The Douglases
Two charming tales, one great love.

Loving Lieutenant Douglas
Take a trip back in time, to 1785, when Horatio Nelson was a new captain. It is the Age of Sail, England is on the brink of war with France, and Royal Navy First Lieutenant Mark Douglas is not looking for a wife. As is so often the case, fate has other plans, and Mark sets his sights on a fiery society miss with a spirit to match his own. But can he redeem himself after inadvertently insulting his prospective bride?

Lady Amanda Gascoigne-Lake is at first smitten with and then disappointed by the impeccable naval man. After all, is it not a woman’s prerogative to change her mind? When a soldier disparages her reputation, Mark defends her honor and wins his lady. What happens when her father rejects Mark’s suit, and an ancient brooch with mystical powers portends doom?

A Very Brethren Christmas
Admiral Mark Douglas is a career naval man, dedicated to duty, who just wants to get home in time to spend Christmas with his family. After a broken carriage wheel stalls his trip, Admiral Douglas must improvise his travel arrangements, when he is thwarted, time and again. Follow the adventure, as Admiral Douglas rediscovers the importance of family traditions and the true meaning of Christmastide.

If you’re a fan of the Brethren books, you don’t want to miss this charming little Regency take on the classic holiday film Planes, Trains, & Automobiles.
