All week long she'd tried to convince herself that she, Christy Steele, Aunt Martha's properly brought-up niece, could do such a thing -- confront a man shed barely met with a personal and deeply intimate request. Now a warning flashed through her mind, tangible as a flare: Don't go through with this harebrained scheme. Cancel the appointment. Yet an hour later in his executive office, she faced the urbane, unsuspecting Mark Brandon. And with an almost physical shock Christy heard herself say, "I want to have a child, Mark.

From the day she turned sixteen and discovered the secret of her mother's past, Nicole Rainard's life was inextricably bound to a country and a house. The country was England. The house -- Lynmara.

Yet it was her love for this man that brought Nicole back to serve England during the war years, and ultimately claim the heritage that was always hers -- Lynmara.... THE LYNMARA LEGACY -- a rich, romantic tale of life among the wealthy and titled English during the 1930s and World War II.

For seven years Paxton Andrews would write an acclaimed newspaper column from the front before finally returning to the States and then attending the Paris peace talks. But for her and the men who fought in Vietnam, life would never be the same again.
