Romance Historical

She risks everything to deliver gold to the Confederacy.

Lillie Coulbourne marks time in Paris while the Civil War rages back home. While translating dispatches for the French Finance Ministry, she accepts a spy mission through the Union blockade. When the captain of the only blockade runner headed back to a Southern port won't deal with women, or spies, she sneaks aboard as his cabin boy.

He refuses to risk his ship, or his heart.

Blockade runner Captain Jack Roberts has never been caught, and he's not about to let a spoiled American heiress ruin his perfect record. After he discovers her deception, he fails miserably at keeping her at arm's length and vows to send her packing on the first mail ship back to England.

When she surprises him with her skill as a seaman and navigator, he grudgingly allows her to finish the run. But ultimately, he has to choose what is closer to his heart - Lillie or his ship.

Re: Fortune's Horizon

Sounds like a great book to read!
(Nyala Edwards 10:38am February 17, 2015)

The type of hero that I prefer is the honorable one most of
the time, but he doesn't have to come across as the strong
type in the book. If he's more of the silent type, I enjoy
reading about that type - the one that sort of moves in the
shadows, and shows his strength when necessary, would be the
best way to describe him. That's when he can ooze heat, as
you describe it. The bad boys are fun to read, too, but it
would really depend on my mood, since my reading takes me
"all over the map." If I'm in the mood for that type of
book, that's when I enjoy reading about bad boys.
Otherwise, I enjoy the simpler type of love stories. I'm
looking forward to reading your books, and have put them on
my TBR list. They both sound like good reads!!
Congratulations on both of them!!

I like seeing different personalities come to life between the pages of a book... so I enjoy the many types of heroes out there.
(Colleen Conklin 12:22pm February 17, 2015)

Thanks for the feedback, ladies. Heroes are a romance writer's bread and butter.
I want to make sure mine become your favorites.
(Andrea Stein 12:24pm February 17, 2015)

I like the honorable hero best.
(Pam Howell 7:42am February 18, 2015)

Heroes need to be the strong, commanding type with a little humility and a humorous outlook on life.
(Linda Harrison 10:21am February 18, 2015)

Sounds like an interesting alternative to Regency or
Victorian England. I like heroes with a code of honor,
even though it may simply be their own. A rake ready to
be reformed is always my choice. Reliability and
unselfishness are important traits.
(Irene Menge 1:17pm February 18, 2015)

I'd perfer the one with honor.
(Nancy Luebke 5:27pm February 18, 2015)

Wow, sounds like you are having a very exciting life and we get to enjoy all the excitement in your books .Both books sounds really exciting, and I hope to read them very soon.
(Joan Thrasher 7:28pm February 18, 2015)

Any hero must also be honorable.
(Mary Hay 10:59am February 19, 2015)

This sounds like a great book. I like an honorable hero.
(Wilma Frana 11:18am February 19, 2015)

I liked your thoughts on heroes.
(cHARLETTE bOND 11:24am February 19, 2015)

In real life, I prefer the one with honor, but I enjoy reading about either type. Both can add excitement and adventure.
(Anna Speed 12:08pm February 19, 2015)

Very different kind of story combining my old love American
historical and European historical. A very intruiging
combination.
(Marie Scearce 3:19pm February 19, 2015)

Would love to win this book!
(Denise Austin 3:20pm February 19, 2015)

I prefer an honorable and steadfast hero.
(Seanna Yeager 3:22pm February 19, 2015)

True heroes are what is missing from the world today!
(Richard Burr 4:46pm February 19, 2015)

Thanks so much for sharing a little of your life & your so
talented writing!! I love an honorable hero ... seems most of
them are in historic novels for some reason! Thanks also for
the chance to win this great read!
(Kathie Banks 5:38pm February 19, 2015)

I prefer a hero who is both brave and honorable!
(Connie Saunders 6:49pm February 19, 2015)

So many traits should be in someone called a hero...honorable
is the main one.
(Glenda Hefty 7:31pm February 19, 2015)

Can't wait to read it!
(Amber Kuehn 11:03pm February 19, 2015)

All kinds of heroes are acceptable and welcomed. Depending on my
mood, of course. After all, I would be the owner of the book, their destiny, in
a way. Excuse my pettiness. Just my mood. But it seems that real heroes
and even rogues with a code of honor only exist in romance novels. The
real world is sadly lacking in these kind of people. I look for them because I
have read about them hoping to find one. No such luck yet.
(Kantu Malhotra 3:49am February 20, 2015)

Character is important in my hero---and he has to have a great speaking voice. I definitely want a masculine voice for my hero; not loud, but in the lower ranges.
(Flora Presley 4:20pm February 20, 2015)

Thanks for sharing with us. How exciting your real life is. :)
As long as there is compassion, humor and loyalty he becomes
my Hero. I like all kinds of heroes. I am also going to enjoy
reading your books because both of your Heroes appeal to me.
