About this series
Secret Service agent Clay Timmons arrives in Mount Pleasant, Ohio, in 1876 to track purchases made with fake currency. Every trail leads back to Stephen Dee Richards—and therefore, Emma Draycott.
Emma has a soft spot for underdogs like Stephen and soon agrees to marry him.
But within a week, he leaves to “make his fame and fortune.” The heartbroken Emma gives him a special fountain pen to write to her, and Stephen does with tales of grand adventures.
Clay is soon in hot pursuit of Richards, crisscrossing Nebraska and Iowa. Can Clay convince Miss Draycott she is engaged to a charlatan who is now being linked to several deaths out west before Stephen returns to seal their vows?

- The Black Midnight
7
Two killers, two detectives, and a menace called "The Black Midnight" may be the death of both of them. Three years before Jack the Ripper began his murderous spree on the streets of London, women were dying in their beds as The Midnight Assassin terrorized the citizens of Austin, Texas. Now, with suspicion falling on Her Majesty’s family and Scotland Yard at a loss as to who the Ripper might be, Queen Victoria summons her great-granddaughter Alice Anne von Wettin, a former Pinkerton agent who worked the unsolved Austin case, and orders her to discreetly form a team to look into the London matter. The prospect of a second chance to work with Annie just might entice Isaiah Joplin out of his comfortable life as an Austin lawyer. If his theories are right, they’ll find The Midnight Assassin and, by default, the Ripper. If they’re wrong, he and Annie are in a bigger mess than the one the feisty female left behind when she departed Austin under cover of darkness three years ago. Can the unlikely pair find the truth of who is behind the murders before they are drawn into the killer’s deadly game? From Texas to London, the story navigates the fine line between truth and fiction as Annie and Isaiah ultimately find the hunters have become the hunted.
