Mills of the Gods — Daoma Winston
With her young heart yearning for romance and adventure, Vicki Davelle leaves her English parsonage home to seek a fiery destiny among the mill barons of industrial New England. But in the shadow of the towering chimneys she is swept into conflict with a man who would rather ravish than lose her forever. And only then does she begin to recognize a passion to match her own.
SHE WENT WHERE LOVE TOOK HER
Beautiful high-spirited Vicki Davelle, daughter of a poor English parson, crossed the ocean, buoyed by dreams of liberty and adventure. But America brought her a new kind of dilemma. Torn between the promise of marriage to the wealthy Richard Cavendish and the teasing smile of the gentle schoolmaster, Leslie Winton, she soon found herself with no more choices. She was with child and forcibly married to a man she vowed never to love.
From a little English market town to the bustling factory cities of New England, from the promise of freedom to the sumptuous prison of a loveless marriage, she traveled a path which cost her everything she held dear, before it gave her tears, her passion -- and her self -- back to her.
