One of the late Sir Abercorn’s daughters must marry a wealthy man. Naturally, it should be golden-haired Lilibet, since Neala is simply too . . . plain. Lady Abercorn knows exactly how to win Lilibet a rich husband—with her grandmother’s bewitched wedding dress. Legend says the dress was sprinkled with fairy dust; all Lilibet has to do is touch it, and the next man she meets will fall beneath her spell. Yet when handsome war hero Lord Winterton comes calling, it is Neala who answers the door. Winterton’s eyes dance, his thoughts turn to romance and his heart is lost to. . . the wrong woman!

What can possibly go wrong when a group of former actors and actresses, all of whom once appeared to great acclaim on the London stage, all gather for a lovely winter house party at the country home of Lord and Lady Montford? How about the vicious murder of one of their group on her way to Montford Hall, the poor lady found dead in her carriage before she even arrives at the Montford Hall estate? Will a blinding snowstorm, dictating that no one can leave the mansion, or the fact that the coal supply in the house is fast diminishing and the larder is nearly bare of food, serve to lower the house guests' spirits? Will finding another guest brutally murdered on the premises frighten the guests? Or cause them to believe that they are now stranded in the snowy countryside with a killer in their midst? How soon before the frightened guests begin to point fingers at one another? When Miss Abbott, who is not an actress and therefore not truly one of them, is spotted standing over the dead body of one of the gentlemen guests, the murder weapon in hand, how quickly will Miss Abbott be declared the guilty party? And, how quickly will our clever young sleuth manage to run the real killer to ground and prove not only her own innocence, but that of her maid Tilda, upon whose head suspicion has also fallen?

Seeking love, husbands, and the adventure of a lifetime, the girls are instead swept into a maelstrom of lies, treachery, and deceit. Upon arriving in Jamestown, they are shocked to discover that someone in the colony wants one, or all of them, dead. Diana bravely sets aside her grief to unravel the mystery before the killer strikes again. When all clues point to the most likeable and highly respected Jamestown colonist, Diana knows that here in the New World, where women must remain silent and submissive, no one will believe her. Yet as she uncovers long-hidden secrets, she knows that saying nothing makes her part of the lie. When charges of witchcraft are leveled against one of the girls, Diana boldly speaks out in her defense. Despite the turmoil in their lives, each girl still longs for love, a husband, and a new life. With the lies and treachery spinning out of control, the final shocking event stuns the entire colony. Will every secret now come to light? Or are the most horrific best left buried?

The changes and plot twists keep readers on their toes, and will have mystery and history lovers running to Amazon and their local libraries for this one! Stay alert, because this plot holds your attention until the very last page.” - ONCE UPON A ROMANCE "Reading A PETTICOAT AND LAMBSKIN GLOVES is like stepping through a doorway into history. Marilyn Clay has done an incredible amount of research into the period, how it would look and smell and feel if you were truly in 1620s Jamestown. The romances are sweet, touching and period appropriate. A PETTICOAT AND LAMBSKIN GLOVES is the kind of book you want to get lost in and are sad when it’s over. Thoroughly recommended." -Janis May, author. "I won this book in a contest from the author, with no obligation to give a review. But I must. I've been to Jamestown, researched the early settlers and walked that same plot of ground. This story is so real . . . all my knowledge fit with the people, scenes and events. The story depicts the hardships of the people of the times when they embark to a new land full of unexpected rewards and grave disappointments. Sallie Mae is one of the strongest characters and deserves her ending. Prudence surprised me with what she did in a moment of weakness. Faith’s life was changed by the actions of her sister. The culmination of her deeds also surprised me and showed what can happen as we are affected by the actions of those we hold dear. This is historical fiction – some of the best I’ve read. I am thrilled! Marilyn Clay is an author to follow. 5 Stars.

Book excerpt: STALKING A KILLER is the story of an aspiring private investigator and single mom Amanda Mason, who lives in a mobile home with her five-year-old son Casey, and her elderly father Jake Jackson behind Jake's Boat Rental and Tackle Shop on Lake Stephens north of Dallas, Texas. Because Jake recently suffered a heart attack, they hire thirty-year-old Trevor Banks to help keep the boat motors running and to take rich vacationers out on the lake to fish. Two days after Trevor shows up, a body is found floating in the lake beneath the old wooden pier across the road. The police identify the man as one of the fishermen Jake took out on the lake the previous afternoon and immediately arrest him for the crime, the motive: robbery. Shocked, Amanda's suspicions instead fall on their new boat mechanic, about whom they know next to nothing. When a computer search reveals that 'Trevor Banks' doesn't exist, Amanda confronts him and learns that he is hiding out on the lake but refuses to tell her why, saying he doesn't want to drag her into his problems. Trevor instead suggests they team up to solve the murder since the cops aren't looking elsewhere for the killer. Her ready cash dwindling fast, Amanda feels she has no choice but to trust the handsome man, but prays she's not making a deal with the devil . . . or the killer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 18th and 19th CENTURY ENGLISH WOMEN AT SEA is a lively and entertaining account of the type of women one would have normally found, legally or illegally, on board ship during this time period, namely-prostitutes; officers and midshipmen's wives and other female passengers, and women masquerading as sailors or crewmen. Colorful but factual accounts of little-known incidents in the book are drawn from letters written by sailors and other men at sea, from diaries of such notable figures as Admiral Horatio Nelson, and from autobiographies written in the late 1700s by women such as Mary Lacy, who took to the sea masquerading as men, and lived to tell of their experiences. Noted historians who have published works on the same subject are quoted. MARILYN CLAY is the acclaimed author of over twenty books. Her most recent novels DECEPTIONS: A COLONIAL JAMESTOWN NOVEL, A PETTICOAT AND LAMBSKIN GLOVES and BETSY ROSS: ACCIDENTAL SPY are all set in Colonial America and are available both in print and as e-books.
