​

Two for Victory follows the intertwined journeys of CC Gallagher, a young New England journalist turned copywriter, and Joe Butler, an advertising wunderkind who leaves Madison Avenue to become an Army Air Forces pilot.

Set between the high-pressure world of 1940s New York advertising and the brutal realities of wartime training and combat, their stories reveal the unseen forces that helped shape the American home front.

When CC steps into Joe’s role as a “war replacement,” she discovers truths the agency had never anticipated—and becomes an unexpected voice in a national campaign that begins to redefine women’s place in the workforce.

Across the ocean, Joe fights to become the pilot the war demands, even as combat strips away every certainty he once believed in.

Connected first through duty and then through letters, CC and Joe forge a bond strong enough to cross an ocean at war—but not every danger can be outrun.

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

​

The second novel 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 English to three privileged children from one of the world’s wealthiest families. Behind the walls of their breathtaking estate, she discovers a household quietly collapsing beneath the weight of power, expectation, and silence.

Then she meets Nikos—an American medical student helping run his family’s seaside taverna while quietly researching the psychological trauma carried home by generations of soldiers, wounds that had long gone unnamed. 

Drawn together by curiosity, compassion, and their shared awareness of the hidden costs of war, Suzanne and Nikos form a connection that changes them both.

But when tragedy and misunderstanding threaten to pull them apart, Suzanne must confront the deeper truths of her own family history—and decide what kind of life, and what kind of love, she is willing to fight for.

The O’Doherty Sisters

Coming Soon -

​

The final novel in the Three Hearts Trilogy returns to the beginning of the Gallagher–Butler legacy—to the remarkable women who started it all.

Set in early twentieth-century America, an age of restless momentum and fierce resistance, the spirited O’Doherty sisters come of age as industry surges, cities swell with new immigrants, and women begin stepping beyond the boundaries their mothers once knew.

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

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.

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