In the grand tapestry of Regency England, where societal expectations and whispered rumours reign supreme, a most unconventional union is forged. Sophie Fulham's life has been a canvas of suffering since her parents' untimely deaths, leaving her at the mercy of her heartless uncle and his unrelenting cruelty. Enter Peter, Viscount Markham, a man burdened by his own reputation as a carefree rake, uninterested in the bonds of matrimony. Their worlds collide with the force of destiny when Peter's father, The Earl of Ashington, gambles their family's future away to Sophie's malevolent guardian. Forced into a marriage neither desires, Sophie and Peter must unravel the truths hidden beneath the veil of society's judgmental gaze. As they navigate their misconceptions and misgivings, they discover a shared resilience and strength, slowly kindling an unexpected affection. Sophie learns that Peter's jovial exterior conceals a heart of gold, and Peter sees beyond Sophie's timid facade to the fierce spirit within. But as their affection deepens, a dangerous secret threatens to unravel their fragile connection. Society's watchful eyes and whispered lies could shatter not only their budding love but also their families' esteemed positions. In a world where reputation is paramount, Sophie and Peter must decide whether to succumb to the dictates of society or follow the unwavering call of their hearts. "My Honourable Viscount" is a tale of unexpected love that defies societal norms, a testament to the resilience of two souls bound by duty but driven by a longing for true connection. Will their love be strong enough to withstand the storms of scandal and save their families from ruin?

❃ AWARD-WINNING PUBLISHED NOVEL ❃ BOOK I OF THE TRANSCENDENCE SERIES ❃ Growing up during the centuries-long conflict between the empires of Egypt and Hatti, the young princess Istara is taken hostage by the King of Hatti to secure the loyalty of her father, the King of Kadesh to the empire. Soon her new life in Hatti's glittering capital becomes all she knows. Bound in blood before the gods to Hatti's unwilling crown prince, Istara, now Hatti's queen-in-waiting, learns she will never be loved. But the drums of war beat again, and when the scheming plans of Hatti's king threaten the existence of all civilization, the gods give Istara a choice: to leave behind everything she knows to save mankind, or remain where she is, powerless, a token on the game board of kings. On the brink of one of the most brutal battles in history, she chooses to risk her life to deliver a message to the only man able to prevent the prophecy from becoming a reality--her mortal enemy, the Pharaoh Ramesses II. Wounded, cold and hungry, she wanders in the battle's horrific aftermath, and aids a powerful commander, who she learns protected her once, and has been bound to her ever since by a prophetic dream of his future. Despite his resistance, and Istara once more becoming a pawn of kings, they must confront an eternal love so powerful, not even kings, the gods, or death can keep them apart.

♥ Astrid ♥ Gunshots. Karate moves. Flipping through languages so fast that my brain struggled to catch up. These had been as familiar to me in the six years I had been in training as a school bell or sound of a teacher's voice might be to anyone else. At sixteen, I had seen more death than I cared to talk about. But what could I say? That was what life as a teenage spy was. And as part of America's little-known espionage agency Delta, that was what I had become accustomed to. But I couldn't have known that things were about to change. A new assignment came up, and though I was with people I had known for years, this one would change things so that my life would never be the same. A drug dealer, working undercover in France. People from my past, popping up in the most unexpected places. And the boy with the blue eyes, who could be completely for me or utterly against me; often, I didn't know which. This was one assignment that would stay with me forever. But, of course, I didn't know that as I headed in...to pure Hell. Welcome to Delta. Now that you're here, good luck getting out.
