In the vast, unforgiving universe of BattleTech, where loyalty is fragile and survival uncertain, two unlikely heroes find themselves united against overwhelming odds. Sarah O'Toole, a grizzled MechWarrior with a penchant for reckless bravery, teams up with Nifty Bright Star, an anthropomorphic belter with unique features and an unbreakable spirit. Together, they face pirates, battle-scarred Mechs, and their own pasts in a desperate attempt to defend those who can't protect themselves. Thrown together in the midst of a pirate raid on a mining colony, Sarah and Nifty form an unlikely partnership. Sarah, an experienced mercenary, fights to protect the mining community despite her out-of-service Archer Mech. Nifty, an outsider both for her genetics and her upbringing in a circus, uses her ingenuity and a colorful industrial loader to join the fight. Together, they struggle to fend off the pirate forces, culminating in a bond forged by battle and resilience. "BattleTech: All Shapes and Sizes" is a story of camaraderie, courage, and finding belonging in unexpected places. With the gritty backdrop of a war-torn industrial colony, Sarah and Nifty's journey is one of survival, respect, and an unspoken promise to stand by each other when it matters most.

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

A witty wallflower. A world of secrets. And one Season that will change everything. England, 1807. Sophia (Sophie) Windle is no ordinary debutante. Cynical, sharp-tongued, and determined to avoid the matrimonial trap set by high society-and her determined mother-she's perfectly content to sabotage her own prospects and fade into the background as a well-practiced wallflower.
