Keeping Katerina: The 1840s is a time of increasing social awareness, particularly for progressive cotton mill owner Adrian Bennett and his son Christopher.

But is Christopher's tender affection enough to help Katerina heal her broken spirit?
Devin's Dilemma: Brighton, England, 1856. For young solicitor Devin Bennett, building his career is his foremost goal. The last thing he expects is Harry: an intense, intelligent and interesting girl Devin can't stop dreaming about. But Harry is hiding something from him, something that might tear them apart and whisk her off to the far side of the world. From the sea-swept beauty of Brighton to exotic Bombay, the Bennett family saga continues in another tale of love beyond the limits of injustice.
Colin's Conundrum: Colin Butler is in deep trouble. Years of hard work and frugal living have finally failed, leaving his estate on the brink of disaster.

Meanwhile, Daisy Grainger - an innkeeper’s daughter in a small town - is looking for a comfortable life away from the man her father has been trying to convince her to marry. When the two meet, instant attraction turns to complications, as a series of misunderstandings leaves the couple married, consummated and trapped. Can Colin and Daisy work together to bring hope in the darkest of situations, or will the unlikely couple meet a rocky end?

Simone Beaudelaire
In the world of the written word, Simone Beaudelaire strives for technical excellence while advancing a worldview in which the sacred and the sensual blend into stories of people whose relationships are founded in faith but are no less passionate for it. Unapologetically explicit, yet undeniably classy, Beaudelaire’s 20+ novels aim to make readers think, cry, pray... and get a little hot and bothered. In real life, the author’s alter-ego teaches composition at a community college in a small western Kansas town, where she lives with her four children, three cats, and husband – fellow author Edwin Stark. As both romance writer and academic, Beaudelaire devotes herself to promoting the rhetorical value of the romance in hopes of overcoming the stigma associated with literature’s biggest female-centered genre.
