A Patriot’s Love by Diana Tobin
Danielle Reigh has her future planned. She is about to begin her dream career as a physical therapist. When she discovers an old trunk in the attic of the building that’s being renovated for her clinic, she finds a ring. Though she only means to try it on, she gets more than she bargained for when she is suddenly transported to 1775 America.
Joseph Webster never believed the tales his great-grandfather told of those who could travel through time, but the proof seems to have landed at his feet. Not knowing Dani’s purpose in coming at a time of war, he hides the ring until he can decide what to do with his unexpected apprentice. Before long, he finds himself in love with Dani, and faces the decision of whether to tell her he has the ring, or let her go on believing it to be lost.
As Dani learns to adjust to the 18th century, she and Joseph plan a future together. But these are dangerous times…fraught with uncertainty. When the two lovers are caught in the midst of a Revolutionary War battle, Joseph must take the chance of sending her back through time—to modern-day Maine.
In a bittersweet reunion with her family, Dani refuses to say where she’s been. Who would believe her? She tries to move on with her life, even as she mourns the loss of her one true love. Can she recapture the excitement she once felt for the career she cherished? Will she ever be able to find happiness and love in her own time? She has to face the fact that it may never happen for her, now that she’s had A PATRIOT’S LOVE…

FacebookAbout the author:
I’ve devoured books since childhood when I saved my allowance for the next Nancy Drew. Even then I expected Nancy and Ned to do more kissing than crime solving, but, alas, that wasn’t to be. Moving on to historicals, more mysteries, and romances where I learned things, the puzzle got solved, and happy endings for the characters. One of the best things with on-going series is getting to check back with those characters. The HEA is great, but I want to know what comes next.
My favorite school assignment was making up a story. As you might guess, the written word is important to me. So is creativity. Besides writing mine has included baking, cake decorating, crochet, knitting, gardening, scrapbooking, and most recently, quilting. I’ve learned this creativity bent comes naturally from my mother’s side of the family. Many of whom I’ve come to know and love while living in Maine the past two years. We’ve traced our roots back over three hundred years.
Life is an adventure. For me, part of the adventure is seeing my grandchildren flourish, and, as always, the next creation: grown, sewn, or written.
Here is a short sample from the book:
Danielle tried, unsuccessfully, to suck in a breath as pain radiated from head to toe. Had she died? Should being dead hurt this much?
A not-so-gentle nudge to her ribs had her pulling in that desperately needed breath.
Had Bethanell come back and hit her? “Get out,” she mumbled.
“Ye lazy lout! I’ve no time for you to be napping. There’s work to be done.” A sharper nudge followed the words.
“Ow! Please…stop.” She raised a hand to her aching and confused head only to find the hat had fallen over her face. No wonder the world turned black. She pushed the hat off and blinked her eyes, trying to focus on the face above hers. “Wh-who are you?”
“Your master.”
“My what?” she shrieked and sat up, then grabbed her head as the room spun again.

Adultery by Maurilia Meehan
Ailsa took a deep breath. “Now, I didn’t come here to make a scene. I’m a practical woman. I trained as a zoologist. I understand men’s urges.”
And she does. Pragmatic and world-weary, Ailsa Trewen has confronted several mistresses over the course of her marriage to the philandering Sid. But her plans for an animal sanctuary and a quiet future take an unexpected turn when Sid’s death in the arms of his latest lover leaves her a wealthy widow and she invests in a thriving hotel.
Not just any hotel, but Hotel d’Amour, a luxurious retreat for the businessman and the ‘other woman’. If a quirk of fate can make Ailsa head such an establishment, she might as well put her position to good use. Over gourmet dinners at her ‘mistresses only’ nights, her clients shed their inhibitions and share their experiences, telling tales of lust, envy and revenge as they explore the agonies, ecstasies (and ironies) of adultery. And with shared experience comes some peace, and the promise of another kind of sanctuary for Ailsa… wickedly amusing entertainment.
