Although I grew up in Idaho, I now live in Portland, Oregon It's a great place to write, because the rainy season lasts for eight months, a perfect excuse to stay indoors and tell stories. Flowers bloom in the Gladhaus garden every month of the year and snow usually stays on the mountains where it belongs. I have four children, three granddaughters, one grandson, and a husband who supposedly retired a couple of years ago, but still invents and builds interesting little gadgets.
Buffalo Lachlan promised a dying man he'd find a lost twin, and he's been following nebulous clues and vague rumors halfway around the world ever since. His search leads him to Astoria, Oregon, the cold, rainy winter of 1873.
In all his wanderings, he has only once before seen eyes winter-sky blue like Siri Trogen's. Could she be the lost sister, heiress to a barony? Before Buff can find proof, he becomes caught up in her hunt for her stolen children. Inexplicable accidents and unexplained disasters complicate their efforts. Is someone trying to prevent Siri from finding her children, or him
from finding the missing heiress?
Shared danger drives them into each other's arms. Shared adventure teaches them that they each have a streak of recklessness, a core of courage, and a heart full of love to share. But before they can make any decisions about
the future, they have to find Siri's children, prove she's the lost baroness...and stay alive.

Two sisters, one Season. Chloe won't be content with her first Season unless she catches the eye--and the heart--of the ton's most wealthy, most handsome, most interesting bachelor. And she has no intention of sitting around waiting to be noticed. Phaedra just wants the Season to end so she can return to the country, unburdened with anything so useless as a husband. The only thing interesting about London is its cultural treasures, which she intends to sample liberally.
The men in the sisters' court aren't quite sure what to make of them. Lord Wilderlake is intrigued, Mr. Dervigne intends seduction, the Earl of Everingham is enchanted, Mr. Martin wants a big sister, and Reggie Farwell is merely amused. Faced with such an assortment of suitors, how can Chloe and Phaedra realize their dreams? Only time--and the course of true love--will tell.
Welcome to Whiterock, Oregon, where peculiar happenings are taken for
granted.
Whiterock is where Sally Carruthers is stuck, nursing a dying father. She
used to have a career and a bright future. Now all she has is an old house
and a mending and alterations business that barely brings in pocket change.
Whiterock is where Gus Loring seeks forgetfulness. To find it, he'd have to
do the impossible and forgive himself. Once he was a successful engineer, on
the fast track to fame and fortune. Now he delivers laundry to dreary towns,
until it's time for him to run again.
Whiterock is where people are from, because there's nothing left to hold
them there. Every year more of the stores on Main Street close, and every
year more of its young people leave, to find their fortunes somewhere else.
Yet somehow it endures.
So perhaps there's something more to Whiterock than dusty streets, shabby
buildings, and discouraged residents, because everything changes when Gus
and Sally find each other. The future once again holds hope and promise.
