In Wayward Winds, Amanda
Rutherford has left the family mansion on the shires of Devon
and joined the suffragette movement in London. While in the
bustling metropolis, she becomes romantically involved with
Ramsay Halifax, a charming young man who has European roots.
As World War I approaches, the suffragette movement wanes,
leaving Amanda without much purpose. In a hasty decision,
she agrees to marry Halifax, and soon she is on her way to
Eastern Europe. Little does she know the danger she is in,
that all along she has been merely a pawn in an ideological
scheme to gain influence and control in England. When she
finally realizes that Halifax and his mother are not the people
she thought they were, she finds herself far from home and
a warring continent lays between her and the only place of
safety she knows. (c) Amazon.com

Discarding Her Past Suddenly
Meant She Had Also Jeopardized Her Future. While war escalates
on every side, twenty-one-year-old Amanda wages her own internal
battles. Betrayed by those who masqueraded behind claims of
love, she takes flight from the sinister world that had held
her in its grip. None but her pursuers apprehend the value
of the secrets she possesses. The success of England's war
effort lies in the balance. As the European powers descend
into open warfare, unprecedented peril lurks at every hand.
For the Rutherfords of Devonshire, the call to arms is an
inescapable duty. But to commit a son to the conflict as well
as a father represents a test of faith unlike anything they
have faced. Insulated by the surrounding Alps from the political
and military storms raging across Europe, the residents of
the Chalet of Hope offer refuge and respite to the weary and
faint of spirit. But despite the tranquility of their alpine
paradise, some troubling, yet unspoken emotion stirs in the
heart of their young guest. (c) Amazon.com
