area in 1894 featuring famous Floridians like Thomas Edison and Henry Plant.
A fun, fast read!

This was a nice change from the Zebra Gothic Romances! The story takes place in the late 1800's in what is now the state of Florida. I appreciated the moral tones of this book about a minister's niece who finds herself in the middle of a family in crisis along with some intrigue and danger! A good read!
