A Surprise For Abigail

Publisher’s Weekly bestselling author Tracey J Lyons brings listeners, Lydia’s Passion, book 2 in the popular and quirky Women of Surprise series with narration by Kimberly Austin. Lydia’s Aunt Margaret Monroe always had a way of meddling in the lives of her three nieces. Therefore, it was no shock to learn she wants Lydia to be the new schoolteacher in the town of Surprise. A bit spoiled, and used to being unencumbered by responsibilities, Lydia can’t believe she’ll be in charge of a roomful of children. Afterall, she has no experience, but she would do anything for her aunt.

Alexander Judson, the head of the school committee has serious doubts about Miss Lydia and is very vocal about voicing his misgivings about her ability to teach to anyone who will listen.

Deciding she’s up for this challenge, and determined to prove the man wrong, Lydia attacks her new position with gusto. No one is more surprised than Lydia herself when she earns the love and respect of the children, but Alexander is still not convinced even though his two children bring home glowing reports of Miss Lydia. He continues to thwart her every move.

Ever since his wife died in a tragic fall, he’s been unwavering in keeping his family from the cutting pain of such a loss again. He is convinced that no other woman can ever hold his heart or those of his children. Lydia feels Alexander is an over protective parent and worries about his son and daughter.

It will take another near, tragic accident, some interference from the townsfolk and some forgiveness on both their parts for Lydia and Alexander to realize they can build a family together.

Lydia's Passion

In book three of the bestselling Women of Surprise series, narrator Kimberly Austin brings Tracey J Lyons’ Making Over Maggie to life! Maggie Monroe, the third of the Monroe cousins, has always been headstrong, and straightlaced. When aunt Margaret hires a flamboyant drifter named Samuel Clay to be Maggie’s second hand in the opening of the new Surprise dance hall, Maggie finds her peaceful, staid existence turned upside-down.

The dance hall was her project, and the reason she stayed in the small upstate New York town of Surprise to begin with. For the months that Maggie had been in town visiting her aunt and two cousins she has seen what could happen when their aunt offers her guidance. Maggie doesn’t want or need a man, or romance in her life. She is an independent businesswoman and entirely too busy for such nonsense.

Samuel Clay takes one look at the town of Surprise and knows this is a place where he can finally leave his past behind him. But after meeting Maggie Monroe he realizes he’s in for a bit of trouble. She disagrees with every decision he makes regarding the dance hall, but he plows ahead trying to do the job for which he has been hired. At every turn Maggie defies him. And when she is not subverting his business decisions, she’s hounding him about his family. Family connections hold a lot of meaning for Maggie. For Samuel, family is best forgotten, until the day they show up in Surprise.

Though she is unwilling to admit it, Maggie realizes that she needs Samuel’s help. And along the way she develops feelings for him. Samuel decided to pour on the charm to get his way, but little does he know that by charming Maggie, she has actually made him realize that he needs her for more than just making the dance hall a success.
