Chatting about different sites in England, the different sorts of Roman artifacts, and even learning about the ongoing dig of Vindolanda made me suddenly want to hop a plane and see what other archaeological wonders England has to offer!
And boy do her upcoming releases sound awesome. Stay tuned for more about those closer to release dates!
Of Silver and Secrets by Michelle Griep
Buried underneath are truths bent on
keeping them apart. . . .
In 1889 Victorian England, Eva Inman is haunted by guilt over her
parents' deaths while struggling to care for her blind sister and
manage her family's crumbling estate. With the tax deadline
looming, Eva's situation looks dire until an ancient silver ring is
unearthed on the property. Despite superstitions warning against
disturbing the supposedly cursed acres, Eva's need for funds
ignites her curiosity about the potential of finding more buried
relics.
Cambridge professor Bram Webb must prove a legendary Christian
Roman settlement exists, or he'll risk exposing his uncle's
deteriorating memory and they'll both lose their positions. Then
Eva steps into his office with the prospect of an archaeological
dig that might lead to the very evidence Bram requires--provided he
and Eva can set aside painful memories of a time they would rather
forget. As the dig forces the two to confront their pasts, the work
becomes fraught with challenges that threaten Eva's and Bram's
hopes, as well as the growing attraction between them.
