The third book in the Edge of Empire Series, Beside Turning Water begins at the Battle of Bunker Hill, June 1775, and continues through the last year of siege and occupation in Boston, and the Army's move to New York the following year. The story centers in Newton, then considered Boston's countryside, at the Wheel and Hammer, a tavern built at the bend of the river, where the young widow, Nina Bigelow is the proprietor and brewer. Nina is content with her life, and resists change, those over which she has control, and those changes that are happening in the world around her. Those changes are inescapable, no matter her choice, and Nina learns to forgive the past and embrace the future. Among the soldiers who have discovered the fresh grass, good food and fine ale at the Wheel and Hammer, is Alex Peele, recently wounded at Bunker Hill and now useful as a courier and spy for George Washington. Alex has no time for romance, or even friendship, and he especially has no interest in interfering in the life of the young brewer, but he cannot help feeling responsible for her, and sets out to show her how wonderful she is. In spite of his best intentions, his concern turns into something much deeper. Just as the war shift south from Boston to New York, Alex comes to accept his own limitations and desires. Set in the time of the American Revolution, historian and novelist, Dory Codington weaves together fiction and history to create romance in the nation's past. Because: in a world turned upside down, the only thing right - may be love.

Adventure / Romance. Cardinal Points begins at the very beginning of the American Revolution, the night the colonists of Boston, threw crates and crates of good China tea into the harbor to protest, taxes and Governors Hutchinson's decisions about shipping and selling. Jason arrived in Boston just in time to get caught in the brewing turmoil over the tea stored on three ships. He had chosen to make Boston his home because of its busy port and the likelihood of finding a new berth, or even an officer's rank. But the chance to join the town mob, and engage in a bit of anonymous treason was too good to ignore. Oona was there to help, anxious to be a part of the town's search for freedom and independence. She did not expect, while she stuck feathers in dark wool caps and boot black on familiar faces, to see a smile she had not seen for ten years. And when the man attached to the impish grin picked her up and kissed her while the crowd of disguised men howled, it was as if her dreams of the past ten years had come true.
