Lady Louisa Barrick will do anything to save her estate and the village that depends on it, but when she tries to use a rakish privateer in her scheme, things don't turn out as planned. A duke masquerading as a privateer ... Jonathan Derek Wentworth has a scheme of his own: to track down the ton-based smuggling gang responsible for his father's death. When he's caught in a compromising situation with Lady Louisa, he decides it's better to marry her than to risk being ostracized by the London society whose invitations are vital to his plan. But Louisa refuses to marry him, unless he meets her terms, one of which is a month-long reprieve from consummation. Intent on seduction, Derek doesn't count on his unexpected jealousy wreaking havoc with his emotions, his marriage, and his masquerade. Lucy, still grieving the death of her father, wants desperately to avoid another heartbreak, but fears she may have schemed herself into a marriage with the one man destined to break her heart: a man who isn't what he seems, who obviously can't be trusted, and who will surely leave her the first chance he gets.

She's more than ready to make a fresh start and to discover just who she really is. An unexpected letter arrives, opening the door to opportunity and adventure. This could be just the chance Lucy's been waiting for. But conflicts arise, and she finds herself pulled in many different directions. Lucy needs to find work and build a new life for herself. She also feels compelled to forge a relationship with Opal, the enigmatic grandmother she hasn't seen since she was a child. The strong willed Opal is determined to connect with Lucy while there's still time. Will Opal reach Lucy and manage to pass on her mysterious legacy before it's too late? Lucy's journey has many twists and turns as she falls in love, attempts to find a new career, and mends a deep family rift. "An engaging read about a woman who finds her identity after ending a long relationship. Filled with romance and humor, each page will leave you wanting to read the next."- Nicole Garber author of The Coming Apart series.

She gives a fascinating introduction to the subject of First Peoples Petroglyphs of the Northwest Coastal Region - BC, Washington, Oregon and Alaska. Beth Hill and her husband Ray have traveled the coast for close to 20 years, recording the known sites, and discovering others. Out of this came Indian Petroglyphs of the Pacific Northwest, with over 1,000 photos and illustrations. A truly comprehensive study.
