With a baby on the way, it should have been the best Christmas ever for Evie Stanton. Instead, she finds herself a widow, and alone in a strange town.

Marty offers to marry her, and give her and her baby a home.

It’s almost too perfect until Evie hears rumors about Marty’s past.

She finds it impossible to reconcile the handsome, wonderful man she knows, with the dark and dangerous man she is told about.

For Evie, her choice becomes one of uncertainty. Marry a man with a questionable reputation, or find herself homeless with a new baby.

It’s Christmas time and Eriah Jameson has returned home to restart his family’s business. Due to his wild-child past, no one is friendly or welcoming to Barrow Haven’s black sheep.

Aylin Meyers lost her job when Eriah’s father took ill. She knows Eriah needs her help getting his business up and running again. But she doesn’t trust him. If he fails, she knows it will dishonor his father’s memory.

Aylin knows that at Christmas, it’s the right thing to help your fellow man – no matter how wretched he might be.

As Aylin gets to know Eriah, she sees a different side of him that the town never saw. Perhaps the black sheep has changed forever. Still, can she be sure this side of Eriah is real, and not just a facade he’s perfected over time to get his way?

Maria, or the Wrongs of Wonan Audiobook inclusion!!

 I was offered a very unique opportunity by Chawton House which is a manor house in Hampshire, here in England, once belonging to the brother of Jane Austen. It is now a museum and learning centre. 

Chawton House put together their first audiobook for Mary Wollstonecraft’s 18th century unfinished novel, Maria, or the Wrongs of Woman. If you are not familiar with Mary Wollstonecraft, she was the mother of Mary Shelley, who wrote Frankenstein. 

I was able to read chapter 8 for the audiobook.
