I still cannot believe it. I have been reading, aka devouring, Bethany House Publishers’ books since I was 12. I would go to the library and scan the book spines with my fingertips, selecting piles of books solely because of the BHP logo until I had read every Historical Fiction book that I could find by them in my library. Today, I am honored and thrilled to announce that I have signed a 3-book deal with Bethany House for a Historical Romance set in the Gilded Age. God is amazing!!!!! 🙌🏻🎉💗

I got teary-eyed when I opened the email from my editor and saw my cover for MY DEAR MISS DUPRÉ. And I have to say, Bethany House’s design team perfectly captured the romantic, playful mood of my latest tale.

Unlike my last two novels, which were True Crime meets Historical Romantic Suspense, this one is strictly a Historical Romance with just a thread of suspense.

Are You READY

for the Cover Reveal?!?!

My Dear Miss Dupré (March 2021, Bethany House Publishers) Grace Hitchcock

The goal was simple, find a husband so she could be queen of her father’s sugar empire. Thirty suitors, six months of courting…was that enough time for her to fall in love?

Willow Dupré never thought she would have to marry, but with her father’s unexpected retirement from running the prosperous Dupré sugar refinery, plans changed. The shareholders are unwilling to allow a female to take over the company without a man at her side, so her parents devise a plan — find Willow a spokesman king in order for her to become queen of the empire.

Willow is presented with thirty potential suitors from the families of New York society’s elite group called the Four Hundred. She has six months to court the group and is expected to eliminate men each month to narrow her beaus until she chooses one to marry, ending the competition with a wedding. Willow reluctantly agrees, knowing she must do what is best for the business. She doesn’t expect to find anything other than a proxy . . . until she meets Cullen Dempsey, and she must discover for herself if his motives are pure.
