  For Richer, For Poorer

  by Heidi Wessman Kneale

  England, 2072

  The Deveraux line is famous...for a family curse. The rich must marry the poor or lose their prosperity. Peter Baring is the last of the Deveraux and sinking slowly into poverty. But will marriage to his icy business partner save him?

  Beatrice Nottham dreams of leaving Earth for a fresh start. But only married couples are allowed to move off-world. Marrying a man she’s unsure she loves will solve that problem...but at what cost?

  When Beatrice visits England to research her branch of the Deveraux family tree, she meets Peter and sparks fly. Both question everything they ever believed would fulfill their dreams. If they dare to be together, will the Curse follow them beyond the stars? The answer to breaking its power could lie in the heart of a crumbling tapestry...if they have the courage to try.

  As Good As Gold

  by Heidi Wessman Kneale

  Scotland, 1678

  Daywen Athalia wants love--true and lasting. Fearing a future of bitter loneliness, she seeks help from a gypsy woman. The price: a hundred pieces of gold. Daywen's never had two shillings to rub together in her life. Where's she going to find a hundred gold pieces?

  Bel MacEuros made a career of theft from fey creatures. When the cursed gold he rightfully stole from a gnome is taken from him by Daywen, the consequences could bless or break his life.

  It is not the gnome's curse or a gypsy's blessing but another magic, far deeper and more powerful, that will change their lives forever.

  The White Feather

  by Heidi Wessman Kneale

  England, during World War I

  Crippled by a fear of firearms, James Cowper is rejected by the draft. The villagers mark him as a cowardly pariah and shame him cruelly, to the point of James attempting to take his own life. He is stopped by the appearance of the famously naked Stoweham Ghost who convinces him to live.

  A hundred years ago a romantic rival cursed Georgia Palmerton, refting her spirit from her body. Since then, she's wandered as the incorporeal Stoweham Ghost. Unlike true death, Georgia could be restored back to life, if only she could find someone brave enough to lift the curse from her body.

  Freeing Georgia from physical death is a simple matter. Freeing James from social death is altogether more challenging, especially when he is asked to give up everything he's ever known.

  Can courage win over cowardice?
