Giving Away Ten Copies of The Courier of Caswell Hall
The Courier of Caswell Hall releases
this month! I thoroughly enjoyed writing this story about a young Loyalist woman who becomes a courier and spy during the
Revolutionary War.
To celebrate the release of this novel, I will be giving away a copy of The Courier of Caswell Hall to ten readers on October 7th. If you'd like to put your name in for this drawing, please leave a comment with your email address below (or you can comment and email your address to comments(a)melaniedobson.com).
Here is a little more information about the story:
One snowy night Lydia discovers a wounded man on the riverbank near Caswell Hall, and her decision to save him will change her life. Nathan introduces her to a secret network of spies, couriers, disguises, and coded messages—a network that may be the Patriots’ only hope for winning the war. When British officers take over Caswell Hall and wreak havoc on neighboring plantations, Lydia will have to choose between loyalty and freedom; between her family's protection and her own heart's desires.
As both armies gather near Williamsburg for a pivotal battle, both Lydia and Sarah must decide how high a price they are willing to pay to help the men they love.

Here is a little more information about the story:
An unlikely spy discovers freedom and love in the midst of the
American Revolution.
As the British and Continental armies wage war in 1781, the daughter of a wealthy Virginia plantation owner feels conflict raging in her own heart. Lydia Caswell comes from a family of staunch Loyalists, but she cares only about peace. Her friend Sarah Hammond, however, longs to join the fight. Both women’s families have already been divided by a costly war that sets father against son and neighbor against neighbor; a war that makes it impossible to guess who can be trusted.

Romantic suspense has long been my fave genre for feeding my reading habit. And yet, most of these are usually contemporary. I love to happen upon an historical romantic suspense to read! And that this one is about our very own American history makes it even better. I've got my fingers crossed I can win one of your copies. But, just in case, I've put it on my wish list on Amazon! jdh2690@gmail.com
This book sounds great.
Wonderful!!
Hello Melanie. Glad to see you have another book. Love the cover. She is a crazy girl(or a crazy one.) LOL I can't imagine being one to do that. I'd probably say something wrong and get caught. Hope she doesn't wind up being hated by both sides. It is good for her to help a wounded man tho he is from the other side in the war. I wish you all the success, which I'm sure you will have. I would love to be one of the 10 winners.
Thanks for the give-away. Maxie mac262(at)me(dot)com
