Colonial Courtships


Unexpected adventure catches the Ingersoll brothers by surprise-and brings unexpected love into their lives. Nathaniel has his sights set on becoming a master figurehead carver, until he risks everything for a woman. Jonathan's merchant trade and his new love are in jeopardy from a brother's animosity. Micah expects to settle down to peace after a life of fighting on the frontier but finds a young woman hiding from an abductor. Alden is press-ganged into tending an ailing naval captain, then catches sight of the captain's fetching niece. Will the unexpected end in four courtships?

The novella collection begins with Carving a Future, my story about the eldest brother, Nathaniel. Set in 1753.

Other novellas in this collection include: Trading Hearts by Amber Stockton, Over a Barrel by Laurie Alice Eakes, and Impressed by Love by Lisa Karon RIchardson.

The Shadow
                  Catcher's Daughter by Carla Olson Gade

"This book is a debut, but it reads like a literary journey by an experienced guide... I enjoyed every minute spent in this historic setting, vivid with wonderful details and obviously well researched.  Expect big things from this author!"  ~ Kathleen L. Maher, Novel Pastimes

"She must be a poet at heart, as well as a terrific novelist."
~ Ginger Solomon, A Bed of Roses Thorns Included


"The Shadow Catcher's Daughter is an unusual find:
a romance that goes a little deeper. There's more than just the relationship between the leads to explore. And that makes it more than worth your while."

~ Author, Carole Towriss

"Carla Olson Gade has written a lively and entertaining debut novel. A dry sense of humor manifests throughout the story, characters are memorable, and the peril is not so perilous as to overshadow a warm romance. Shadow Catcher’s Daughter will take you back to yesteryear at a time when America was young."
~ Author, Janalyn Voigt
