Description
Lieutenant Charlie Kincaid has been undercover for six months, obtaining information vital to the planned British invasion of New Orleans. When a summer storm south of Mobile Bay wrecks his ship and scatters the crew, Charlie suffers a head injury, ultimately collapsing in the arms of a beautiful mermaid who seems eerily familiar. As Charlie's memory returns in agonizing jags and crashes, he and Fiona discover that falling in love may be as inevitable as the tide. But when political loyalties begin to collide, they'll each have to decide where their true heart lies.
Advance Praise
Praise for The Pelican Bride
“Rich in historical detail. . . . A fascinating and little-explored historical setting peopled with strongly defined characters and no lack of romance makes an intriguing start for White’s new series.”
—CBA Retailers + Resources
“White’s carefully researched story, set in what would become Mobile, Alabama, is filled with duplicity, danger, political intrigue, and adventure.”
—Booklist, starred review
“With a fast-paced plot full of dynamic characters inspired by the real settlers of the Gulf Coast, . . . White has fashioned a richly layered and engrossing tale.”
—Historical Novel Society
“Fresh as a gulf breeze, The Pelican Bride is the perfect pairing of history and romance. Finely tuned characters and a setting second to none make this a remarkable, memorable story. Beth White’s foray into colonial Louisiana is historical romance of the highest quality.”
—Laura Frantz, author of The Mistress of Tall Acre
“Not your usual setting, not your usual historical romance—The Pelican Bride breaks new ground in the historical genre. Choosing to write a story set in the French colony that became Mobile, Alabama, draws the reader into a new and exciting period. A winning beginning to a new historical series.”
—Lyn Cote, author of The Wilderness Brides series
Praise for The Creole Princess
“The second entry in White’s Southern historical series (after The Pelican Bride) combines a lushly portrayed, exotic setting with an in-depth portrait of the complex mix of cultures, races, and divided loyalties that defined Gulf Coast residents in the eighteenth century. With its focus on a little known aspect of the American Revolution, this novel will also provide plenty to discuss for history book clubs.”
—Library Journal
“Lyse and Rafael have an instant rapport that will keep readers interested. White skillfully includes thoughtful questions and concerns about Christian approval of slavery, along with difficulties presented when politics threaten to tear families apart, without turning a charming story into a history lesson.”
—RT Book Reviews, 4 stars
