The second instalment of The Iceberg Trilogy, Come What May, continues the story of Samuel and Rebecca Dalton through the lives of their children, most notably, their beautiful, troubled daughter, Evangeline - Gene to all who knew and loved her. In 1951 - the summer of her eighteenth year - Gene embarks on a northern odyssey with her eldest brother, Jonathan. Under the northern lights they travel as part of a medical expedition to remote Cree settlements across the grand Canadian wilderness. There, she encounters people and events that will influence her life forever, including the unflappable Sonny Marlow, a young pilot not long returned from Europe where he served as part of the Allied forces in the Berlin Airlift operation. Drawn together by love but kept apart by her fears, theirs is a tumultuous relationship that is as unpredictable as the woman Gene becomes. From the Saskatchewan prairies to the Rocky Mountains, from James Bay to Vancouver, life and love holds many surprises and trials for Gene and Sonny. Only when Gene can walk away from the devastating shadows towards the light can she and Sonny live the life that held such promise when they were young and on the edge of love. ADVANCE PRAISE "So much wonderfulness in this book" Library Thing Reviewer PRAISE for SELDOM COME BY, Book 1 of THE ICEBERG TRILOGY Descriptive, detailed and quite the page-turner, Seldom Come By focuses on the lives of Samuel and Rebecca (and their families), the beginnings of their romance, their separations, their ups and downs. A very good debut and one well worth reading for lovers of historical fiction and romantic historical fiction alike. Romantic Historical Reviews Seldom Come By is the beautiful story of Rebecca and Samuel. I adore historical novels and this is one of the most well written ones that I have read in a very long time. This book was just like the icebergs that the author described: beautiful, breathtaking and the story just flowed much like I imagine the icebergs do through the water. I would highly recommend this book for historical fiction lovers. I can't wait for the rest of the trilogy! Goodreads Librarian Seldom Come By is an exquisite tale of love and loss, forgiveness and healing. I want no NEED the next book NOW! The Eclectic Reader I fell in deep with the main characters and really cared about what was happening with them, but also the people around them. It sucked me in, gave me heart palpitations and made me think about them and how to get back to them when I wasn't reading. THAT was what I was looking for. The last half of the book was beautiful and heartbreaking and romantic. I'd definitely recommend this book if you like historical romance. I will definitely be reading the next two books in the series although this one stands well on its own. The Book Bosses

If you crave epic, adventurous love stories, then meet Samuel and Rebecca and the iceberg that started it all. Two years after the sinking of the Titanic, fifteen year-old Rebeca Crowe's fascination with icebergs leads her to save a shipwrecked survivor, Samuel Dalton, the nineteen-year old son of a Toronto medical family. Love sparks in the crystal cave of an iceberg but is thwarted by an unreasonable father and the Great War that drags Samuel and his brother, Matthew, to the Western Front as medical officers. Knowing Rebecca is home safe in Newfoundland brings Samuel great comfort. But as the war moves towards its final harrowing days, they both discover that tragedy and terror can strike anywhere, setting their love on an unforeseen path. Only when Samuel and Rebecca can fully come to terms with such devastating loss and their impossible choices can their love soar. With an emotional intensity reminiscent of The Bronze Horseman, Seldom Come By, named after an actual place in Newfoundland, is an unforgettable journey across waves and time and the full spectrum of human emotions. "Seldom Come By is a haunting love story set against the windswept coast of Newfoundland. The story draws you in from the opening lines and takes you on a compelling journey across time and continents, through love, loss, heartache and healing. It is a beautiful and memorable story - a great accomplishment and a wonderful read." Julie Fison, author of teenage romances in the Hardie Grant 'Smitten' series "I read the first chapter of Seldom Come By in the Romance Writers of Australia's Ripping Start Competition and was immediately taken in by the beautiful descriptions, world building and the unique and soulful characterisation. And now that I've had the opportunity to read it all, I can say the whole book is wonderful, a real pleasure to read. The quality of writing is excellent and the story atmospheric and intriguing. Brilliant, absolutely beautiful." Babette Furster, Romance Writers of Australia, Ripping Start Judge 2013 "Great job on creating that 'fogged-in' atmosphere that Newfoundland is famous for. I have lived that 'fogged-in' feeling many times. The iceberg was an amazing scene to experience. That sense of longing and yearning that followed was palpable. And from there the tension and excitement just grew, with scenes that were wrenching, breathtaking and moving." Leah Sparkes, native Newfoundlander "I loved the style of this book and the blossoming romance between Samuel and Rebecca. Their intense love for each other reminded me of Tatiana and Alexander. This book has a slow build then at a certain point it takes off and it is absolutely gripping. You are on the very edge of you seat. Your mouth is open. I admire Rebecca's strength to prevail through heartache and sadness, tragedy and loss and her toughness as a younger woman living in Newfoundland. Some scenes were particularly moving - tears down my face. This book has it all. I was enthralled. I simply could not put it down!" Su Sprott, reader "Set on the edge of Newfoundland, Seldom Come By tells the love story of shipwreck survivor Samuel Dalton and his rescuer, teenage Rebecca Crowe. The author's breathtaking descriptions of sea and landscapes and the historical setting drew me into the first few pages of the book but the relationships between the characters kept me reading. A shocking event that occurred about halfway through the book compelled me to finish the book in only two more sittings. I feel that the book's themes of love, loss, forgiveness and healing would make it a terrific book club pick and lead to great discussions. I look forward to reading the author's next two books in this series." Rochelle Braun, reader
