A MOONLIGHT PROMISE
by Laurie Alice Eakes
Steamboat romance finds our heroine, Camilla
Renfrew,
when she responds to a letter inviting her to a position in America. On the run from a dismal and dangerous turn in her English family's
noble standing, Camilla accepts. Her leap to board the departing steamboat perfectly symbolizes the leap of faith her future requires. Consequences of her late destination arrival turn suspenseful
when the boat is targeted, damaged, and delayed by Captain Black's unscrupulous
competition. A perfect combination of Ms Eakes' trademark of intriguing adventure and
romance.

LESSONS in LOVE by
Ann Shorey
Twenty
year old Merrie Montgomery prefers spending her time writing than marriage
market socializing. Complications abound when her signature is mistaken
to be that of a male by the publisher of her writing who invites 'Mr' MM
Bentley to meet him at the publishing co.
Merrie relies on scheming that results in
hot water for more than just herself.
Lessons in the learning...

I
shuddered at the Kipler's Home Weekly advice single Merrie wrote for married
women, yet realize it may have been in keeping with religious thought of the era.
Colin, her piano teacher and romantic interest, is well drawn and though of a
lower life station, he is definitely providing an attractive, albeit complicated, addition to Merrie's life...

ONE LITTLE WORD by
Amanda Cabot
Not accustomed to
failure, being compared to a 'useless ornament' incenses Lorraine to prove
herself. With her inheritance and future hanging in the balance, her motivation
gains strength.
A beautiful
progression as Lorraine develops from the socialite who received her brother's invitation with that secret plea, to then become a
woman of depth and dignity with a heart that's willing to defy convention for
what she's come to believe in.

A SAVING GRACE by
Jane Kirkpatrick
Grace receives a note from her 8 year old god-daughter appealing for Grace to help her mother who's
gone away for a health program, but isn't getting well. Can she deny a friend in need?
Grace is unprepared for the true condition of her friend
and, wary of those running the sanatorium,
escape becomes her plan.
Unsure of the hotel guest who's captured her attention,
she's unwilling to let him in on her plans.
Though that might not have been such a bad idea
when Grace finds herself under lock and key...

Very satisfying collection of novellas, each offering
a unique plot, resulting from that simple act
of opening a letter received in the post. . .
