About this series
Marigold Devlin hadn't planned on spending more than one year as a governess. Much as she loves the Chambers children, she's looking forward to her own marriage and family—until the children are tragically orphaned.
By the time her letters catch up to the girls' globetrotting uncle, her contract is long expired, and her impatient fiancé has broken their engagement. She tries to hide her disappointment behind cool, even frosty respect for her new employer, when he finally arrives. But his haunted eyes thaw her heart a few cautious degrees. And she burns with guilt for her uncharitable thoughts.
Gordon Chambers doesn't plan to stay in Cape May long enough for any painful memories to take hold—until he realizes there's a thriving boat business to sell, two charming nieces who tug at his heart, and a flame-haired governess who seems determined to go above and beyond for everyone except herself.
As Gordon works through an ever-shifting list of priorities, Marigold sparks a tender longing for something more than his solitary existence. But when he learns someone has once again betrayed his trust, the pain threatens to send him back into shadows too dark for love to reach.

1
Falling for the Wrong Man As the daughter of the glassworks owner, Meg Jordan knows her role is to manage her father's home until she marries well and sets up her own household. But Meg dreams of doing something significant such as building a school and bringing education to the children of their rural New Jersey community. Marriage would interfere with those plans, so when she meets her father's new glassblower, Meg knows falling for him will destroy her dreams. She does not know it may also destroy his life. A Dangerous Start Colin Grassick seeks a new start as a glassblower in America. Reluctantly leaving his family behind in Scotland, he arrives at the Jordan glassworks with one plan—save enough money to bring his mother and siblings to America. He believes only then will he correct his past mistakes. Falling for the boss's daughter may compound the consequences of his youthful blunder, and may get him killed. The Right Path With kittens, purple glass goblets, and danger drawing them together, Meg and Colin forge a bond that could give them the desires of their hearts or crush their dreams of a better future.
- The Heiress: The Glass Goldfinch, #2
2
When Susan Morris buys a glass goldfinch bottle from a desperate young man, she thinks she is merely adhering to her aunt's admonition to "buy something pretty" for herself. Instead, she has just taken the first step toward the change in her life she has longed for—an adventure, a purpose, and love. Daire Grassick is the only member of his family who has failed in their glassblowing business—failed in business altogether. He has failed so badly he has to sell the glass goldfinch, a family treasure, in order to have enough money to get home to his ailing father. What he doesn't realize is that, in selling the first gift his grandfather gave to his grandmother nearly fifty years earlier, he sold the formula for royal crystal. Without that formula to fulfill an order, the generations-old family business will be ruined. Finding the lovely young lady to whom he sold the goldfinch isn't as difficult as Daire feared. Finding the goldfinch is another matter. It has disappeared from Susan's chaotic home. When they set out to locate the bauble, neither realizes they have set in motion a series of events that will change lives and hearts potentially for generations.
