The Four Seasons – Book 2:
That Autumn in Edinburgh
Can memories of a tragic, eighteenth century love triangle be passed down through a descendant’s DNA?
When Fiona Fraser’s mercurial boss dispatches the American designer to Edinburgh to create a Scottish Home Furnishings Collection, the chemistry deepens instantly when she and tartan manufacturer Alex Maxwell discover their ancestral bonds to the star- crossed lovers Thomas Fraser—the “Lost Lieutenant”—and Jane Maxwell, the flamboyant 4th Duchess of Gordon who died in 1812.
From the cobbled streets of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile to the tartan and cashmere mills of the Scottish border country, the modern lovers grapple with the imminent threat of financial ruin to their respective firms, along with ancient wounds echoing down through time... and a heartbreaking mystery, hidden for more than two centuries, that will dictate Alex and Fiona’s own destinies...

The Four Seasons Quartet Book 3
That Winter in Venice is a sequel to
Midnight on Julia Street
If you enjoyed meeting Kingsbury Duvallon and Corlis McCullough in That Winter in Venice, you will love reading their own story in Midnight on Julia Street, a novel of scandal that transcends time in the Big Easy.
The sultry streets of pre-Katrina New Orleans, the glamorous Garden District, derelict riverfront cotton warehouses, and gritty back alleys come alive in this time-slip novel of a feisty reporter who inexplicably glides between the nineteenth century and the modern world. A long-forgotten drama of blackmail, swindles, and a love affair that is still changing lives leaves Corlis and King wondering if their burgeoning, unholy attraction will render them pawns in a matrix of mystery and deceit.
“Vibrant and exciting... an intriguing plot full of rich characters that I couldn’t wait to see what happened.” – Literary Times
“Wonderful storyteller, Ciji Ware is in rare form with this intriguing and terrific novel.” – RT Book Reviews

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Ciji Ware is the New York Times and USAToday bestselling author of ten novels, a novella, and two nonfiction works. She is the daughter, niece, and descendant of writers, so writing fiction is just part of the “family business.” She has been honored with the Dorothy Parker Award of Excellence and a Romantic Times Award for Best Fictionalized Biography for Island of the Swans, and in 2012, was shortlisted in the prestigious WILLA (Cather) Literary Award for A Race to Splendor.
An Emmy-award winning television producer, former radio and TV on-air broadcaster for ABC in Los Angeles, as well as print and online journalist, Ware received a BA in History from Harvard University and has the distinction of being the first woman graduate of Harvard College to serve as the President of the Harvard Alumni Association, Worldwide. As a result of Ware’s first novel, Island of the Swans, she was made a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland (FSA Scot), and in 2015 was named to the “Martha’s Vineyard Writers-in-Residence” program—both honors she treasures.
The author lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and can be contacted through her agents, Celeste Fine at Sterling-Lord Literistic (nonfiction), and Elizabeth Trupin-Pulli at Jet Literary.com, (fiction), or at cijiware.com.
