A luminous, Marquezesque tale from the New York Times bestselling author of “The Museum of Extraordinary Things,” “The Marriage of Opposites” is a forbidden love story set on a tropical island about the extraordinary woman who gave birth to painter Camille Pissarro the Father of Impressionism. Growing up on idyllic St. Thomas in the early 1800s, Rachel has dreams of life in faraway Paris. Rachel’s mother, a pillar of their small refugee community of Jews who escaped the Inquisition, has never forgiven her daughter for being a difficult girl who refuses to live by the rules. Growing up, Rachel’s salvation is their maid Adelle’s belief in her strengths, and her deep, life-long friendship with Jestine, Adelle’s daughter. But Rachel’s life is not her own. She is married off to a widower with three children to save her father’s business. When her older husband dies suddenly and his handsome, much younger nephew, Frederick, arrives from France to settle the estate, Rachel seizes her own life story, beginning a defiant, passionate love affair that sparks a scandal that affects all of her family, including her favorite son, who will become one of the greatest artists of France.

Kitchens recently released her latest long historical romance “Surrender Of A Highlander,” the first in the MacLachlan Clan series. Set in the Scottish Highlands in 1305, Sandra has been dubbed by her clan to be the MacEwen Charm, the one born to fulfill the prophecy to bring an end to the warring between the two clans. Lex MacLachlan has just returned to his homeland after being exiled since he was a boy, with only one thing on his mind, to end the MacEwen clan forever and fulfill the century long prophecy. One desires peace, one desires revenge. A marriage between a MacEwen and a MacLachlan to end the clan battles had been tried before, but it had been murderously cut short before the vows had barely been spoken.
