Publisher's Synopsis
Ready to binge-read a series of five historical romances? Each book weaves a story that continues, so be forewarned, readers, that the first four books are not standalone novels. Immerse yourself in 19th century San Antonio in this epic series full of mystery, romance, and magic.Bailey Rose is home again, and in the midst of establishing a clinic for the women and children of the San Antonio Red Light District, Bailey encounters the phantom boy from her past. The mystical, wondrous Utopia that dwelled in her memory had really happened, and here was the boy-now a man-who had lived it with her. But a wall is erected between them, fueled by a violent secret from her past, her unwavering dreams for the future, and his baffling promise to another woman.When Bailey is called to Bluebonnet Ranch for a medical emergency, she falls in love all over again with the wild Texas Hill Country and with the man who rides the ranch with her as she administers to the sick and injured. To have dreamed about him her whole life long-to have subconsciously established him as her ideal against which all other men must measure-had transformed him into something akin to an unattainable, mythical god. But he is a real, flesh and blood man, and her terrible secret and his romantic entanglements seem not to matter when she finally finds herself in his arms in a forbidden, reckless moment. In the most ordinary of places, a truly extraordinary love is rekindled. Leaving him now is a thousand times more painful than when they were children. Would he be forever, achingly, out of her reach? The Bailey Rose, M.D. SeriesSan Antonio, 1891. For Bailey, Jacob is a majestic boy she thought she may have simply imagined as part of some ephemeral childhood dream. But she soon discovers that Jacob is real flesh and blood, and he's a successful political comer, determined to bring great progressive change to the city but unwilling to sacrifice those goals by bucking the establishment to support Bailey's unorthodox ideas for the care of the prostitutes in the Red Light District. The indissoluble tie that binds them together, one formed in an enchanted childhood encounter, has grown into one fueled by intense passion and an inexplicable soul-connection. Events force them apart and push them together again: a sweet suitor who seems to be a safe match for Bailey, horrific family secrets, a murder indictment and trial, Jacob's conniving fiancé, and a plot twist involving an unfathomable threat from their past. An inspiring tribute to the pioneer women doctors who braved ridicule and prejudice to care for the very neediest-and to the men who loved and supported them. Historical romance, mystery, magical realism-and a touch of the paranormal-seamlessly blend in this series of the impossible, enduring love of a strong heroine and the man who loves her.Book One - Glory CreekBook Two - Rosie's CastleBook Three - Lada's GroveBook Four - The Red RoseBook Five - Green Meadow
