Lies and Promises

by Jackie Walton

Overview

Even as the British prepare their invasion, Martine Jolliet drives her maid’s attacker out into the streets of Quebec. She gets unexpected help from a handsome, scarred trapper. Her father, a local official, offers Dominic Charteris lodging in gratitude, but Martine soon offers her heart and hand. The attacker, part of a cabal headed by senior government officials, instigates a cascade of arrests, vicious attacks, corruption, and murder that start Martine and Dominic on the trail of high-level graft. Only the arrival of the British across the river with their ships and cannon could be more unnerving. After Dominic’s second arrest, Martine engineers his escape, only to find him turning up again in a most unexpected place.

About the Author

After growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area and marrying my high school sweetheart, we became what Alvin Toffler called "corporate gypsies." We've lived in a number of states and countries, including Italy, and have visited a lot of places, some of which show up in my stories. I'm a retired high school science teacher with degrees in English and psychology. (Those two and $4 will get you a good cup of coffee!) I've always loved history, though, as you might guess from the last chapter of my books. That's what happens when you mix a teacher with a self-professed history geek. We are once again back in the Bay Area with our long, tall Pole of a dog.
