Edwardian Stories

As Amelia Marie Rostron steps aboard the RMS Titanic, making history as the first female officer, she is met with a lukewarm welcome from her fellow crew members, particularly her mentor, First Officer Murdoch, who wasn't exactly thrilled about working with her. However, during the voyage his initial indifference with her deepens as Amelia's fiery temper and unwavering determination clashes with his own. As they gradually develop mutual respect for one another, the boundaries between professional duty and sexual attraction become blurred, leading them to question what matters most, their careers or their feelings for each other. As tragedy unfolds around them, the officers must prioritize the safety of the passengers above their own survival. While their lives hang in the balance and the magnificent vessel descends into the icy depths of the Atlantic Ocean beneath them, will they still manage to overcome the odds together and live to see daylight?

1913. As the Russian Empire celebrates three hundred years of Romanov rule, Lady Maeve Fitzgerald travels from Ireland to Russia with her family to forge a partnership between Glenara's renowned hunters and the Imperial Orlov stud at Zalesye. What begins as a discussion of horses soon becomes something far more personal. Far from the glittering ceremonies of St. Petersburg, Maeve discovers a family unlike any she has known. Grand Duke Alexander and Grand Duchess Elena have built a life where duty is balanced with laughter, where loyalty is earned, and where their children-from thoughtful Andrei to spirited Natalia and the irrepressible twins-welcome the Fitzgeralds into a world that slowly begins to feel like home. As Maeve and Andrei's quiet friendship deepens into something neither expected, both families find their lives becoming increasingly intertwined. But beyond the warmth of Zalesye, Europe is changing. Ancient alliances are shifting, old certainties are beginning to crack, and the future of empires-and the families who serve them-will soon be tested in ways none of them can imagine. Some bloodlines are inherited. Others are chosen. And the strongest families are built by both.

As the wife of George Banks, Winifred struggles to balance her responsibilities in a traditional household with her growing passion for the women's suffrage movement.

But beyond her domestic duties, Winifred emerges as a fierce advocate for women's rights. Joining forces with other suffragettes, she participates in secret meetings, organizes rallies, and bravely faces the dangers of civil disobedience. Her journey is one of courage and conviction, as she battles not only for the right to vote but also for her own voice in a world that often silences women. As Winifred fights for justice, she must also confront the growing tension within her family, particularly with her husband, whose views on the suffrage movement challenge their marriage.

Votes and Valor is a powerful tale of a woman's quest for equality, capturing the spirit of an era where the fight for justice took center stage.

Their families? Struggling with their situation, the children are further dismayed to discover the world in which they are now trapped is slowly dying. An ancient evil writhes in an endless void, the seals of its prison weakening day by day. Its corruption seeps from deep below, draining the life from all it touches --draining the world itself. The children can't lose another home, not so soon, not when the faintest hope of returning to it still flickers. But are what they to do?

He said with excitement and surprise. "Henry!" She sighed "you nearly frightened me to death!" Henry chuckled and walked beside her, keeping pace. "I wasn't sure it was you." He admitted and she nodded. "Why are you out so late?" He asked curiously. "I was with Victoria and Natalee. I lost track of time. I left before supper but it seems I've taken longer than I intended." She sighed and Henry smiled turning to her. "You're welcome to come to my house for supper!" He joked. "That is hardly appropriate!" Charlotte scolded. She noticed something then, something odd. "Henry... your eyes..." she exhaled. He turned away quickly. "What about them?" he mumbled. "They're so dark." "The street is dark." he said a bit coldly. She bowed her head and had a tingle creep up her spine telling her something was not right. Henry paused and looked down at her, she stopped and the feeling grew to a stomach flop. * I do not own the picture used as the cover but all characters belong to me and the universe of my book series.
