  Daughter Of Silk

  $17.99

  Ambition brought Rachelle to Paris. Now love prompts her to risk her life. Pursuing the family name as the finest silk producer in Lyon, the young Huguenot Rachelle Dushane Macquinet is thrilled to accompany her famous couturier, Grandmere, to Paris to create a silk trousseau for the Royal Princess Marguerite Valois. The Court is magnificent; its regent, Catherine de Medici, deceptively charming . . . and the circumstances, darker than Rachelle could possibly imagine. At a time in history when the tortures of the Bastille and the fiery stake are an almost casual occurrence in France, a scourge of recrimination is moving fast and furious against the Huguenots-and as the Queen Mother’s political intrigues weave a web of deception around her, Rachelle finds herself in imminent danger. Hope rests in warning the handsome Marquis Fabien de Vendome of the wicked plot against his kin. But to do so, Rachelle must follow a perilous course-one that requires her to enter the very bedchamber of the Queen Mother. Will she risk her life for her fellow Huguenots-and Marquis Fabien?

  She gambled with her husband’s trust. At stake is-everything.
  Evy Varley’s marriage to Rogan Chantry is all she had hoped it would be-until she finds out that she is pregnant with a honeymoon baby. Fearing that Rogan won’t allow her to travel while she is expecting, Evy plots to keep her pregnancy secret in order to accompany him to South Africa. Her thoughts are not only for her husband, but Evy is determined to travel to Bulawayo, the new mission station of Dr. Jakob van Buren-the one man who can help Evy to finally clear her mother’s name.

  After she and Rogan set out to sea, however, Evy discovers that she has gone to far in her deceit, and the damage to her marriage may be irreversible. Matters only worsen in Africa, where malaria, murder, and an African uprising all take their toll and where Rogan and Evy must fight not only for their love, but also for their very lives.
