Summer 1902

Peyton Quinn is tasked with preparing the grand Calumet Castle ballroom for a spectacular two-hundred-guest summer gala. As she works in a male-dominated position of upholsterer and fights for women’s equality, she’s persecuted for her unorthodox ways. But when her pyrotechnics-engineer father is seriously hurt, she takes over the plans for the fireworks display despite being socially ostracized.

Patrick Taylor, Calumet’s carpenter and Peyton’s childhood chum, hopes to win her heart, but her unconventional undertakings cause a rift. Peyton has to ignore the prejudices and persevere or she could lose her job, forfeit Patrick’s love and respect, and forever become the talk of local gossips.

Peyton’s Promise, a historical fiction novel with a sweet romance, will transport you to the Gilded Age retreat of Calumet Island in the Thousand Islands, off the coast of New York. Peyton Quinn already risks her reputation by working in a man’s occupation and for women’s rights. When her injured father needs her to take over the fireworks show for the grand ball, will she lose her job and the man she loves as well?
