Three Books for a Special Price

The “secret society” of friends who have vowed to uphold justice, harmony, and loyalty. If there is trouble, they’re bound to be in the middle of it.

Lydia Pelton – The Author

She is generally willing to go along with any plan, as much for story inspiration as to support her friends.

Nora Davis – The Singer

The quiet one of the group, she is the most level-headed… and the one keeping secrets from them all.

Flossie Gibson – The Potter

Flossie never backs down when it comes to her friends, or when it comes to standing against the tyranny of a male-dominated world. She’ll prove to everyone her worth–and the capabilities of women–in business and in adventure.

Theresa Plane – The Painter

Impulsive and the first one to come up with an outrageous plan, Theresa is the group mischief-maker. She knows whatever happens, her friends will never abandon her…not like her former fiancé did.

Do I have to read the books in order?

While each book is best enjoyed if read in order, each story stands on its own.

Why is Counterfeit Love a separate book from the Art of Love and Danger?

Counterfeit Love was Crystal’s debut novel and was written before she conceived the idea of the Guardians. One sentence from Counterfeit Love inspired Lydia’s story, and Crystal knew she had to write it. Then Guardians evolved, and it was too late to make Theresa’s book part of the series. So now Theresa’s book becomes the bridge for two series of adventure. 

What formats are the books available in?

All books are available in print and e-book. Written in Secret and Counterfeit Love are also available in audiobook. If your library doesn’t have them, you can request them.
