Imagine an American doctor, a widower who in 1903 finds himself in a far away tropical place. Dr. Gerald McAllister is a doctor involved with a cholera epidemic in Ubec, Philippines. A widower, he thinks only of work and is a somewhat brittle overly serious man. When he meets the flirtatious Agustina, life changes for him.

Woman with Horns is historical fiction set at the turn of the century in the Philippines. It is also a love story and is part of my collection, Woman With Horns and Other Stories, available in Kindle. Please post a review for the book in Amazon. 

 Woman with Horns is very popular among students and many have posted skits in YouTube based on this story. Check it out. 

I am working on collecting all my short stories and novella into one collection, so watch out for the Collected Stories by Cecilia Manguerra Brainard.  

PS. I'm always looking for an international publisher.

Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong? *** It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed. Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out? Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
