    About this series

    No Such Thing as Luck:
    The only woman John Thornton ever loved has gone to London and forgotten all about him. Aching for what he lost, he doesn't have time to grieve because his cotton mill is on the brink of financial collapse. Margaret Hale has thrown away her only chance at love. She longs for what might have been, and wishes more than anything for one more chance to see John Thornton. When a coincidence brings them back together and an accident forces them to depend upon one another, will they learn the path to true love is more than luck?

    Northern Rain:
    Margaret Hale never even considered John Thornton's rash proposal of marriage before rejecting it. Now, she has had time to consider, and to regret. But it's impossible to reconcile when he avoids her at all costs. A chance encounter when he is most in need of a friend might just shatter the misunderstandings that have kept them apart. Is friendship even possible after all they've been through? And when John has to weigh the future of the mill against the hope of a future with Margaret, will love win?

    Nowhere but North:
    Haunted by sorrow and regret, Margaret Hale has lost everything. She risks the little she has left on the heart she once shattered—hoping somehow to win back his respect, if not his love. Since he was a boy, John Thornton has fought the consequences of his father's mistakes. Resolved to overcome past failings and the disdain of the world, he has striven for wealth, respect, and personal honour, but he is denied love. Now, all he had previously gained is slipping away, but he cannot resist a second chance with the woman he once lost. Can the pieces of their broken pasts be enough to build a solid future?

      What began as a last-chance goodbye becomes the future she never dreamed possible. John Thornton is facing the collapse of everything he has worked for all of his life. The only woman he ever loved has gone to London and forgotten all about him. Aching for what he lost, he doesn't have time to grieve because his cotton mill is on the brink of financial collapse. Through his banker, he hears about a business opportunity that could save the mill. His only hope is to investigate, even if it means traveling to Spain when he can least afford it. Margaret Hale is haunted by regret. Both her parents have died, and she has thrown away her only chance at love. She longs for what might have been, and wishes more than anything for one more chance to see John Thornton. Margaret is surprised by a letter from her godfather Mr Bell, who is visiting her brother Frederick in Cadiz, Spain. Bell is dying and asking to see her before it is too late. For a chance to set something right, Margaret is determined to sailregardless of the risk. An accident on the docks leaves Margaret injured, and throws them together on the same ship. John, resolved to protect Margaret's honour despite their painful history, claims to be her brother to keep her safe. Unfortunately, pretending to be Margaret's brother proves more difficult—and more dangerous—than he ever could have imagined. No Such Thing as Luck is a fade-to-black Victorian Romance featuring the characters from Elizabeth Gaskell's beloved North & South.
