An alternate-ending novella to the Ground Sweet as Sugar saga, Into the Complete Unknown follows runaway indentured servant Charlotte Dillon from the Caribbean at the dawn of the 19th century to the intrigues in Napoleon Bonaparte’s France.
Meanwhile, James Blair, the sugar planter who holds her indenture and her heart, has suffered a devastating injury that turns his world upside down. While James grasps for memories in his muddled mind, Charlotte attempts to create a new life for herself in the vine rows of Montmartre. But no matter how hard she tries, she can’t escape her past.
Discover the story some are calling: “Epic historical fiction at its best!” “The characters were in-depth and complex… there wasn’t a moment I was not in awe of their humanity and flaws.” “I didn’t want the story to end.”
If you love sweeping historicals like Outlander, stories rich in history and romance, mystery and adventure, then this series set in Ireland, the West Indies, and France is your next great romantic adventure!
