About the author

Married to my high school sweetheart, I live on a farm in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with my human family and furbabies. An avid gardener, I grow herbs and heirloom flowers and use them in my stories. The rich history of Virginia, the Native Americans (especially the Shawnee), and the Scots-Irish are at the heart of my inspiration. My English, Scottish, and Scots-Irish ancestors were among the earliest settlers in America. I write historical romance set in the colonial frontier, the American Revolution, Georgian England, and 20th century America. I like a good ghost story, so some of my historical romances have paranormal and ghosts in them. In addition to historical romance and Native American/Western romance, I write time travel romance (some are Scottish time travels), Young Adult wolf shapeshifter paranormal sci-fi fantasy romance, New Adult fantasy paranormal time slip romance back and forth to the American Revolution, the Civil War, and World War 1… I also have nonfiction about gardening, herbs, and country life.

[Merry (Wants to Read RL getting in the Way)]

I found the first half to be very slow moving. It was hard setting up the plot since the hero was fighting for the British army and heroine was fighting for US independence. The character were never fleshed out. It was a love at first sight and I found it hard to accept.

What a powerful, beautifully woven story! I loved how both characters are torn by their loyalties yet drawn together by something deeper. The tension between betrayal and trust kept me turning the pages. It’s romantic, thought-provoking, and hauntingly written. I couldn’t put it down.

I thought Traitor's Legacy was a great read! I love all of Beth Trissel's books and this one is no exception. I can't wait for her next release.
5 stars.
