Two for Victory

Available Now -

Two for Victory follows the intertwined journeys of CC Gallagher, a young New England journalist turned copywriter, and Joe Butler, an advertising wunderkind turned Army Air Forces pilot. Set against the high-pressure world of 1940s New York advertising and the brutal realities of wartime training and combat, their stories illuminate the unseen forces that shaped the American home front.

As CC steps into Joe’s role as a “war replacement,” she uncovers a truth the agency had not foreseen—and becomes an essential voice in a national campaign that will redefine women’s place in the workforce. Across the ocean, Joe fights to become the pilot he must be, even as the war strips away every certainty he once had.

Connected first through duty, then through letters, CC and Joe form a bond powerful enough to survive the distance between them—but not all the dangers of war.

When CC finally travels to London to meet him, she discovers the heartbreaking cost of courage, and the truth that victory sometimes comes at the deepest personal price.

Where the Olive Trees Listen

Available Now -

The second book in the Three Hearts Trilogy follows Suzanne Butler—daughter of war hero Joe Butler and journalist CC Gallagher—as she steps out of her parents’ long shadows and into a world entirely her own.

Set against the sunlit beauty of the Greek islands and the glittering streets of 1970s Paris, Suzanne accepts a summer job teaching American English to three privileged children from one of the world’s wealthiest families. Behind the walls of their breathtaking estate, she finds a family quietly collapsing under the weight of power, expectation, and silence.

And then she meets Nikos—an American medical student helping run his family’s seaside taverna for the summer. Thoughtful, intuitive, and carrying wounds from Vietnam, Nikos is quietly working on a groundbreaking research paper that seeks to name the psychological trauma generations of soldiers carried home in silence. His work resonates deeply with Suzanne, whose own family history is marked by unspoken sorrow and inherited scars.

Their connection is unexpected and transformative. As Suzanne helps the Faucheux children find their voices, she becomes a catalyst for healing in a fractured household—and begins to see, for the first time, the fractures running through her own lineage.

When tragedy forces Suzanne to confront her deepest fears, she and Nikos must navigate a painful misunderstanding, a long flight home, and a revelation about her grandmother Patricia that will open the door to a century-old family secret.

The daughter of two people who once fought to change the world, Suzanne now faces her own defining choice:

What kind of life—and what kind of love—is she willing to fight for?

The O’Doherty Sisters

Coming Soon -

The O’Doherty Sisters returns to the beginning of the Gallagher–Butler legacy—to the women who started it all. Set in early-twentieth-century America, when industry is booming, cities swell with new immigrants, and innovations like automobiles, telephones, and electricity reshape daily life, women begin stepping into classrooms, offices, and factories in numbers their mothers never imagined. It is an age of restless momentum and fierce resistance, when society’s old boundaries strain under the weight of change.

Within this charged landscape, the spirited O’Doherty sisters come of age.

Raised in the long shadow of their brilliant older sister Estelle—whose life was forever changed by the 1895 Charleston earthquake—the younger O’Doherty girls struggle to define themselves as tradition collides with modernity. Their choices in love, loyalty, and independence draw them into the great forces of their age: war abroad, political awakening at home, and the rising conviction that women’s voices must shape the future.

Unbeknownst to them, the secrets born in this generation will echo across decades, shaping the lives of CC Gallagher in Two for Victory and Suzanne Butler in Where the Olive Trees Listen.

Told through journals, letters, and intimate interviews that cross generations, the story follows Suzanne as she uncovers her heritage piece by fragile piece—until she meets the last surviving Hale, Tom Hale Jr.’s youngest sister. Tom was Estelle’s lost fiancé, and the elderly woman still remembers her with remarkable tenderness. Through her recollections, Suzanne finally hears the love story time tried to bury.

Sweeping, intimate, and steeped in the transformative spirit of early twentieth-century America, The O’Doherty Sisters reveals how one generation’s hopes, heartbreaks, and truths reverberate through time—binding three novels, and three extraordinary women, into one unforgettable legacy.
