Magical historical romance that arches over the Atlantic

In 1821 England, the Earl of Montegut, Lord Grayling Dunstan, has just traveled to America in search of a William Marshall, who purchased a quilt that the English aristocrat wants. The quilt is no ordinary cover because it is a Montegut heirloom that allegedly contains a map where his ancestors buried a treasure. Grayling realizes that the quilt, long shot that it might be, is his only hope to pay off the debts of his father. In Natchez-Under-the-Hill, Louisiana, Grayling meets William's niece, who actually possesses the quilt. He asks for her uncle and the quilt. Thinking she is protecting her relative, she refuses to respond to his inquiry. However, before he can follow up, someone steals the quilt. The twosome pursues the thief even as they learn the true treasure is inside their hearts. PATTERNS OF LOVE is a magical historical romance that will entice fans of cross-Atlantic tales. The story line is exciting and adds much to the "Quilting Romance" series. The crisp characterizations and the accompanying dialogue allow readers to distinguish between the players from different sides of the ocean. This individualism will leave sub-genre fans beholden to Christine Holden for a wonderful story.Harriet Klausner
