Katherine Heaton, a young patriot woman, stares into the eyes of the Redcoat officer standing over her father's lifeless body. Stunned at what she has just witnessed, there is nothing she can do when the soldiers haul her brother away for hanging a British Stamp Agent. Devoted to her brother, and the cause, she will help him fight for independence. Captain Jeremy Burke, officer in the King's army, arrives in the New World and discovers the colonies have an elegant simplicity that surprises him, especially the beautiful Heaton woman. He has never had a problem with self-discipline, until now. The painful road of time, separate lives, and war require determination and courage for two enemies to embrace a love so powerful and forbidden.

4 Books The Long and the Short of It:

"Ms. Baker does a masterful job weaving in the major conflicts around Boston so familiar from our history books. The Quartering Act is an excellent read. I hope that if you are into reading Regencies, you will take heart and pick up this story. I'd like to say it's a great addition to any library and a new American Empire drama. Many thanks to Ms. Baker for an enjoyable book."

"The Quartering Act is a one of a kind novel. Very few books are based in the American Revolution and Ms. Baker captures the spirit perfectly. The reader benefits from the research put into this book and can feel the fortitude of the patriots as they fight for their country. This novel is a great story of love and bravery and I enjoyed it immensely."

Thank you for dropping by and taking the time to visit.

I'm so excited about my western novel which is in progress. Please check out the blurb and read the first chapter of Silver Sage Creek Saga, Forced Destiny.

When I first started writing about the small western town of Silver Sage Creek, Texas in 1858, I wanted to write about the Texas Rangers and how they were successful fighting hostile Indians and helping the white man settle the west. But, as most writers know, as your characters come to life, they start to take a different path, which in my case is what Clare Rose Coulson managed to do. I was glad she did, because of all the research on the Comanche Indians, I knew how her character had to grow, and along side of her, I grew in knowledge as well.

Silver Sage Creek, my factious western town is located in the panhandle of Texas, between the future towns of Amarillo and Lubbock. The town has several characters that will require another book. I'm looking forward to writing it.
