My Review
It's the second book in the series, but may well be read as a stand alone It 's a good historical novel, full of mystery, romance, humor and adventure. It's compelling and addictive, you can not put it down until it is finished. Mack and Cassie are two very strong: she is a girl determined intelligent and rebellious, he is the classic hero, able to solve any problem. Cassie's father is an inventor and to save his life Mack, Director of the Ministry of War has hidden. Cassie seeking the father and will not give respite to Mack until it has obtained what she wants. Between the two will alternate moments of love and moments of hatred but the chemistry between them is wonderful. To read for those who love historical romance romantic  **** Interview

1.Where are you from?

I was born in the Panhandle of Texas and moved to North Texas 15 years ago.  I live in the picturesque community of Granbury that sprang up along the Brazos River with a square built around the courthouse.  

2. What do you love most about writing?

 I love being able to bring two people together despite their adversities so that they live happily ever after.

3. Who or what influences your writing?

 My mother is also a writer and I grew up watching her write, but it was truly when I was in college that I got my first idea for a book.  I love taking events that happened in history and incorporating them into my stories.  To me, it makes them seem more alive.

4. Do you have a favourite book or author?

My all time favorite book is Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.  In one book, she managed to get so many elements into it.  My favorite part is when Professor Bhaer professes his love to Jo under the umbrella.  *sigh*  I am also a huge fan of Diana Palmer, Amanda Quick, Johanna Lindsey, and Jennifer Ashley.

5. Can you tell us what you are working on next?

  I am currently working on the third book of The Rogue Agents trilogy.  This is the story of Liam and Megan.  Liam has been presumed dead for the last several years and Megan was forced to move on with her life.  Now they find themselves back in one another’s lives, yet they are each untrusting of one another and the people they have become.  Both have past issues they are having to face, and of course, in the process there is a threat to them and their future.

About the Author

From a young age I could always be found carrying around books to read while watching my grandmother's soap operas with her. I read anything and everything I could get my hands on and even made up skits and stories for my friends and me to act out. Once I outgrew the children's and YA books, my mom introduced me to an entirely new world - contemporary romance. Upon discovering I had a love for history I began devouring historical romances. One day, sitting in a college British History class, something the professor said made me think, I wonder. I quickly called mom (also a writer) and ran the idea by her. After being told, "Of course you can do it, you're my daughter," the rest, as they say, is history. I currently share my love of reading with the next generation as a high school librarian, and share my personal life with my demanding dog trapped in a cat's body, Ajax.
