Restless Heart

New Release

Preorder: https://books2read.com/u/b5X7A7

Born in a brothel in Paris in the early 1700s, Madeleine's future had been decided by her courtesan mother and Madame Claudine. Her innocence at age fourteen would be sold to the highest bidder. She’d be treated as a usable and disposable toy to fulfill her patron’s every perverted desire until he tires of her. Then she’d become a courtesan to entertain anyone who visits the brothel.

Madeleine dreams of a better future. She runs away and finds temporary refuge in a convent, but she doesn’t have too many options when she turns eighteen. Either going back to the brothel, becoming a servant with an uncertain future, living her life as a nun, or becoming a filles à la cassette, one of the King’s Casket Girls, since no reputable man would marry her in France with nothing to her name. To escape her gloomy future, she sails to the New World with hopes for a better life.

What will her future hold? Will she find happiness?

Books in the Spotlight #5 at #OurAuthorGang

In the spotlight today

(Readers' Favorite) An heirloom quiche recipe and baking rivalry turn up the heat in a New England mill town rife with secrets and scandals. A tragedy precipitated by misdeeds wreaks havoc on those caught in the crossfire.

Our Guest Today is Jill Vogt #OurAuthorGang

Welcome, Jill! So glad to have you with us!

Originally from the mountains of Johnson City, Tennessee, Jill Cox Vogt is an award-winning poet and the author of numerous articles about the performing arts.

Her personal motto is: Do good. Play nice. Be kind. While she never set out to live throughout the United States, from Florida to Montana and several places in between, she chalks it up to the gypsy in her soul.

The adventures were worth it, but the gypsy landed in Louisiana where she lives with her husband and dog, and enjoys reading, writing, chocolate, and a yard filled with flowers.

Jill loves to hear from her readers and followers. You can contact her at

Born in a Tennessee commune to an activist mother and an unidentified father, Iris Lyon already feels short-changed. Now, in small-town Twicks Hill, her husband ignores her, her mother stages protests, and her musically gifted daughter grows sneakier by the day. When Iris runs into an old acquaintance, handsome mystery writer Armando Torres, she hopes for friendship to ease her frustrating world. Instead, she must overcome deceptions that crash in on the night she dances with Armando.
Dancing with Armando chronicles three generations of strong and optimistic women, each with hopes and dreams -- and closely guarded secrets. While Sophie and her daughter Iris walk a fine line between love and dejection, granddaughter Heaven shines as a musical prodigy whose curiosity about her missing grandfather sets off a chain of emotions that will change their worlds.

I've read both of Jill Vogt's books, and what impresses me most about them is her beautiful writing. I actually go back and read parts again because they are so touching.
