The Suffrage Spinsters Series
Tired of being ignored and treated as inferior members of society, the brave women of the mid-1800’s decided to do something about it. They banded together to initiate what is now known as the Suffrage movement – the decades-long fight for women to achieve the right to vote. The stories in this fictional romance series feature strong heroines of this era who were unwilling to give up their collective voice in order to discover true love.

And in Rollie's Riddle...
Rolinda Wheaton—or Rollie to her friends—is a journalist at the
Whispering Pines Echo, the local weekly newspaper. In fact, she’s the only journalist, since she inherited the paper from her parents. Her brother Paul owns and operates the town livery. Rollie is a strong supporter of women’s suffrage, but her brother is against it. Rollie has been a spinster so long she’s given up any foolish notions of marriage, and instead focused on her business, her career, and her passion. She attends a gala event where she meets Lucas Brant.

Lucas Brant is looking for a wife—one that will make him look good when he runs for state senate for 1896. He needs somebody who is the complete opposite of himself: self-assured, well-educated, able to rub elbows with the posh of Whispering Springs and Colorado Springs, even Denver.

When Paul is arrested for transporting stolen gold bullion and tossed into jail pending the circuit court judge coming the following week, Rollie is determined to uncover the culprit. A lead about a senate contender sends her chasing after her story, where she meets Lucas Brant again. He is smitten, but she’s not so sure. Or so ready. She has her life planned out: get the vote, get the story, and find who really stole the gold. Except the more time she spends with Lucas as she unravels the story, the more her heart is drawn to him.

When it appears Lucas and the gold are connected, can Rollie untwist her heart strings? Is she doomed to love a rascal? Or can God make sense of both their lives?
