Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors as a reader you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Michelle Griep!
Writes:
Michelle Griep writes richly immersive historical fiction brimming with adventure, romance, and intrigue. Whether whisking readers through the shadowy alleys of Victorian London or the rigid social circles of Regency England, her stories pulse with tension, heart, and faith. With a knack for crafting complex characters and vividly atmospheric settings, she blends danger and devotion into page-turning tales that keep readers riveted until the very last word.
Her new release, OF SILVER AND SECRETS transports you to the English countryside where the mistress of a derelict estate in need of funds and a down-on-his-luck college professor team up to unearth precious artifacts—but both are hiding more secrets than a Roman dig.
About:
Lover of all things old-fashioned (except dental work), Michelle Griep is on a never-ending quest to bring history to life—preferably with a brooding hero, a dash of danger, and just the right amount of swoon. Fluent in Regency etiquette, Victorian intrigue, and the fine art of making characters suffer before their happily ever after, she’s got a soft spot for scoundrels with redemption arcs and heroines who refuse to sit quietly in drawing rooms.
When she’s not penning heart-pounding historical fiction, you’ll find her sipping tea, hoarding books, or plotting ways to time-travel—if only to get firsthand research on those corset struggles. If you’re into witty banter, candlelit suspense, and love stories that stand the test of time, swipe right on one of her novels—you won’t regret it!
What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:
- Loves Victorian-era settings with a touch of mystery, romance, and adventure.
- Enjoys strong, determined heroines who defy expectations while facing personal struggles.
- Is intrigued by archaeological digs, lost treasures, and ancient legends woven into a historical backdrop.
- Appreciates a brooding, intellectual hero (bonus points if he’s a Cambridge professor with something to prove).
- Thrives on slow-burn romance filled with unresolved tension, past regrets, and undeniable chemistry.
- Loves stories with depth, faith, and redemption, where characters confront their pasts to build a new future.
- Prefers historical fiction with high stakes, emotional depth, and a satisfying resolution.
- Is a fan of Michelle Griep’s signature blend of rich storytelling, faith-infused themes, and swoon-worthy romance.
What to expect if we’re compatible:
- Sweeping historical settings that transport you straight into the past, from Victorian London’s foggy streets to Regency ballrooms and beyond.
- Brooding, complex heroes with hearts of gold buried beneath layers of mystery and duty.
- Strong-willed heroines who refuse to be mere ornaments in society, fighting for their families, futures, and sometimes even their own survival.
- Faith woven seamlessly into the story, offering hope, redemption, and depth without feeling forced.
- Romance with tension and longing, filled with electric banter, stolen glances, and undeniable chemistry.
- Unexpected twists and danger, because what’s historical fiction without a little peril and intrigue?
- Meticulously researched historical details that make you feel like you’ve time-traveled—without the discomfort of corsets or chamber pots.
- A guarantee that once you finish one book, you’ll immediately be hunting for the next.
Time's Lost Treasures #2
Buried underneath are truths bent on keeping them apart. . . .
In 1889 Victorian England, Eva Inman is haunted by guilt over her parents' deaths while struggling to care for her blind sister and manage her family's crumbling estate. With the tax deadline looming, Eva's situation looks dire until an ancient silver ring is unearthed on the property. Despite superstitions warning against disturbing the supposedly cursed acres, Eva's need for funds ignites her curiosity about the potential of finding more buried relics.
Cambridge professor Bram Webb must prove a legendary Christian Roman settlement exists, or he'll risk exposing his uncle's deteriorating memory and they'll both lose their positions. Then Eva steps into his office with the prospect of an archaeological dig that might lead to the very evidence Bram requires—provided he and Eva can set aside painful memories of a time both would rather forget. As the dig forces the two to confront their pasts, the work becomes fraught with challenges that threaten both Eva's and Bram's hopes, as well as the growing attraction between them.

Michelle Griep has been writing since she first discovered blank wall space and Crayolas. She seeks to glorify God in all that she writes--except for that graffiti phase she went through as a teenager. She resides in the frozen tundra of Minnesota, where she teaches history and writing classes for a local high school co-op. An Anglophile at heart, she runs away to England every chance she gets, under the guise of research. Really, though, she's eating excessive amounts of scones while rambling around a castle. Michelle is a member of ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers) and MCWG (Minnesota Christian Writers Guild).
