Welcome to Magnolia Bloom: A Magnolia Bloom Novella

She thought she knew everything about her ancestors. Oh, how wrong she was…

1967

Violet MacInnes didn’t expect to find anything surprising when she tackled her genealogy assignment. Everyone in her small town knew her great-grandmother was a sought-after debutante, and her great-grandfather was a sea captain. Everyone knew they built a legacy together. So when Violet discovers just how close that legacy came to never happening in the first place, she can’t help but dig deeper into the family diaries…

1867

Evajean Whitson wants more. More than the debut, courtship, and proper arranged marriage she’s supposed to want. She wants an education, a career, and adventure. Then she meets him. The devilishly handsome Alisdair MacInnes sails into her life and makes her question everything. But can there truly be room for romance in her life when she has no intention of giving up her quest for independence? 

Welcome to Magnolia Bloom, where anything is possible—even an authentic Scottish castle in the magnolia groves of East Texas, brought to life not by a man’s desire, but by a woman’s determination and defiance.
