"The Riley twins were born in the spring of 1797 during a ferocious storm that battered the Salisbury Plain for three days together. Isabel entered the world with a flash of lightning, her shrieking drowned out by a grand clap of thunder. Thirteen minutes later the storm abated, clouds parted, and Miranda was handed to her father, blinking in rays of sun that poured through the window." Isabel loves the comfort of home and the company of her family and few close friends. She doesn't care for the drama of the season or dream of gothic adventures as her sister does. She is wild and carefree in her own right, mischievous if need be, and the fun she has with her sister and closest friend is enough to satisfy her fancies. If only life took pleasure in forcing adventure on those who wished for it, instead of those who did not. Miranda is a playful romantic, she looks forward to her first season with a desperation which rivals that of a starving man on his way to a feast. She can't wait to dress in beautiful gowns and dance the nights away with the height of the Ton. More than anything, she dreams of finding her prince charming and falling in love; but love is a game, and some play it far too well. What readers are saying: "What a wonderful read!!

"I will kill us both, just to make sure that no one else can touch you if I couldn't. Do you hear me, Elysanthe? This world will not fucking have you with anyone else but me, I will raze it all if it tries to. I will have every throat choke up blood, and I will make the ground beneath those feet of yours cave in." ༄ 𝘼 𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙡 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚. The year is 1290. Princess Elysanthe Starcrest, the fierce and beautiful sister of Prince Phillip, stands on the precipice of her brother's wedding to Princess Aurora, a union meant to bring peace between kingdoms. But beneath the glittering celebration, a terrible fire has consumed one of Starcrest's cities, leaving hundreds dead and hearts shattered. As whispers of a similar attack rise from a rival kingdom, Elysanthe's world, as well as her already shattered heart, begins to unravel. Caught between duty and desire, hope and heart's torture, Elys must uncover the truth behind the fires that threaten to consume both kingdoms, even if it means coming face to face with the crown prince of that rival kingdom-the thirty years old Prince Varric Desai-who once broke her like glass. With an ancient power awakening from the shadows and old rivalries fracturing under a new threat, the fate of Starcrest-and all she holds dear-hangs in a delicate balance.

"I think I'm madly, passionately, entirely, and ardently in love with you, my love," Lady Veroniqué breathed, her lips brushing against the thick sewn flesh ones of the monster's. Her palm hovered lightly above his muscled chest, and she felt heat radiate off of him in waves, engulfing her form completely. His hand, mighty and thick, brushed against her back, shaking and careful, desperately wanting to touch her. He grunted low, and her breath hitched, her eyes half closed. ༄ 𝘼 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙢𝙖𝙣-𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧. The year is 1860, In the glittering, fractured realm of Wonderland's White Palace, where whimsy hides razor-sharp secrets, Veroniqué serves The White Queen, a twenty-five-year courtesan of frost and fire, caught between two worlds and burdened with tasks that have her slipping between Wonderland and the the human world. Sent into the gaslit labyrinth of Victorian London, on a task she's unsure of, Veroniqué stumbles across a horror in a lab underneath a nobleman's house. Stitched from flesh and nightmare, a creature born of forbidden science and arcane sorcery, a colossus trapped between life and death. Entranced, and curious, she frees the man-made monster and brings him to Wonderland-an unsettling giant of silence and shadow. With her gleaming white hair and whispered grace, finds herself inexplicably drawn into the mighty beast's cold orbit, falling fiercely into a love as unnatural and volatile as the world they inhabit. As Wonderland's delicate balance threatens to shatter under the weight of old betrayals and new dangers, Veronique must navigate the impossible-teaching the unteachable, loving the unlovable, and facing a darkness that twists even the brightest dream into a waking nightmare. Here, in a world where madness waltzes with reason, and love may be the deadliest enchantment of all, the line between salvation and ruin is as thin as a knife's blad
