When Angelina, the black sheep of the Pagano family, meets the mysterious Mr. Russell, she has no idea that she has seen him before…in another country.

And so begins “Farewell My Life,” a novel in three parts, which spins an operatic tale of dangerous love, obsession and loss; of crumbling, dissolving and nothingness.

“The Lost Mother” slices back and forth between time and space, opening in Georgetown, Washington D.C. in the Fall of 1921, while reflecting a family’s troubled past in Marostica, in the 19th century Italian Veneto.

“An Unsuitable Suitor” is a Cinderella-ish tale with not-so-charming princes who inhabit the edgy setting of 1920s Berlin.

“Farewell My Life,” set in Berlin during the dark 1930s as the Nazis gain power, takes comfortable lives, assumptions and civilizations and crumbles them into ash.

And all of this revolves around 17-year-old Grace, Angelina’s younger daughter, whose fabulous talent for the violin promises a shimmering career.

Bold, courageous, and determined, Leana Sinclair is the lone survivor of a horrific fire that stole everything from her.

Even her true identity.

She’s waited for years to get revenge on her clan’s enemies and the time has come. It might be Yuletide, but she’ll not be celebrating.

Nor will she be distracted by Tavish Maclean, the soon-to-be-laird of the very clan she loathes. The tall, intimidating and quick-to-smile Tavish might be the most braw man she has ever met but that won’t change anything.

He’s also the most dangerous—because he knows her secret.

Tavish hasn’t seen Leana since childhood but he knows the lass isn’t telling the truth. He’s no fool. He’d recognize those green eyes anywhere. And while he might not have been interested in curious green eyes when he was a bairn, he’s interested now.

In truth, he’s interested in all of her and that’s no bad thing. His clan is pressuring him to marry her and put an end to the rumors that his family was behind the devastating fire that killed off many of the head members of Leana’s clan. He knows they were innocent of any wrongdoing but what better way to show that than to create a lifetime connection with the Sinclairs?

However, it seems someone else knows her secret too, and might well be willing to hurt her to make it remain so. Somehow, Tavish must protect the foolhardy woman from herself and her unknown enemy, all the while fighting a desire strong enough to bring any Highlander to his knees.

When lines are crossed, sometimes it’s unclear exactly who is tantalizing who…

And unfortunately, the way to do that is to return to where he did the most damage—the home of her first love.

Hugh Chesterton, Viscount Danbury, is relatively intelligent, good looking, unmarried, and most importantly, close at hand. With a little décolletage, a sway of the hips, and a few drinks of brandy, Penelope is certain she can extract a respectable offer.

If only she’d accounted for the power of passion.

Because unchecked lust takes over, leaving Penelope in a most precarious predicament. And Lord Danbury –– the goose-brained jackanapes –– is proving far less attainable than she’d imagined.
