RAILROADED IN KEY WEST
Charlotte (Charley) Harris is a Pinkerton agent who goes undercover as a newspaper journalist to find a notorious train robber rumored to rob the inaugural trip of the Oversea Railroad to Key West. Allen Walker works security for Henry Flagler, the owner of the railroad, and takes on the persona of a photographer to ferret out any potential sabotage to the train’s success.
What will happen when Charley and Allen suspect each other?
Is the danger only to the train, or are their hearts in danger as well?
BETWEEN TWO WORLDSWhat happens when a trained nurse/midwife goes up against a Voodoo queen?
New Orleans, 1890
Camille Duval has been a trained nurse and midwife for a short time in Charleston when she loses both her parents, and her uncle Claude Duval insists she come live with him in New Orleans. When wealthy Vincent Rousseau hires her as a midwife for Adelaide, his young bride, Camille has no idea she will come up against Madam Lafleur, the local voodoo queen, who has staked her claim on the pregnant woman and her future child. How can Camille convince Adelaide to trust her instead of voodoo for the health of her baby? Can she enlist the help of the young family physician, Julian Charbonnet who apparently is not interested in what he sees as women’s affairs?
Julian Charbonnet graduated from Tulane University in medicine just two years ago, and he has gained the respect of the wealthy residents of New Orleans’ Garden District. When the Rousseau family hires a midwife for their future heir, he is surprised to discover the midwife is a pretty young woman instead of the usual old ‘grandma’ for the birth. But Camille Duval surprises him even more with her knowledge of medicine as a nurse. However, Miss Duval doesn’t know about the hold voodoo has on those that employ it, nor does she know the power Madam Lafleur wields in the city. Julian is content to stay out of the conflict until he finds out that not only is the baby in danger, but so is lovely Miss Duval, a woman who has unintentionally cast her own spell on him.
