Her Ebony

Prickly and difficult, spinster schoolmarm Minerva Krenshaw hides behind her shabby dresses and sad bonnet. She's used to being invisible—until Miss Ebony White catches her eye. Abigail Whithall escaped an abusive apprenticeship and is saving all her money from working at the Jeweled Ladies for her own dress shop. But more than the latest styles, she needs respectability—and to learn how to read. She offers to sew new clothes for the most respectable Minerva in exchange for reading lessons. But their lessons go far beyond letters. Will Minerva give in to the passion Ebony promises—or will she go back on her word? The Jeweled Ladies series by Maggie Chase will delight fans of historical westerns by Victoria Dahl, Molly O'Keefe and Vanessa Vale. "Interested in some sexy stories set in the American West? His Topaz, Their Emerald and Her Ebony will fit the bill. I look forward to seeing what Maggie Chase writes next." - Jennifer Porter, Romance Novel News "I like that this book tackled some unusual issues for a story set in the old west. An interracial, lesbian relationship is definitely something you don't see everyday in a typical western romance. But in the Jeweled Ladies series, everybody gets a happy ending, no matter what their circumstances." - Goodreads reviewer Mary Dieterich
