Blue Earth

From the highly acclaimed author of ALTERED LAND and MISTER CANDID, comes a sweeping love story that spans generations and decades, from rural Ireland to the oil fields of Alaska to the country estates of the English aristocracy

ONE MAN. THREE WOMEN. AND THE TWIST OF FATE THAT BINDS THEM. When Billy Ray Rickman boards the Queen Mary in 1957 he leaves his humble Minnesotan background, his family farm and his demons behind to head for riches and prosperity in the burgeoning oil industry and High Society London. It is here on the first class promenade deck that Billy Ray falls in love with Lady Jacqueline Cooper, the beautiful American heiress who captures his heart like no other… Until Billy Ray meets the aristocratic Isobel, a fiery English Rose whose love is out of bounds and above social convention… but nothing is beyond the realms of possibility for the self-made Billy Ray. Including Maggie Regan, Lady Cooper''s raven-haired servant girl, an Irish beauty who escaped incarceration in a convent, only to commit to a life of domestic service… and to a secret she carries to her grave.
