In the 1970s recent college grad Char flees to the idyllic Pennsylvania-Dutch countryside to consider her future. Staying with a Mennonite great-aunt, she meets Amish bad boy Uri Stoltzfus, who agrees to serve as her guide to the Plain culture. Both Char and Uri have hard choices to make about the values they will embrace in this coming-of-age novel set against the backdrop of a turbulent decade. Feminism, racism, the Vietnam War, more permissive attitudes toward sex and drugs, and new types of music collide with a way of life unchanged for centuries. Char also meets another great-aunt whose very existence proves an affair between Char's great-grandmother and an unidentified lover. Who was he and why did he not assume responsibility for his daughter? Char hopes that finding an answer to this family mystery will help her solve her own dark secret.

Now in paperback?a novel that ?handily fulfills its promise of intrigue and romance.?(Publishers Weekly) Determined to secure another London season without assistance from her new brother-in-law, Mary Alsworthy accepts a secret assignment from Lord Vaughn on behalf of the Pink Carnation. She must infiltrate the ranks of the dreaded French spy, the Black Tulip, before he and his master can stage their planned invasion of England. Every spy has a weakness and for the Black Tulip that weakness is beautiful black-haired women?his ?petals? of the Tulip. A natural at the art of seduction, Mary easily catches the attention of the French spy, but Lord Vaughn never anticipated that his own heart would be caught as well. Fighting their growing attraction, impediments from their past, and, of course, the French, Mary and Vaughn find themselves lost in a treacherous garden of lies. And as our modern-day heroine, Eloise Kelly, digs deeper into England?s Napoleonic-era espionage, she becomes even more entwined with Colin Selwick, the descendant of her spy subjects.
