Most passed through the great port of Liverpool on their way. The family of little Manuel Echaniz stayed.The Liverpool Basque is the story of Manuel’s childhood and coming of age in the teeming streets of the Mersey docklands. It is a story of poverty, comradeship, hardship and generosity.

Against all odds, he gets himself an education of sorts and sets off on the long voyage of his life.

A Philadelphia mansion plays host to uninvited death….1777: In the throes of the Revolutionary War, Landon Mansion is commandeered by British Lord «Butcher» Bedford.

Or is there another malevolent force at work in Landon Mansion? Wary, yet deeply attracted, Allison has to trust in Tyler and work with him to discover just what uninvited guest—dead or alive—has taken over the house. Or their lives could become history!
