As royal ambassador to the English crown, Viscount Ellsworth has only one objective in Prussia: to secure the support of their previous allies. With France on the verge of revolution, eastern Europe a hotbed of unrest, and his own country embroiled in a bitter war with the American colonists, the last thing on his mind is finding a wife. But when presented with the opportunity to marry the bewitching daughter of the Lord Overseer in Strausberg, Viscount Ellsworth cannot deny the attraction he feels for the bright young noblewoman, nor the political advantage such a marriage could bring.Born the eldest daughter of a Prussian princess, Margareta Rodenburg has beauty, power, wealth--and a mind of her own. Despite her mother's careful guidance, Greta is headstrong and defiant; more concerned about the handsome Hans Schneider than in being a dutiful daughter. When her father arranges a marriage between herself and a foreign dignitary, Greta refuses to comply, and determines instead to run off with the man she loves. But is chasing the freedom her heart longs for worth the risk of losing her family, her home, and the life she has always known? This is the third book in the Journeys of the Heart series, but it is a stand alone story. You do not need to read the previous books before reading The Rodenburg Girl.

At nearly thirty years old, Eleanor Eves is a confirmed old maid-and a rather wealthy one at that. She enjoys her independence, relishes her position, and delights in serving the people of Littleton. But when the reclusive Mr. Cartwright returns to town after eight years abroad, she finds herself the unwilling delegate volunteered to welcome him into the neighborhood. Not only is he shrouded in mystery, but Albert Cartwright is horribly disfigured, and carries a reputation for being somewhat of a brute. With Christmas on the horizon, a holiday bazaar to organize, and her aging father to care for, can Eleanor make room in her heart for Mr. Cartwright as well?

Eleanor Cartwright has everything that money can buy, but no laughter to fill her empty home and no children to fill her empty heart. With her brother's new wife running the bazaar, caring for the parish, and chasing after her own children, there is little for Eleanor to do but sit at home and nurse her broken heart. When a terrible disease strikes the town, Eleanor jumps at the chance to help her ill neighbors, not caring about the risk to her own health and not realizing the risk to her heart. But when people start to die, Eleanor must decide if she has the courage and strength to open her home, and her heart, to one suffering even more than herself.
