I've been writing romance fiction since 2006 and have published 20 books. I write time travel romances, contemporary romances, romantic suspense, and light paranormal romances (lovelorn ghosty stuff).
A gypsy at heart, I've lived in Aruba, Venezuela, Arizona and California (thanks to my parents, and in Guam, Wyoming, Washington State, Belgium, Washington D.C., Maryland, Montana, Turkey and Alaska (thanks to my time in the U.S. Air Force. Since then, I've lived in Idaho, Nebraska and Alabama in addition to visiting many more countries and states, and I'm determined to Goodreads friend everyone from all those places plus many more!

Anna soon finds out the true identity of this mysterious man and a romance like no other occurs. Through danger and the threat of death or imprisonment, these two go on a journey that, no matter what, will never keep them apart for long.
I love books about history, and this one was such a fantastic read on a subject that many will not touch. The danger that surrounds the romance of George and Anna makes this story so much better. While helping others, they are making a wonderful life for themselves along the way. Bess did it again with such an amazingly well-written story full of history, romance, and danger. Great and easy read.
There are authors who write from their hearts and their readers know! Such is this novel about Anna and George! Bess McBride takes a great leap in her writing and this novel shows her talent and compassion. Based on a true story Bess McBride brings her passion for writing to a whole other level.
