The Dutchess of Chadwick Has Arrived! Will Hearts That Are Waves Apart, Bridge The Divide?
This novel centers on the romantic tale of star-crossed lovers that navigate life through the Gilded Age in High Society with its litany of pomp and promiscuity. It is a feel-good story of love, loss, fortitude and fortunes.
The tale is more Downton Abbey than Bridgerton. So there is a deliberate ‘t’ in Dutchess, as the book is written in traditional literary romance language and style. One reader even suggested, “You should send it to Julian Fellowes”.
“I found The Dutchess of Chadwick skillfully written. The author has chosen her words with such care that each grand house, room, field, and character comes alive in your mind to play with your emotions.
The story compels you to turn each page, and it keeps you guessing right to the delightful end — leaving me hoping for a sequel. If you like period novels, The Dutchess of Chadwick stands firmly planted with the best of them.
— Mystery novelist, Andrea Steele”

Elizabeth Hunt finds love in all the wrong places as she navigates High Society on both sides of the Atlantic in this tale of star-crossed lovers in the Gilded Age. Will the pomp and promiscuity of the elite and the inherent risk of indiscretions thwart true love? The innocent Elizabeth soon learns the fallibility of fortune as fate foils her romantic inclinations toward the handsome Oliver Ross.
From dancing across glamorous New York ballrooms, to the breaking waves on the sandy shores of Newport, scandal and serendipity intertwine to show Elizabeth that all is not what it seems.
As she discovers the allure of the azure in the shimmering social life of Monte Carlo, her naivety is quickly replaced by stark reality and Elizabeth finds her life turned upside down with her new position as a Dutchess.
She grasps brief respites from the cold, grey days of life as British nobility by nurturing those in need and tries to find peace in her world far from home. A tantalizing tumult of choices combine to test Elizabeth's fortitude.
Which begs the question, will hearts that are waves apart, bridge the divide?
