Juliet Swan only came to Forks because Charlie asked her to. Her cousin was falling apart, and if a few weeks in a rainy little town could help pull Bella back together, Jules was willing to try. She never expected those few weeks to turn into months, or for Forks to begin feeling like home. And she certainly never expected Jacob Black. What begins as an unlikely friendship slowly becomes something more, giving Jules a reason to stay long after Bella no longer needs saving. But Bella returned from Italy with more than Edward Cullen. She returned with a promise. And when that promise goes unfulfilled, the Volturi decide to collect. Taken from her home and brought to Volterra as punishment for a bargain she never made, Juliet is given one assurance: if Bella keeps her word, she will be allowed to leave. So she waits. For Bella. For Jacob. For someone to come for her. But as days turn to weeks and hope begins to disappear, Juliet finds herself drawn to the one person she has every reason to hate. Alec Volturi is cruel, powerful, and everything she was taught to fear. Yet no matter how often they clash or how desperately they try to keep their distance, neither of them seems capable of staying away from the other. And when the people she loves fail to save her, Juliet begins to wonder if the monsters holding her captive are really the ones she should fear.

Young Roman aristocrat Catalina Bandinelli travels to Jerusalem to become the wife of Baldwin IV, heir to the Holy Land. Their union is meant to be a political alliance between Rome and Jerusalem, but it gradually turns into a story of profound love, faith, and sorrow. When Baldwin learns of the deadly illness that will shape his fate, Catalina remains by his side, helping him bear the burden of kingship, war, and a life slowly fading away. **Author's Note:** This story is a work of fiction inspired by real historical events surrounding Baldwin IV, the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and the era of the Crusades. Catalina and her storyline are entirely original creations woven into the existing history of that time. The book also partially reinterprets and draws inspiration from certain scenes and imagery from *Kingdom of Heaven*. I have always felt that Baldwin IV's story was tragically unfair. Unlike many great rulers, he never had someone by his side who could share his burden until the very end. This book is my attempt to imagine an alternative history in which the King of Jerusalem did have such a person - a woman who became not only his wife, but also his greatest source of strength and support.

Romy Lupin was a walking cliche. She has her father's metamorphmagus abilities and also seems to be a seer. During her last year at Hogwarts, Tom Riddle is brought from his teenage years at Hogwarts into the year 2047, and soon after Romy finds herself being sent back into time. Back in 1926 when Merope Gaunt was still pregnant. It's Romy's job to protect Tom Riddle Jr. from being taken into the wrong hands. It was all going to plan until Merope knocked the time turner and they ended up in 1916, in the middle of the first world war, and with no way to get back to 1926. There she meets the Shelby's and somehow manages to find her feet in dingy Small Heath with the help of Harry Fenton, Squib, and a distant family member.

After a tragic accident that sent her back 843 years in time to the year 1179, in the Middle Ages, during the reign of Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, Kate Mitchell, a wealthy business tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry, a gifted ex-military, a pharmacologist and botanist, and a brilliant archer from 2022, wakes up as Lady Philippa, a pretty, innocent, frail, and proper young lady of House Antioch, with whom she shares nothing in common. She realised she had died on that day, and her soul travels back in time and takes over the body of Philippa, a helpless lady who would face tragedy, betrayal, and scandal before dying young and heartbroken. She chose to live as Philippa because she had a second chance at life and only one goal in mind: to live and survive at any cost. To succeed, she must thrive and learn to live in the Medieval era, where nothing is common for her, and, above all, she must avoid an arranged marriage, which will doom Phillipa to death after a terrible heartbreak. Lady Philippa, unfortunately, is about to be engaged to an unknown man, and she must devise a plan to prevent this from happening. Kate's background as an ex-military officer, pharmacologist, and botanist, as well as her limited knowledge of history, will be invaluable in surviving the historical mediaeval times when modern technology was out of reach. However, she requires the assistance of the reigning king, Baldwin IV, who is suffering from leprosy at the time. She'll have to take control of the situation. It is up to Kate's bravery and intelligence to find a way to persuade Baldwin IV to help her, and she has few options other than joining his royal court. Will the king accept her, or will she perish as the body's original owner? Will she be able to change her destiny? Alternatively, will she be able to find the love and family she seeks?
