1. It Happened at the Fair
A transporting historical novel about a promising young inventor, his struggle with loss, and the attractive teacher who changes his life, all set against the razzle-dazzle of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair.
Cayden McCreary has his life planned out: Unveil his newly invented fire sprinkler at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. Garner backers. Marry the girl back home. But the noise in the Fair’s Machinery Palace and the impact it has on his hearing makes it impossible to communicate with potential investors. In an act of desperation, he hires Della Wentworth, a teacher of the deaf, to tutor him in the art of lip-reading. Understanding the fierce prejudices against perceived disabilities, Della agrees to keep their lessons a secret. When unexpected feelings develop between them, will Cayden be able to give up his carefully ordered plans and the girl back home for a woman he’s only just met?
2. Fair Play
Saddled with a man’s name, Billy Jack Tate makes no apologies for taking on a man’s profession. As a doctor at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, she is one step closer to having her very own medical practice – until Hunter Scott asks her to give it all up to become his wife. Hunter is one of the elite – a Texas ranger and World’s Fair guard specifically chosen for his height, physique, character, and skill. Hailed as the toughest man west of any place east, he has no patience for big cities and women who think they belong anywhere but home.
Despite their differences of opinion, Hunter and Billie find a growing attraction until Hunter discovers an abandoned baby in the corner of a White City exhibit. He and Billy team up to make sure this foundling isn’t left in the slums of Chicago. As they fight for the underprivileged children in the Nineteenth Ward, an entire playground movement is birthed. But when the fair comes to an end, one of them will have to give up their dream. Will Billy exchange her doctor’s shingle for the domesticated role of a southern wife, or will Hunter abandon the wide open spaces of home for a life in the "gray city," a woman who insists on being the wage earner, and a group of ragamuffins who need more than one breathing space?
