About Cate Parke

Cate is a writer of historical and contemporary romance...and is also a professional pediatric nurse who recently added a new position to her life's resume--retired. She now lives in the foothills of the beautiful Smoky Mountains of Northeast Tennessee with her husband and two demented Siamese cats. With her husband, a retired U.S. Navy officer, she lived and traveled widely, not only throughout the United States, but also Canada, Mexico, and lovely England. She spent several years living in her (almost) favorite American city, Charleston, SC, which provides the setting for her first three novels and strong elements for the fourth. She has always been interested in history...really interested. About as much as she loves books.

Before writing a contemporary romantic fiction, Cate stayed awake nights asking such questions as who are these characters? And could really ancient books still exist? Could a private collector within a single family conserve an ancient book for a millennium and a half...and under what conditions? What about the family that cared for the book? Who might those people have been? What book could possibly be so precious that a single family felt duty-bound to preserve it above all else? And finally, would the prospect of marriage to a royal prince really be a fantasy come true?

Alex Campbell is a contemporary romance novel, Cate's fourth book in The Dreams of Oakhurst series. She loves to hear from her readers and welcomes visits to her website, http://www.cateparkeauthor.com where you'll find her blog, called Tuesday's Child, where she can be contacted.

Patriot's Dreams: The Dreams of Oakhurst, Book III Oct 12, 2017

by Cate Parke

$0.99

The American colonies had been at war with their mother country for five interminable years. Frustrated by their inability to subdue the conflict in the North, the British resolve to bring the war south. Major Richard Berkeley stands ready to surrender his life to stop them . . . all for the sake of a patriot's dreams.

North of Charlestowne, on the banks of the Ashley River lies Oakhurst, Richard’s plantation, that becomes the lethal tip of his sharp spear. His greatest treasure, his beautiful wife Alexandra, is the key to planning and execution of a complex and perilous mission. While he is away fighting the war, she will manage the plantation, supply his troops, and persuade not only the British, but also her Tory neighbors into believing a brazen lie—that she and Richard are loyal subjects of the British crown. She is grace personified—bred from untold generations of Britain’s royalty and highest nobility. Nobody would doubt her sincerity. But a dangerous few suspect treason—and one of them will stop at nothing to discover their secret.

Will his ambitions and her fears imperil their future?

In Charlestowne, South Carolina Colony, 1769, a ship docks containing a treasure beyond most men’s dreams—Lord Edward’s lovely daughter, Alexandra—destined for one fortunate man, Richard Berkeley.

Although he’s the scion of a wealthy, prominent family, the arranged marriage unlocks the door to far greater wealth and power than Richard ever hoped to achieve. He soon learns his lordship’s offer to instate him as his sole heir isn’t the only treasure worth risking his life for. Alexandra is the true prize.

Intrigued by the proud, wealthy beauty soon to become his wife, Richard sets aside his mistress. But Eliza Perrineau had long schemed to become Richard’s fiancée and is furious when he cast her off. Her plans for revenge quickly swell wildly and threaten to destroy Richard. Her cousin, Lord Thomas Graham plans to ensure his untimely demise and has him charged with her murder. Unless Richard can prove his innocence fast, he’ll swing for a crime he didn’t commit.
Alexandra has her own secrets—including deep-seated fears that imperil their chance for happiness. But Richard discovers Alexandra’s love is a prize worth protecting—if only he can help her overcome her fears and past struggles to create a marriage truly worthy of their love.

Alex Campbell is a physician, the youngest pediatric oncologist anywhere. She’s brilliant and driven to succeed. Work fulfills her—until she meets Richard Wales and he becomes the dream she believed might never come true.
Richard Wales is the spare, not the heir, with a Navy career to develop. But when he meets Alex Campbell in Heatherton’s bookshop, he discovers he must defy far more than social convention—or risk losing the only woman who ever mattered.
De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae no longer exists. Though the oldest known copy is a thousand years old, the monk, Gildas, penned it half a millennium earlier. It contains a close-held secret. Where is the original? Gone…crumbled to dust. Or is it? And who would kill to prevent the book from coming to light?
