Love and Murder in the Time of the Tudors: Two Novels of Romantic Suspense set in sixteenth-century England
Unquiet Hearts was first published in 1994 for the Harper Monogram line. It is 1562 and Thomasine Strangeways has returned to Catsholme Manor in Lancashire to fulfill her mother's deathbed request. She expects to encounter her old friend and protector Nick Carrier, but the presence of witchcraft and murder come as an unpleasant surprise. The gatherings of women in the nearby wood are pretty innocent . . . until a man gets involved. The reviewer in Rendezvous wrote "Plan on some real excitement as you read this unique tale."
The Green Rose was first published in 1994 by Harper Monogram and is set in late 16th century England. It is a tale of love, spies, murder, the theater, and a betrothal of convenience. Meriall Sentlow, an impoverished young widow, enters the service of a distant relative, Lady Dixfield, after her neighbor, Sir Grey Neville, refuses to help her, but their paths are destined to cross again, and he's anything but cold toward her when next they meet. Romantic Times called it "an engaging tale of suspense and passion."
Also included are three short stories dealing with crime in in sixteenth-century England: "The Blessing Witch," "The Cunning Woman," and "Mistress Threadneedle's Quest."
