A Manifest Destiny tells the
story of Bettina Mowbray, a sweet-natured and beautiful American girl
who meets the heir of a British lord. He falls madly in love with her
and they are engaged to be married. But his cousin, Lord Hurdly, is
vehemently opposed to the union and Bettina's attempts to win him round
are fruitless. Instead Bettina receives an offer and makes a decision
that seems to doom her for a life of unhappiness and disappointment...
This charming love story from 1900 may sound highly fanciful, but Julia
Magruder's own cousin Helen had married a Baron to become Lady Abinger,
so she had recent family experience on which to draw.

Beth Coldwell should have died. At fourteen years old, she was dying
in a hospital bed, when her guardian, Christian Henderson, swept in and
turned everything upside down. Years later, she''s alive and well, but
she doesn''t know why. Christian did something unthinkable, possibly
criminal, to save her life, but what? Beth must pick apart the mystery
of why he''s being chased, kidnapped, spied upon, and drugged at every
turn. How can she pull down the wall between them so he will welcome
her to his world?
