About this title

From the Back Cover

It is the eve of a new age of freedom in the colonies.
But can a proper English lady dare hope for her own independence?

Lady Elisabeth "Liberty" Lawson has nearly everything a lady of her position could want. Daughter of the British lieutenant governor of the Virginia Colony and a darling of fine society in a rugged land, she is anticipating an advantageous marriage. That her betrothed is a rake and love is lacking is of little consequence--or so she tells herself.

Though her own life seems in order, colonial Williamsburg is a powder keg on the verge of exploding, and her fiancé's cousin Noble Rynallt carries the flame of revolution in his heart. Those with connections to the British nobility are suspected as spies, and Liberty soon finds herself left with a terrible choice. Will she stay true to her English roots? Or side with Noble and the radical revolutionaries?

"With impeccable research and a story that kept me devouring to the very last page, The Lacemaker is an enlightening tale of the dangerous days of our country's revolution and struggle for freedom, a heart-tugging romance made even more poignant as it is intertwined with courage and tenacity. A great story!"--Melanie Dickerson, author of The Beautiful Pretender and A Dangerous Engagement

"The Lacemaker proves yet another gift from the heart and faithfully deft pen of Laura Frantz. This tender romance breathes with faith, suspense, and the tragedies and triumphs of the human heart."--Tamara Leigh, USA Today bestselling author of The Vexing and Lady Betrayed
