. . . Jennifer Crawford, the peacekeeper in a well-to-do Boston family rife
with anger, deceit, and even treachery,
was born to solve mathematical mysteries at a time when women are only
beginning to venture from home and into the world of commerce and politics.
Beautiful and shy, she struggles to find the courage to face a scheming mother
and guide a father denying their familial dysfunction, hesitant to traverse the
volatile economics banks are facing at the turn of the twentieth century. But
danger threatens when she discovers the crimes of an abusive man determined to
make Jennifer his own.
Zebidiah Moran, chief
of staff for a new senator in Washington, is determined to uncover the lovely
Jennifer’s secrets and guard her from danger. But will his sacrifices be enough
to keep her safe?

Excerpt
Two:
Zeb walked into the dining room, knowing at first glance
that it was large and elegant, nothing like the alcove where he and Max had
grabbed their meals at the Hacienda when not eating in the kitchen. In his
peripheral vision, he saw Jolene rise from her place and walk toward him. But
his eyes, his focus, had been arrested by a woman seated directly across from
the chair a servant now held for him to be seated in. Jennifer Crawford.
They stared at each other, for some long moments, Zeb
thought, before he inclined his head and spoke her name. Her lips moved but he
could not hear her whispered response. She was as stunningly beautiful and as
outwardly delicate as he remembered her, with her golden hair piled casually on
her head and her long lashes wafting furiously around sea-green eyes as she
returned his regard.
“Miss Crawford,” he repeated. “It is good to see you. You
are looking very lovely.”
It was then he remembered someone stood at his side.
“Jolene,” he said and turned then to her, taking both of her hands in his. “It
is very good to see you again, too.”
Jolene’s eyebrows arched. “Really, Zebidiah? At first I
didn’t think you knew I was even in the room.”

ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting! I'll stop by later and we can gab about books!
ReplyDeleteWhat made you decide to sit down and actually start something?
ReplyDeleteI have stories in my head, I always have. One of the first books I wrote, Train Station Bride, is the first book in this series. I saw a young blonde woman, petite, dressed well, clearly nervous, and arriving by train at a busy station, looking around as if she didn't know what to do next. She was Julia Crawford and I needed to figure out why she was there, unchaperoned, and maybe frightened. I started writing!
DeleteWhere is your favorite place to read?
ReplyDeleteI love to curl up in a cozy chair by our fireplace but I usually end up only having time to read while I'm on the tread mill at the gym! Ridiculous, huh?

ReplyDeleteHi Nikolina! Nice to meet you! Her Safe Harbor is the third full length novel in the Crawford Family Series. The first book is Train Station Bride, the second is Contract to Wed and there is a complanion novella for it called The Maid's Quarters, and Her Safe Harbor is the last of that series. I hope you'll give one of them a try!
