Gemstones was a fun book to research since I not only had to look at Regency England but also on India and meditation.
I have an idea for two sequences, each one telling the story of Nicola's sisters. Elizabeth and Margaret. Am ready to begin Elizabeth's story soon. She is the vain but beautiful sister. Will give her a problem that can or cannot effect her idea of her own beauty and how she must grow and learn.
Margaret is the tomboy sister and will show how she comes into her own. Not sure how yet.
When Nicola Gordon and her younger sisters travel from India to England, she goes to a marriage she doesn’t want.
Drew Barlow has no desire for marriage, but his distant cousin and Nicola’s grandfather, ran the estates into debt. Drew agrees to the marriage for the money and to please the Dowager, Nicola’s grandmother, but he has no trust for women or for love.
When the two meet they clash and come together, igniting a blazing attraction they cannot resist.
