About this series
Lawrence Reilly, the son of Tryniti and Sean, finds himself alone and broken in so many ways. As the American Civil War rages around him, the wounded man falls to the beauty of Zerelda Armistead. Will her healing touch renew the spark within him or will he succumb to a broken heart?
In September of 1862, Zerelda tends to the cornfields of her family's farm in Sharpsburg, Maryland. After getting stuck in the crossfire as the Confederate and Union troops converge on her town, she stumbles upon a Union soldier, freshly wounded and in need of care. As a Union sympathizer, Zerelda takes him in. What she never expected was for a young lady like herself to fall in love with an older man.
Lawrence is a man set in his ways and convinced that life is cold and incomplete after losing his wife and child to smallpox. After deciding not to return to the Caribbean where his family's shipping business waited for him, Lawrence left Gettysburg, ready for the war to take him. But life has a way of making demands when we least expect it, and this world isn't finished with Lawrence just yet, having thrown Zerelda into his path.
Through the horrors of war, this tale is told through their passionate letters and thoughts, letting fate tie them together once more.

- The Black Rogue: Brooke de Láuront, #1
1
Her heart may belong to the sea, but when duty calls, Tryniti Brooke de Láuront sacrifices her desires for a life on the throne. But did she make the right choice? Tryniti has all the class of a well-trained, French royal and the fortitude of a sea-fearing pirate. This combination leaves those around her reeling and bowing before her whether she wants them to or not. However, her dual life holds many dark secrets, one of which only her family knows: that she isn't any old pirate but The Black Rogue, a.k.a. the most fearsome swashbuckler who ever sailed the seven seas. Her dreams of sailing until the end of her days are cut short when she receives a letter from her uncle, King Louis XVI, demanding her return so that she may marry and take her place on the French throne. Tryniti's entire world is thrown into chaos as she finds scoundrels and familiar faces within the court. One of which is Captain Sean Reilly, the man her uncle has procured for her hand in marriage. Now, she must sift through traitors and lovers while fighting for her right to rule, whether that's all of France or the seas her heart belongs to. The Black Rogue sets sail on a tale of love, betrayal, and sparks are flying more than just cannon fire.
