Jamie Carie
Jamie Carie was born and raised in Vincennes, Indiana, and is a preacher’s daughter. Road trips with her father to and from Bible studies all across Indiana were filled with talks about things beyond earth’s bound creation and the fall, the earthly walk compared to the spiritual walk, Jesus and God and the rapture, and how we are born for more than just what we can touch or see. The highlight of these nights was stopping at a tuck stop in the middle of the night where her dad spent a bit of the offering basket on a couple of Cokes and two slices of pie.

There was nothing that could keep the writing from pouring out of her. Piles of short stories, poems, skits, and song lyrics later, she grew up and married. Once her oldest son turned five, she decided it was time to try her hand at a novel. Eight years and scores of rejections later, “Snow Angel” got published and won ForeWord Magazine’s Romance Book of the Year.

“Snow Angel” is the first stand alone novel and was released in 2007. Noah Wesley heard the faint sound just outside of his isolated Alaskan mountain cabin during this violent nighttime blizzard, it was no less than God’s voice urging him to take a closer look, quickly finding his snow angel.

More than half frozen to death and unconscious, her name was Elizabeth, as he would later learn after he boldly saved her life. She is a beautiful young woman, fierce yet fragile, and intent on discovering gold like so many others were in this region during the late 1800s.

However why Elizabeth was so drawn to this gold, and why she’d chase after it even through this pounding storm which no man would even dare face, was a secret that she wouldn’t share with anybody else, not even at the invitation of Noah’s deep blue trusting eyes.

Nominated for a Rita Award for Best First Book.

“The Duchess and the Dragon” is the second stand alone novel and was released in 2008. The epic story of two unlikely soulmates that live worlds apart yet soon meet and turn one another’s world upside down.

Duke of Northumberland, Drake Weston, is accustomed to a life of royalty up until this tragic mistake followed by murderous rage results in him suddenly fleeing from England. With a horde of money which to survive, he hops a ship of indentured servants to America just to get robbed and taken ill by this merciless sea voyage.

In Pennsylvania, Serena Winter is a devoted and humble Quaker on a mercy mission, tending to the sick onboard this ship which just arrived from England. Taken by Drake’s air of dark mystery while he serves as an apprentice to her silversmith dad, she falls in love and gets excommunicated after she accepts a non-Quaker’s marriage proposal.

Not knowing Drake’s own history, Serena is later stunned to learn of her new status as a duchess.

“Wind Dancer” is the third stand alone novel and was released in 2009. Isabelle Renoir was raised in a British-held frontier town during the American Revolution, and is not like the other women around her. A free spirit, she dances in the moonlight as a praise offering to God and is far more at home fearlessly taking her knife and long rifle into the woods for inspiration and adventure.

However her latest journey might be more than even her strength is able to handle when this huge storm throws this raven-haired beauty off course and into the path of Samuel Holt, a rugged American spy. After matching wits and denying their passion for each other, they’re attacked by Indians, held prisoner, and then forced to watch the horrific murder of her brother. Now together yet in captivity, they have to fight off spiritual forces which no rifle or knife could ever conquer in order to be set free.

“The Guardian Duke” is the first novel in the “Forgotten Castles” series and was released in 2012. “The Guardian Duke” is Jamie’s most exciting story to date, a uniquely Regency era romantic adventure where heroine and hero know one another through written letters but have not yet met.

Gabriel (the Duke of St. Easton) has been ordered by the King to take guardianship over Lady Alexandria Featherstone whose parents are presumed dead after their failed to return back home after a high profile treasure hunt. However Alexandria ignores the royal reassignment, believing that her parents are still alive and duly follows clues which might just lead to their whereabouts. Gabriel, having been pressured by what are actually the King’s own ulterior motives, pursues her across windswept England and the rolling green hills in Ireland yet is always a step behind.

Once they do actually meet, the search for earthly treasures is going to pale in comparison to what God has got planned for them.

“The Forgiven Duke” is the second novel in the “Forgotten Castles” series and was released in 2012. Alexandria Featherstone (tethered by her impulsive promise to marry Lord John Lemon, the path of least resistance) heads off toward Iceland to search for her parents with a leaden heart. A glimpse of the Duke of St. Easton, her guardian, the path less traveled by, on Dublin’s shore still haunts her.

Is he going to come after her? Is he going to drag her back to London, quelling her mission to rescue her treasure seeking parents, or may he decide to throw caution to the wind and choose Foy Pour Devoir: ‘Faith for Duty’, which is the St. Easton motto. The Featherstone motto Valens et Volens: ‘Willing and Able’, beats in her heart and thrums through her veins. She is going to find her parents and find their love, no matter what the cost.

The powerful yet wing-clipped Duke of St. Easton has never known the challenge which has become his life ever since he heard his ward’s name. Alexandria Featherstone is going to be the death or the life of him. Only God’s plan and time is going to reveal just how much this man is able to endure for the prize of love.
