A Lady in Attendance by Rachel Fordham

Hazel was wrongly jailed, framed for a crime she didn't commit. She and her family had a high position in society, but when this happened, they left her on her own. After serving her time she found a job with a quiet young dentist, a confirmed bachelor. She was a perfect fit though, and they each grew through their insecurities. In this growth and stepping out in faith with her new friends, she told them about her past and they helped her to clear her name, uncovering the true person who committed the crime and murdered her husband. Putting them all in danger. But this time with God and friends on her side, all fell into place. Well told, keeping you turning those pages. Very good read. Lovable characters.

Written on the Wind by Elizabeth Camden

If you read before you go to sleep, plan on going to bed earlier. This is hard to put down. I fell in love with Dimitri and Natalia right away. Both are easy to picture and identify with. At first, they meet and begin to know one another by telegraph while building the trans-Siberian railway. He is in Russia directing the construction, she is in New York at her father's bank overseeing the project. Until the Russians massacred people along the border with China, people who were entitled to be there by Charter. When Dimitri witnesses it and refuses to participate in killing innocent people, he is stripped of his land and title and sent to a Siberian prison. His and Natalia's relationship is a bit complicated, but you can't help but invest your heart in their relationship and admire them both. Excellent read.
