Novels by Danielle A. Sterling
Book One
A Most Improper Arrangement
In Edwardian London, independent bank clerk Leonora Hart is reunited with ambitious merchant Albert Mercer. Friendship becomes desire—and an improper arrangement that may cost them their reputations, their security, and the futures they had planned.
Newly married, Lee and Albert leave England for Singapore. Across ports, cultures, and an expanding mercantile world, they must learn whether passion and partnership can endure the voyage—and whether Lee's uncommon gifts can help reshape Mercer & Co.
As Lee and Albert put down roots in Singapore, a newly acquired rubber-and-pineapple plantation promises both opportunity and peril. When a mounting crisis threatens everything they are building, they must fight to protect their future—and discover whether their deepening love can sustain the promises they intend to keep.
