Although born into privilege, Ayna Landau marries Karl Adler in
1924 and opens the door to a world of opportunities that propel her
husband's company to the height of success in the porcelain doll
industry of interwar Germany. As she basks in the glory of her
triumphs, her idyllic life is interrupted by Adolph Hitler's
meteoric rise to power in the 1930s as head of the Nazi Party.
While the chaos the Nazis create throughout Europe culminates in
World War II, Ayna and her family risk everything they have worked
for to secure the safety and freedom of not only their family and
friends, but strangers who seek their help, as well. Struggling to
survive the depths of personal tragedy that befall her by the war's
end, she abandons the Adler Doll Works and their beautiful villa to
flee Germany mere days ahead of the approaching Russian army,
determined to be reunited with her children in Switzerland. Ayna's
perseverance and resolve to restore the Adler name to the
prominence it once held becomes her final mission, in an effort to
bequeath its legacy to her children, grandchildren, and all future
Adlers.

A dazzling new Regency-set historical romance in Eloisa James' New
York Times bestselling Desperate Duchesses series! Witty and
elusive Eugenia Snowe has all society begging for one of her
premiere governesses-except the powerful Edward Reeve, who bursts
into her office with his arrogant demands. No question that Eugenia
enjoys crossing wits with the brilliant inventor, but Ward wants
far more than a governess. He wants Eugenia, and he'll stop at
nothing to have her-including kidnapping. Will Eugenia lose her
heart in the most reckless gamble of her life, or will she discover
the sweetest pleasure she's ever known? All it will take is seven
minutes...
In The Crimson Path of Honor, the Civil War is over, and a
violent period known as the Indian Wars is erupting. Ignoring the
danger, a feisty young woman from Boston rebels against her
tyrannical father's plans to marry her off to a family friend, and
she seizes an opportunity to go west to teach. On the way to the
Oregon Territory, her stagecoach is attacked, and she is captured
by a marauding band of Lakota (Sioux) Indians who call the Rocky
Mountains home.
Accepting her perilous situation, the young woman courageously
confronts the daily hardships inherent in early Native American
life. At first treated like an outcast, she eventually adapts to
her circumstances and comes to respect the camaraderie of the
Indians, even falling in love with her captor. Over time, she
begins to challenge her abductor's traditional views on
bloodletting and violence as the path of honor. Torn by her
inability to justify her growing feelings for her captor in a
culture of violence, she continually wonders why God has abandoned
her in such a desolate place.
"M.B. Tosi has done it again. This is the historical novel at
its best--realistic, filled with tough issues against a background
of conflict and unrest."
--Jim Langford,
Director Emeritus of University of Notre Dame Press
