Once an award-winning chef with a flourishing food empire, Elena Valdez never imagined her life would end in tragedy-or begin again in another world. Reborn as Alaina, the Duchess of Aisenburg, Elena awakens in La Vita, a realm of magic, monsters, and rigid noble traditions. Trapped in an unfamiliar body and bound to a distant, intimidating duke through marriage, Alaina must learn to survive court life where whispers cut deeper than blades and trust is a luxury few can afford. With no allies and little warmth in her new home, Alaina turns to the one thing she knows best: cooking. Infusing her dishes with care, memory, and quiet passion, she begins to soften hostile servants, disarm rival noblewomen, and slowly bring life back into the cold halls of Aisenburg estate. As shared meals replace formal silence and the scent of warm bread and simmering sauces fills the mansion, an unexpected intimacy grows between Alaina and her husband. Each dish becomes a confession, each bite a promise-pulling them closer despite secrets, danger, and unspoken desire. [ WARNING! There will be a few chapters with graphic sex scenes.

A survivor known only as Bell is betrayed, and fights his way across post-apocalyptic England to take his revenge, fighting not only rivals and bandits, but his own demons.

In the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty, where the imperial harem is both a gilded cage and a battlefield, Lady Shen, once the Empress of Great Tang, meets a pitiful end. Cast aside by the Emperor's indifference and undone by the cruel schemes of rivals, she is falsely accused of treachery, stripped of her phoenix robes, and abandoned in the desolate Cold Palace, where she withers away in obscurity. Betrayed by her so-called sisters of the harem and discarded by the very man she once loved, she dies with hatred and regret in her heart. But Heaven grants her a second chance. Lady Shen awakens on the day of her first entry into the palace-no longer Empress, but a lowly Cairen (才人, Fifth Rank), at the very bottom of the imperial hierarchy. Armed with the bitter lessons of her past life, she vows never again to be the helpless pawn of others. This time, she will carve her own path-securing the Emperor's heart, winning the Dowager Empress's approval, and dismantling her enemies piece by piece. From a humble Cairen, she rises with cunning and grace, advancing step by step through the perilous ranks: Her enemies, once smug in their power, fall into ruin under her subtle vengeance: the favored Consort who slandered her, the scheming Empress who engineered her downfall, and even the treacherous eunuchs and ministers who conspired against her. Yet amidst her careful web of revenge, she finds herself slowly earning the Emperor's true affection-not through blind devotion, but through mutual respect, wit, and the passion that once eluded them. Balancing love and survival, revenge and compassion, she transforms from an abandoned flower into the most powerful woman of the dynasty. As Empress Dowager, seated behind the curtain of state, she holds sway over court and harem alike-her enemies buried in history, her name etched in glory. This is a tale of rebirth and retribution, where every smile hides a blade and every step within the golden halls could mean triumph or death.

READERS' FAVORITE FIVE STAR AWARD WINNER - As the daughter of a strong English baron, Isabel is compelled by peace negotiations to become the child-bride of the enemy, the powerful, handsome and fierce Scottish Laird of the Chattan clan, Alysandir. Her youth and his distaste for a marriage alliance with his enemy render her strenuous efforts to win the approval of her husband almost futile. Even though she failed him in a hopelessly complex situation, why would he allow his former fiancé to get away at an attempt to kill her? When her dying father calls her home to England, she is forced to be braver than her years as her exiled, murderous half-brother, Gilbert, attempts to wrest control of Bamborough Castle, their family home, from her father, who was determined to never allow Gilbert the inheritance. Could Alysandir, her wizened warrior husband soften her battle-hardened heart, protect her from her treacherous half-brother and win back her love? Growing up amid the border wars taught Isabel to be strong, cautious and adaptable. Fighting in those wars made Alysandir inflexible, distrustful but patient and brave. Could he secure his lands and keep his new bride safe from those who wished to harm her, or even protect her from herself? After breaking her, could he gather her back to himself and teach her to trust him before her half-brother and brother-in-law kill her over a piece of borderland?
