Love On A Dime

First in the series of Ladies of Summerhill novels by Cara Lynn James.

Newport, Rhode Island, 1899, is a place of shimmering waves, sleek yachts, and ladies of leisure. Of opulent mansions that serve as summer cottages for the rich and famous. Home of railroad magnates and banking tycoons--dashing young men and the women who aspire to marry them.

But it's not the place for lady novelists. Especially not those who pen disreputable dime novels. This poses a problem for Lilly Westbrook, because that's exactly what she does. No one in Lilly's social set knows she pens fiction under the nom-de-plume: Fannie Cole. Not her family or the wealthy young man about to propose to her. And especially not Jackson Grail, the long-lost beau who just bought her publishing company...and who stirs her heart more than she cares to admit.

What will Lilly do? Conform to the standards expected of her or follow her own expectations of herself? Will she marry to satisfy her family or fulfil her own sense of who she is? What courage will she need if she can’t find a man who will risk everything just to win her heart?
