A Spenserian Sonnet inspired by the novel: The Bostonians (And the Merchant Ivory film)
Verena of his lover’s lust, lady,
publicly perfect and privately chaste -

A Southern man, his cause, a Boston maid;
torn, hers a cause and female bond betrayed.
Secrets Lurking in Pinecrest is a romantic mystery with a series of puzzling events.
Mike Armstrong, a ruggedly handsome Forest Service Law Enforcement Officer, returns home to Pinecrest to work at the Ranger Station.
Mary Howard is the dil
