Lady in the Mist
February 16th, 2011. Filed under: This & That, Wednesday's Wonders.
By virtue of her profession as a midwife, Tabitha Eckles is the keeper of many secrets. Dominick Cherrett is a man with his own secret to keep: namely, why he, a British aristocrat, is on American soil working as an indentured servant.
In a time when relations between America and England rest on the edge of a knife, Tabitha and Dominick cross paths, leading them on a journey of intrigue, threats, public disgrace, and . . . love. But can Tabitha trust Dominick? Finding true love seems impossible in a world set against them.
With stirring writing that draws you directly into the story, Lady in the Mist takes you on the thrilling ride of love’s discovery.
ISLAND BREEZES
Midwifery, mystery and mist coming in off the sea. This book is just the thing for a mystery loving nurse who spent ten years at sea.
Midwife Tabitha and a British indentured servant can’t seem to keep away from each other. They also can’t seem to trust the other either. Could that be because they both have plans to manipulate the other ?
And the secrets they each harbor are making life a lot more difficult for them. Will they be able to begin to trust and work together? 1809 isn’t the best of times for a Brit and American to work together.
Oh, yes. It’s a good one.

The role of midwives in history began to fascinate Laurie Alice Eakes in graduate school and she knew that someday she wanted to write novels with midwife heroines. Ten years later, after several published novels and a National Readers Choice Award for Best Regency, the midwives idea returned, and Lady in the Mist was born. Laurie Alice has a masters degree in creative writing and now writes full time from her home in Texas, where she lives with her husband and sundry dogs and cats.
