Title: Beneath The Lilac Tree: The Bridie McMahon Trilogy #2
William Fairfax is hiding a dreadful secret. A name change does little to mollify the fear of discovery, and his cover is almost blown by Laura the girl he has fallen in love with, when he accepts an invitation to dinner, and is introduced to Viscount George De Ville, Bridie's son, who feels certain they have met before.
George’s mother, Countess of Brindlecote, is determined to improve the lot of the working classes, especially the miners following the General Strike. Bridie McMahon cannot forget her past, when she, a naïve young girl, along with her family, experienced life in the notorious courts of Liverpool. She sets out on a mission to reinstate Bramdene Castle as a hospital, but can she alleviate the jealousy she still attracts from some quarters, and persuade the more affluent in society to recognise the need for change?
Laura is admitted to hospital following an accident, where she is cared for by a pretty Irish nurse. On a visit to George’s home, William is introduced to the Countess, and something stirs in his memory … his friend’s mother is the image of that nurse. Strange indeed …
The story of Bridie and Alfie continues and is filled with unexpected surprises around a well woven plot ... a compelling read.
Black clouds are looming over Europe. Britain has scarcely recovered from the shocking abdication of Edward the Eighth before the announcement comes that the country is at war with Germany.
Determined to play her part, Bridie along with Mary, volunteer to drive an ambulance for the Red Cross. The ravages of war bring back memories of another conflict, as maimed soldiers are brought back from overseas, often with scarce hope of survival.
On an impromptu visit to London, Bridie’s world crashes around her when she sees the wreckage of a car she recognises, flattened beneath a load of masonry triggered by an unexploded bomb … it belonged to Alfie. In a state of shock, she returns to Cornwall. But will she find an answer to the desolation that engulfs her?
When the dreadful news comes that her son George, on a dangerous mission over Germany, is reported missing in action, Bridie’s worry is exacerbated; for Lucinda, her daughter-in-law has shared some surprising news. But will George ever hear it …?
Join Bridie McMahon on her third outing as she battles adversity in trying times, with a strong heart and a will to help and nurture those in her life.
I was born in the Midlands and after a varied career ranging from post office counter clerk to surgical fitter, landlady/hotelier to social care, finally retiring from Social Services to live on a narrowboat with my husband Ken and staffie Meg. I have always loved reading, especially historical sagas. I love being transported to times past, and my social work brought me in close contact with some very interesting older people. I would listen as they told me about their lives, sometimes hard but never dull. I learned a lot from my grandma who was a singer in the Music Hall, and was born the same year as 'Bridie' 1893, and latterly my mother-in-law who was in service at a large ancestral home just outside Rugby.
</p> <p> It was some years after retirement when the urge to really write came. I'd always enjoyed writing the odd poem, and was pleased when some were accepted for publication by People's Friend. Short stories followed and a couple were published in the Yours Magazine Annual. This spurred me on, and the idea came for a novel. I've always loved anything Irish, especially their folklore and their music; I could see in my head this young girl and her family fleeing the famine of their homeland.
Bridie McMahon was born.
So real to me did she become, I lived and breathed her life, often finding myself hurting when she was hurt and smiling when her life took a turn for the better. I was pleased that she won the hearts of many readers. So much so, the sequel 'Beneath The Lilac Tree' followed and now the final book in the trilogy 'Poppies Among The Barley' is here, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Your comments are always appreciated, whether in the form of a review on Amazon or on my book page on Facebook.

I was nothing, a washed up,useless nobody to them. The angered look that permanently etched my face wasn't new for any of them. The resting bitch face was something that defined me, Davina, the spoiled, unhappy, selfish brat. I suppose they were right about that . I really wasn't a happy go lucky girl. I didn't carry around a cheery disposition. I didn't grow up showered with love and affection or dolls and ponies. I wasn't a pampered princess like that.
No. I was raised with wolves.

