Drama, intrigue & romance awaits!
Here's the blurbs & buy links for books 1 & 2 - look out for book 3 coming at the end of August!
A New Start for the Shop Girls
1910, Bath, England – Hardworking and whip smart, Elizabeth
Pennington is the rightful heir of Bath’s premier department store, Pennington’s.
But her father, Edward Pennington, believes his daughter lacks the business
acumen to run his empire. He is resolute a man will succeed him.
Determined to break
from her father's hold and prove she is worthy of inheriting Pennington’s,
Elizabeth makes two lifelong friends in Esther and Cornelia – who both work in
the store.
She also forms an
unlikely alliance with ambitious and charismatic master glove-maker Joseph
Carter. They have the same goal: bring Pennington's into a new decade while embracing
women’s equality and progression. But, despite their best intentions, it is
almost impossible not to mix business and pleasure…
Can Elizabeth, her
friends, and the man she’s increasingly falling in love with, thwart Edward
Pennington’s plans for the store? Or will Edward prove himself an unshakeable
force who will ultimately ruin them all?

The Shop Girls Get The Vote
1911, Bath, England – Passionate suffrage campaigner Esther
Stanbury has been banished from her home for her views. So ever since, she’s
worked as a window dresser in Pennington's Department Store, where she’s proud
to have a job and to earn her own money.
She has hopes and
dreams of helping secure women the vote, and not just by seeking to convince
her friends at Pennington’s, Elizabeth, Cornelia and Amelia to join her cause.
Then she meets
Lawrence Culford, the owner of the nearby prestigious Phoenix Hotel, and they
are both drawn by the possibility of a love neither had thought could exist.
But with the
Coronation of King-Emperor George V looming, the atmosphere in Bath is building
to fever pitch; as is the suffragists’ determination to secure the vote. Will
Esther’s rebellious nature lead her to ruin her chance of love forever?
