"I wish she would just disappear." When Keith says those words, he has no idea how close he is to getting his wish. For years, Ella has loved Keith from afar. A fated contract marriage is her one chance at a happily ever after, and she'll do anything to be seen by the man she adores. But her devotion isn't enough to break through his guarded heart. Shattered, Ella rebuilds her life from the ashes, determined to never need another man again. But years later, Keith storms back into her life, ready to avenge a past he doesn't understand. He's already lost her once. Will he make the same mistake twice and lose his only chance at true love forever? A slow-burn, second-chance romance where a billionaire CEO must earn back the wife he so carelessly threw away.

Disabled by a dog attack in her childhood, Beatrice Lockwood knows what it is like to become friends with loneliness. After years of hard work to cement herself into the small Yorkshire community of Impling, she has managed to create a meaningful, simple life with people who actually care about her. So when James Bancroft, an outsider, makes his disdain for her clear in front of everyone in town, she knows that keeping her distance is the only option. She cannot afford to lose the crucial support she has garnered. The only problem is that the damned man can't seem to stay away from her now. James Bancroft - stoic, chaste, and looking for nothing but peace - is not trying to make friends in Impling. Still, he had not intended to make enemies, either. After badmouthing a beloved pillar of the community at a dance, he knows he must make amends, and quickly. But the more he tries to make things right with the morbid Miss Lockwood, the more she pulls away. As his passion toward her grows, he finds himself unable to cope with his newfound feelings. After all, he knows quite well what it looks like when a man does not control himself. Vibes: Foggy moors, folklore, small rural community Tropes: *Overheard *Grovel *Cynical hero Trigger Warnings: Scenes of domestic violence, scenes of dog attacks, scenes of animal slaughtering/death *Though this book is set in the same universe as the Gentleman's Proposal series, it is largely unrelated to the other books. Therefore, I have chosen to list it as a standalone.*

I'm the crew's problem solver-the one they send on the hardest jobs. To them, I'm fearless, strong, unshakable. But the truth? I'm a coward, hiding secrets I pray no one ever uncovers. Everyone knows I'm terrified of the Zohra, the horned aliens that send chills down my spine. Yet, in a reckless moment, I agree to stay with the crew-near them. But my personal fears don't matter when a bigger threat emerges, one that could destroy everything. The mission takes us to my hometown, to a hidden lab filled with memories I swore I'd never face. And worse? I'm stuck infiltrating it with Harwal-a Zohra who reminds me of the monster that's haunted me for years. Surviving the mission is one thing. Surviving him-and the way he makes me feel-is another.

Evangeline has never known anything but slavery. Being forced to work for a cruel pack at a young age, all she cares about is completing her chores, scrounging up enough food to eat, and making it through the day without getting beaten for misbehaving.

Little by little, secrets are revealed and Evangeline starts to learn that she isn't who she thought she was. No, she has a past that no one knew about, one that contains promises and hardship, and even a secret that makes her more powerful than anyone could ever have expected. ---- The spinoff book to Beautiful Belle and Alpha Grayson, the story of King Elijah and Queen Evangeline, and the making of the prophecy that changes everything. Can be read as a standalone.
