From the Author: Join me for intrigue, romance, and high seas adventure in my debut novel, Perils of the Heart. Evangeline Clemens, the shy spinster who finds herself caught in a mutiny and swept away on adventure is very close to my heart. Austin Blackwell, the stern American sea captain with dark eyes and darker past, finds in her the joy of life he thought he'd lost. I loved writing this book, and hope you love reading it!
