Pride goes before the fall. 1900s Austrian Tyrol. Fritz Hanny, confident and optimistic, enjoys the prestige of belonging to one of the most respected families in the Reschen Valley. When he falls in love with Cecilia, a young girl in a neighboring village, he is certain he has found his purpose in life. Already on his way to making his own fortune, Fritz pursues Cecilia only to be cut down by one external force after another. Disappointment, violence, and conflict turn Fritz into a desperate man. When the Great War ends, Fritz is trapped between two borders: on one side, the family he has. On the other, the family he wants. This is a stand-alone novella and a prequel to NO MAN'S LAND, the first book in the Reschen Valley series.

ON THE JOURNEY TO DISCOVERING WHO YOU ARE, MORE OFTEN YOU FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE NOT.
1937. Northern Italy. New conflicts loom on the horizon for Italy and Austria and Annamarie has found her ticket out of her strife-ridden valley...in the form of a minister's son and a Fascist uniform.
The series that people are saying is "filled with political tension and intrigue," "explosive" and "evocative."
No Man's Land: Reschen Valley Part 1
She wants her home. He wants control. The Fascist regime wants both.
1920, former Austrian Tyrol. As her grandfather’s last living relative, Katharina Thaler is set to become the first woman to ever own a farm in the Tyrolean Reschen Valley. The end of the Great War has taken more than her beloved family, it has robbed the province of its autonomy and cut it in two.
While her countrymen fight to prevent the annexation to Italy, Katharina finds a wounded Italian engineer. Her decision to save Angelo Grimani’s life thrusts them both into a labyrinth of corruption, prejudice, and greed.
Trapped between a Fascist new world order and a man who threatens to tear her home away, Katharina must decide what to protect: love or country?