Knights Of Sin MC Series by Erin Trejo
Series: Knights of Sin MC Series
Author: Erin Trejo
Genre: MC Romance
Titles: Never Letting Go, Learning to Love, Fighting for a Chance, Keeping Faith, One More Try, and Promise of Love
MICAH: Ten years ago I fucked up. I pushed the one thing I loved the most away. I watched her run as far as she could. I ruined the love we had. I threw myself into the Marine's thinking I could get her out of my system. That didn't work.
When I came back I got the worst news ever. Or so I thought. Now I'm forced to keep a promise I made and find the one girl that stole my heart.
AUBRIE: We had a love that was stronger than it should have been. He threw it away though. After a series of unfortunate events, I was settled and stable.
Happy? Not quiet but when Micah shows up and rocks my world to the core I'm forced back into my old life. A life I ran from. Now being back in the one place I used to call home, I don't know where I belong.
Bullet: I fought my way through life. Family was an important part of that. I kept myself away from them not wanting to see the disgust of my father. My club was all the family I needed. When I was taken and forced into a living hell, the one thing that kept me going was the unknown girl next to me. Getting her out alive was my priority. After I do, I have to make the toughest decision of my life.
Trinity: I was never wanted. My father used me to his advantage. I was taken for his debts. I thought I would die. I wanted to. That faceless man that kept me going was all I looked forward to. Until he was gone. When he finds me again, I have to learn to love. Can he be the one to show me how?
Dax: I was a fighter. I was good at it. When I met Laura I thought I was having a round of hot sex like usual. When I saw her for who she truly was, I wanted more. A lot more. She had her own problems but I wasn't ready to let go just yet. I'll fight for what I want even if she does push me away.
Laura: I have a past that won't go away. Literally. Hector hasn't gotten the message that I don't want him. A night with Dax turns into more. I didn't plan on it. Every single time I turned around, he was there and I found myself liking it. But Hector remains a problem. A problem that quickly gets out of hand.
Kane: Unhappily married. Yeah, that sums up my life. I messed up with that shit decision. I still have my sister though. When I attend her wedding, I run into an old friend. Ivy. When she admits that she had feelings for me, I take her home like any good man would do. I didn't expect all the complications that came with it though. She was used before me and I want to show her that I'm not the same as him. The problem is, I am.
Ivy: I fought cancer and won. I fought a useless husband and won. When I see Kane again, I lose. Badly. I always had a crush on him when we were kids. I never thought the feelings would still be there years later. One night with him and my world is thrown off balance. His club is his life and I know that. When my cancer comes back in full force, I do the one thing I can. I run. He will chase me. He told me he would. When the tables turn, will I do the same?
Dark. Damaged. Out of control.
Darkness has always surrounded me. It’s what I was used to. My past haunts me with every blink of my eyes. I’ve done things that you can not even imagine. One drunken night with Shannon, my club’s president’s niece and I was fucked again. We all knew she was off limits, yet I was the loophole. I wrecked and ruined her thinking my demons would tear her limb for limb. What I didn’t expect was to have feelings for her. What I expected even less was for her to reciprocate those feelings. So many things happen and now I’m seeing her for who she truly is. Now I wonder if she’s just as dark and damaged as I am.
Link: I was a virgin. Yeah, the laugh of the club. It didn't bother me though. I saw the way my parent's and I didn't want to be like that. I love this club. I'd do anything for them. When I met Jordyn, that loyalty was tested. The things that happened between us quickly defined us. I've held out hope that love was out there for me.
Jordyn: I ran from one bad situation to another. When the club I fell into sent me to another to get information, I thought it would be easy. I didn't think I'd fall for the man I was supposed to be spying on. Not wanting to hurt him, I ran. He found me. Now I have to face the music and the man I've fallen for.
I am a wife, mother, child chauffeur and author. I love being able to create different characters and spin a web that makes them come together in the end. My books do not stick to just one genre, they span many.
I write about things that are real life situations and fairy tales are not always smooth sailing. My MC books are hard and gritty and they have struggles just like you would in life.
I also have books that are not so in your face. There are several that are good love stories that are fraught with issues that the characters have to deal with.
