Part of Series

In the spring of 1814, a temporary calm settles along the Patuxent. While the British Navy skulks in the Chesapeake Bay, the Willows families and their neighbors enjoy a brief season of peace. That is until Napoleon is subdued. Britain now prepares to loose her navy on America, even as peace negotiations commence in Belfium. Weeks of relentless British attacks along the waterfront soften the will of the American militia, leaving the British military confident that victory is within their grasp. And their primary target? Washington. Experience the pain and passion of five families—American, slave and British—as they endure three of the darkest days in American history—the week Washington burned.

Author · 16 books

Laurie (L.C.) Lewis will always be a Marylander at heart—a weather-whining lover of crabs, American history, and the sea. She admits to being craft-challenged, and particularly lethal with a glue gun, It’s documented that she’s craft-challenged and particularly lethal with a glue gun, which is why she set her creative juices on writing which was less likely to burn her fingers. She's also a devotee of sappy movies, fried chicken, and twinkle lights. She’s a RONE Award Winner (The Dragons of Alsace Farm) and was twice named a New Apple Literary Award winner in 2017 (The Dragons of Alsace Farm), and in 2018, winning Best New Fiction (Love on a Limb.) She is also a BRAGG Medallion honoree, and she was twice named a Whitney Awards and USA Best Books Awards finalist. Laurie will release her thirteenth novel, a contemporary Christmas romance in October 2021. "Cross-Country Christmas," was inspired by a drive she took through the often barren miles of Utah in a Tesla. Mysteries, romance, and humor abound in this fun Hallmark-like tale of two lonely rebounders who end up stranded together under some curious circumstances.
