The Tobacco Lords Trilogy

Beginning in Glasgow during the Jacobite Rising of 1745, "The Tobacco Lords Trilogy" is the epic story of two very different women--Annabella Ramsay, the wilful and impetuous daughter of a rich Tobacco Lord, and Regina Chisholm, a child of the slums, born to a life of poverty and degredation yet determined to make something of herself.
As the story unfolds, their lives and loves become tragically intertwined, and the two women become deadly enemies--rivals in an all-consuming passion that will last a lifetime and follow them from the streets of Glasgow to the shores of the New World and the splendour of colonial Williamsburg.
