Just when it looks like seventeen-year-old Kaiawyn Morrissey might finally be allowed to spend her first summer on her own at home on Oahu, she's instead sent to Maui to once again pass the three-month school break on her aunt and uncle's estate. But if Kaiawyn thinks she's suffering some tragic turn of events, she'll soon discover her pain is nothing when compared to the truly life-altering situation being faced by her one-time-friend-turned-tormentor, Kamuela Miller. As the two are thrown into the unexpected challenge of having to find a way to survive the summer together, will they be able to put the past behind them to help each other get through the present - and even move toward whatever their futures hold? 'From Behind the Rainbow' is the author's fifth full-length novel.

Still reeling after the recent, untimely death of her beloved husband Thomas, young Mrs. Catherine Cravens has embarked on an audacious new course by accepting a time-sensitive proposal from her friend, the Earl of Lanark, Lord Alexander Stevens. But timing has yet to be on their side, and a summons requesting the earl's immediate return to Clan Stevens' ancestral home in Scotland makes it clear that some things may never change. Forced to decide between following the earl -- and possibly jeopardising the plan by ignoring a previous agreement -- or remaining safely at Suttonley Hall in England, Catherine makes the only choice her heart will allow. But no matter the circumstance, the couple is far from alone, and with the help of the people who care for them the most, the two may finally have a chance at their happy ending. The third installment in the English Garden Series, "When An Orchid Blooms But Once" begins where the previous volume, "A Rose Between Two Thistles", ended.

When she discovered that her first true love, the earl of Lanark, Lord Alexander Stevens was to marry another, Catherine Billington's simple world seemed to come crashing down. Despite their disparate stations in society, the young Englishwoman had allowed herself to believe in a future where the two of them belonged together. While her feelings for the Scottish earl may never truly fade, her undeniable attraction to Lord Lanark's equally handsome friend and business partner, the amiable Thomas Cravens, might not only serve to distract her from the heartbreak she's been dealt, but offer a real chance for the promise of companionship and security that she thought was lost forever. Is it possible to be in love with two different people at the same time, or is there always a dangerous element of betrayal in such entangled feelings? And will Catherine and Thomas's interest in each other eventually destroy their complicated individual relationships with the earl? The second chapter in The English Garden Series, "A Rose Between Two Thistles" brings the reader right back to the moment where the well-received first volume, "In An English Garden", left off.

As the daughter of a prominent horse breeder, Catherine Billington's early life amidst the beauty of the English countryside has been rather uneventful until the death of her most beloved brother changes everything. While her middle-class existence had previously left her with few complaints and even less intrigue - save the weekly visits from the preacher's dull son - the untimely appearance of a rather mysterious new earl begins to complicate all of her social events. Uncertain of his intentions and determined not to fall prey to his infamous charm, Catherine's plan is thwarted by fate's intervention when she and the earl are thrown into each others' company by a terrible accident. Will Catherine be able to save her reputation from ruin, or will her time with the earl destroy her chances of returning to respectable society? Or worse still, what if he's not at all what he seems, and her previously simple life becomes even more complicated? The first in a new series, "In An English Garden" is the author's debut novel. Set in the years between the Regency and Victorian periods, it was written for anyone who loves "Pride and Prejudice" (but may find the language of Austen a bit cumbersome for a contemporary pleasure reader), and the story remains true to the social conventions of that era while still creating engaging characters and an enjoyable tale that transcend their own time.
