(Formerly The Black Knight 2012 Watty Finalist) Sir William Horton is Ashfern's resident Hero. He was the richest man in five counties and a well-known bastard. Rumors of every kind have been whispered about the infamous Black Knight, his all-encompassing cruelty, his frozen heart, and the twisted means by which he finds his pleasure. Every person in Ashfern knows to keep a wagging tongue still and eyes trained anywhere but on him should he come into view. So when Nan Harris finds him on the beach and is neither distant, silent, nor fearful, he cannot help but wonder. How a simple beggar girl can treat him as though he is just another man? Who is this woman that can hold his attention with just a few words, or more importantly, who was she before coming to Ashfern?

Anabell Belgrey, Countess of Clearshire, has spent most of her life being the unwanted burden of those closest to her. Unloved by her family and unwanted by her husband. The only reprieve she has ever found in her solitude is that she may do as she pleases with little to no notice from those same people. Until, one day, she is noticed by the very last man she had ever thought to hear from again: her husband. After twelve years with no word and no explanation for his absence, or any reassurance of his return. Lady Belgrey cannot fathom what has prompted his sudden resurfacing. But she is determined not to let the man sway her into whatever scheme has brought him back. There has never been any affection in their marriage, and she has worked too hard to let him run rampant over all she has accomplished. No, she must prove to the Earl that his presence is not only unnecessary at Blackstone but highly unwanted.

The words graceful, proper, ladylike and elegant could never be used to describe Perrie Beresford, the eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Ashwood. Perrie has always had a little too much fire in her to ever be classified as a beautiful young debutante, which is what she will inevitably become in her first Season. But romance, courting, and marriage are the last things on Perrie's mind. Especially when her nemesis, who was once an annoying classmate, suddenly appears in her home as her father's protégé. As Perrie is pushed towards the life of an adult by those around her, she can't help but be pulled into a game of wars within the walls of her very home. But Perrie is about to learn that the line between love and hate are very fine ... and perhaps might not even exist at all.

Lord Marshall Sutherland wanted a wife. He had also known exactly who he wanted as his wife for precisely a year. Unfortunately, Miss I.P. Bright was a pseudonym and locating the woman of his dreams had taken a considerable amount of time, effort and money on his part. He had spent the better part of his time last year at the blasted London Season only to discover that it was apparent Miss I.P. Bright - whoever she was- did not run in the same circles as him. It had been an irksome and trying experience because now every débutante and her mama thought that he sought a wife, any wife. But that wasn't the case. He was hunting for a particular woman and no other woman would do. Marshall was a man of definable tastes and once he knew what he wanted, he generally got it. Miss Imogen Brightmore did not want a husband, especially one the likes of Lord Marshall Sutherland, who boorishly and chauvinistically opposed her anonymously published articles. So when a handsome, intelligent and agreeable country gentleman comes to town, Imogen finds herself surprisingly attracted to him and little does she suspect that he harbors a secret that could ruin their blossoming courtship.

This novel is an adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. Blind since birth, Elle Duncan has only ever known darkness, but lack of sight has never hindered her ability to perceive the beauty of the world. Her kind and gentle soul is put to the test when her father sustains an injury that threatens their livelihood, and in desperation, he turns to the most unlikely of saviors-the Rossetti Beast. Don Rossetti is bound for an unchanging fate. He is bad-tempered, with an equally dark and scarred countenance to match. With a heart forged of ice and a soul confined to darkness, he has surrendered to a forlorn existence. But when a peasant man arrives from the village begging for a favor, he is compelled to aid the farmer in exchange for a price-a price that Elle will be forced to pay.
