The Lost Healer of Carthage
When disgraced 21st century physician Dr. Lisbeth Hastings falls into 3rd century Carthage, she can't believe her misfortune. How had she landed in the middle of a pandemic? While Lisbeth desperately searches for a way home, deteriorating conditions force her to resurrect her medical skills and link arms with Cyprianus Thascius, the charismatic Roman noble trying his best to keep a small rebel group together in the midst of rising chaos.
But Lisbeth does not want to be anyone's healer. And she never meant to fall in love. If Lisbeth is going to save Cyprian from a martyr's fate, she must find a way to bridge the 1800 years that separates them without rewriting history.
I dare you to take this leap into the past.
But be warned.
You will never be the same.

Return to exile
Six years ago, impossible circumstances forced Dr. Lisbeth Hastings to leave behind the love of her life, not just in another country, but in another time. Her work as a top-notch epidemiologist and time spent raising their 5-year-old daughter helps dull her grief. But her sleep is haunted by the discovery she's made about the horrific fate of her beloved Cyprian.
Cyprian Thascius returns from political exile a broken man. He has lost his faith, the love of his life, and his purpose. But the danger looming over Carthage forces him to move toward his destiny. When Cyprian’s true love suddenly reappears in the third century, his heart becomes as imperiled as the fledgling church he has sacrificed everything to save.
It seems the years that have kept Lisbeth and Cyprian apart have created a chasm too wide to bridge. When a new crisis arises, they must put their mistakes behind them and work together to save Carthage. But unless God provides a miracle, their love will be the most costly fatality.
Filled with gripping action and raw emotion, this spell-binding adventure of star-crossed lovers captivates with every turn of the page in the electric continuation of The Carthage Chronicles.

Shades of Surrender
This prequel to Return to Exile sheds light on the love story of Ruth and Caecilianus and the beginnings of the church in Carthage and their relationship with the young Roman noble, Cyprian.
Before Dr. Lisbeth Hastings took her unexpected tumble into third-century Carthage and found herself amidst the persecuted church, future bishop Caecilianus, then a famous dyer of imperial purple, was visiting the tapestry shop in the low-rent district every Tuesday. It may have been a part of his duties as the deacon tasked to check upon the widows and their families, but deep down, he knew it was because of Ruth, the widow's lovely daughter who was so very determined to get the family back on their feet of her own accord.
Can Caecilianus break through Ruth's single-minded focus to show her the freedom of surrender? Or will Ruth's dogged self-sufficiency push away the man who loves her?
