Lady in the Mist (Midwives)
By virtue of her profession as a midwife, Tabitha Eckles is the keeper of many secrets: the names of fathers of illegitimate children, the level of love and harmony within many a marriage, and now the identity of a man who may have caused his wife's death. Dominick Cherrett is a man with his own secret to keep: namely, what he, a British nobleman, is doing on American soil working as a bondsman in the home of Mayor Kendall, a Southern gentleman with his eye on a higher office.
By chance one morning before the dawn has broken, Tabitha and Dominick cross paths on a misty beachhead, leading them on a twisted path through kidnappings, death threats, public disgrace, and . . . love? Can Tabitha trust Dominick? What might he be hiding? And can either of them find true love in a world that seems set against them?
With stirring writing that puts readers directly into the story, Lady in the Mist expertly explores themes of identity, misperception, and love's discovery.

Vintage Black Mesh Convertible WHITING & DAVIS Shoulder Bag Clutch Cross-Body
This very stylish, well-made black mesh purse is by Whiting & Davis, renowned makers since 1876 of women's mesh purses and chains, as well as costume jewelry and now industrial mesh.
As a clutch, this bag is glamorous enough for holiday parties and special nights out ... yet it's clean and contemporary profile would also look great worn cross-body or over the shoulder to wear out to lunch with your girlfriends on the weekend.
*** I think this bag would look especially terrific with jeans or a skirt and a vintage black motorcycle jacket! ***
About the bag ...
+ Inside is a single compartment lined with Whiting & Davis' signature fabric.
+ A black leather-like piping trims the front flap, giving the bag a polished finish.
+ The sides are gusseted with the same leather-like material so it expands.
+ The long, black leather-like strap is long enough to wear over a shoulder (20" drop) or cross body ... removable so it can convert the bag to a clutch ... as well as shortenable by crossing it under the front flap to create a 12.5" drop.
