Brooklyn Bridges
Adella doesn't believe in curses, but 140 years of unhappy endings is hard to ignore.
Adella promised her dying mother she’d protect her younger sister. But her sister’s safety is threatened when they discover, beneath their Brooklyn brownstone, a hidden cellar that connects to the house next door. In the cellar, a crevice leads to an abandoned subway tunnel and a crate of old letters and journals warning the house might be cursed.
When a young man, Shah, moves into the house next door and his father’s suspicious behavior motivates Adella to investigate, the girls use the houses’ secret passageways to find proof of his father’s criminal activity. Adella must risk her sister and her own budding romance with Shah to keep him safe deep in the tunnel. If the curse of bad luck and betrayal from the past is real, someone is sure to be hurt.
Brooklyn Heights
New York, 1877. One of the greatest construction feats of the late Victorian age has begun: the Brooklyn Bridge. Workers hang dangerously from the bridge’s wires, and onlookers love to watch the towering bridge take shape.
One of those onlookers is Eliza, daughter of a wealthy Brooklyn merchant who supplies wire to the bridge. When she meets handsome Will, a poor Irish immigrant who works on the New York side of the bridge, she doesn’t expect anything from their meeting. After all, there’s the entire East River between them. But when Will and Eliza decide to leave each other secret letters, everything changes for both of them.
Just when their friendship blossoms, cold winters, the difference in their stations, and an exposed scam complicate their letter exchange and threaten to keep Will and Eliza apart. Will their connection continue to grow like the unfinished bridge that separates them?
D. Ogden Huff’s novella, written entirely in letters, delivers a front-row seat to the astounding construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. But affectionate Will and tenacious Eliza need determination, perseverance, and more than a few miracles for their love to reach greater heights.
Brooklyn Depths
Secrets and lies. Bad for a friendship. Worse for a budding romance.
When Prohibition threatens his family’s shop, Paul, an Italian young man in 1920s Brooklyn, suggests that their landlord open a speakeasy next door. Problem is, his pro-temperance best friend, Franny, abhors alcohol and anything associated with it.
Franny knows Paul better than anyone, including how music helps him escape his family’s tragic past. A decade earlier, half of Paul’s family died in the tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. While his older brother works three jobs, Paul is left to care for their Papa, whose mind shut down after the tragedy.
When Paul becomes embroiled in the music and danger of the speakeasy, his lies damage relationships with his broken family, his carelessness gets his brother arrested, and his secrets threaten his budding romance with Franny. Brooklyn Depths is a Historical Romance novella based on a fictional reimagining of the real lives of the Maltese family.
