Worth Millions
When a penniless bookkeeper's last will names the richest man in Westchester as heir-and entrusts his beloved daughter Imogen to that same fortune-an old steward, a proud millionaire, and a shy country girl are swept into a maelstrom of greed, manners, and secret longing. Worth Millions is a propulsive 1920s tale of estates and auctions, broken promises and improbable kindness, where antique beds fetch fortunes, telegrams travel faster than truth, and an impulsive young scamp can turn a single evening into a lifetime of consequences.From the oak-paneled Killigrew library to the frozen runs of Lake Placid and the shabby grace of Dobbs's Corners, Richard Barry sketches a vivid world of class codes and private loyalties. Isaiah Scroggins is the heart of the story-the loyal superintendent who will risk everything for Imogen. Peter Killigrew is the reluctant magnate whose inherited caution clashes with a new, dangerous tenderness. And Imogen herself is the quiet, resolute center: a wildflower in a moneyed garden whose choices bind them all.Equal parts social comedy, romantic suspense, and moral fable, Worth Millions asks what a fortune is really worth-and what one must pay to redeem the human heart.

The Plumed Serpent
In the ancient world of Mayan intrigue, Rorek, a towering Norseman with fiery red hair, finds himself an unwitting deity among the pygmy warriors of Yucatan. Landing on the shores of the twelfth-century Mayan Empire, Rorek's Viking origins and divine appearance spark awe among the black-haired Mayans. Princess Taycapin, though skeptical, nicknames him Quetzalcoatl-the Plumed Serpent-recognizing his wisdom. Rorek gains favor with Emperor Za Ramna, but Taycapin's ambition to rule drives her to scheme against her brother. As political machinations unfold, Rorek, bound by Viking principles, refuses to partake in Taycapin's treachery and falls for Za Ramna's daughter, Za Chel, the "Sun Virgin." Richard Barry's epic adventure, The Plumed Serpent, weaves a tale of forbidden love, political intrigue, and cultural clash against the rich backdrop of ancient Mayan civilization.
