Lions and Lace
The Van Alen Sisters novels tell the passionate stories of two strong-willed sisters whose destinies take them far beyond the privileged world of Gilded Age Manhattan in which they were raised and into the arms of bold, daring men who defy society’s rules.
In Lions and Lace, as orphaned Alana Van Alen attends debutante balls and soirees at the behest of her uncle who controls her fortune, she guards her family’s scandalous secret: Her younger sister, Christal, is incarcerated in an asylum because the authorities mistakenly believe she started the house fire that killed her parents. When Alana’s inheritance is lost in a bad investment, her uncle forces her into an arranged marriage with the Irish-born Wall Street speculator Trevor “the Predator” Sheridan. Although Sheridan’s wealth cannot buy him social status, it can buy him a beautiful, socially prominent fiancée who will go to any lengths to protect her sister.
In Fair Is the Rose, when Christal Van Alen suddenly recalls the traumatic events of the night her parents died, she knows who set the fire. Now she is convinced that this person will try to kill her. Fleeing the asylum, she sells her jewelry, dons widow’s weeds—because no one ever questions a widow—and travels west. In Wyoming Territory, still running from the law, she becomes the prisoner of infamous outlaw Macaulay Cain.
