The Series
Two books, one buried truth
Read in order. Each book is a complete love story and mystery — but together they trace a single forged inheritance across two centuries, and the women who refused to let the record erase them.
Book One
The Empress of Ink
Where the series begins
Coming December 2026 · Edited & proofed
A rare-book empress authenticates a lost library and finds a forgery built for her hands alone — and a cache of 1886 letters that seem to know things she has never told anyone. The deeper she reads, the more the past stops feeling like history and starts feeling like a message.
Book Two
The Widow’s Ledger
The reckoning
Coming July 2027 · Outlined
A packet of forged Victorian papers surfaces beneath a widow’s winter rose — and the truth it was buried to hide could destroy the very women it was meant to protect. The inheritance comes due, and someone has been waiting a very long time to collect.
