"Deliciously captivating! It's the perfect amount of laughs, love and drama. You won't be able to put this book down!" - Grace K @ HQ. When Agatha becomes the Everard's governess, she's grateful for a way to escape her dark past. That is until her growing feelings for the mysterious Lord of the house begin to present an even greater risk. ***** The Everard's are one of the most esteemed families in Wickhurst. And Benedict, the Lord of Devonshire and the eldest of the clan, is as mysterious and brooding as anyone The Town has ever seen. His face is marked with scars, and no one dares to speak on how he got them. Known to all as 'the beast,' the townsfolk tremble in his wake. But little does he know that he is about to meet his match in Agatha Blair, his sisters' new governess. Agatha is witty, smart and gives him a run for his money when he tries to peel back the layers of who she really is. She truly intrigues him more than any woman he has met but she is a governess and he is a Lord. The Town would shun the union of two people from different stations and any romance between them is surely a recipe for social disaster! But what can they do when the burning hot feelings refuse to relent? And when Benedict uncovers that Agatha is hiding a secret far more dangerous than anything he could have imagined, will love save the day and will Agatha finally tame the beast? *This story is a standalone title in the Everard Family series. [Now a Hachette Audiobook!] [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

A royal kidnapping. A rebellion. A war. Tabitha Dinh never thought she would be caught in the middle of it all. 16-year-old Tabitha lives in a quiet, seaside town at the edge of a kingdom where social-class tension holds fast. She is able to move up from her "poor" little town to the Palace of Caesarea, along with many others like her, thanks to a reform that grants a noble-level education to anyone. However, there are those who aren't too happy with this reform. As time passes, Tabitha realizes that things are not going to get better; in fact, they only get worse when the heir to the throne is kidnapped and held ransom. The hostage takers only have one demand: change everything.

Princess of the Highlands Trilogy Book 1 ~~~ A TIME OF DARKNESS Six years since the Danes invaded Scotland, slaying her finest men. Five since the Highland King married one of the enemy, betraying his countrymen and losing the Lowlanders' support. Three since the king died and the Danes imprisoned the remaining blood heir to the throne. Her crown stolen, her country desolated, Fiona McCurragh now faces the looming threat of execution. The Lowlanders, weary of enemy rule, seek to free their stolen homeland. With the aid of a blind harper, they attempt to rescue their Highland princess when the Danes ride in on Lowlander territory, shattering the fragile peace. The Scots are left with no choice except to launch a war in the face of the coming winter. If they do not attack now, the Scots-and their princess-may not live to see the spring. In the face of despair, Fiona McCurragh finds courage in friendship with two chief's sons.

"No, please," I begged, holding tightly on his leg. He didn't even look at me. His dark intimidating eyes were fixed on a man who was terribly bleeding. He can easily die in any second because of me. Because of mine selfishness and careless. I don't want that. I didn't want any of this. But mostly, I don't want this miserable life full of violence, blood, wars, and deaths. "Kill him." he calmly ordered it as if it's not innocent human life. He is a heartless monster. I screamed when the gun noise was heard. I tried to run to the dying man deeply hoping he is still alive, but I was pulled back into his arms. A man was shot dead. ---------------------------------------- Renato Dominico D'Angelo cold, ruthless killer. Evelyn Zoe Barrett kind, innocent, medical student.
