Scoundrel Stories

She had not married him expecting fidelity. That would come later - the marriage, the man, the particular education of discovering that your most precise calculations cannot account for the variable of your own heart. That would come later, and it would cost her considerably more than she had budgeted. On the night she arrived in Jinling, Shen Yao knew only this: she had eight silver coins, a jade pin, and a plan that she fully intended to keep. She kept most of it. The parts she did not keep are the story. This is the story of a woman who knew precisely what she wanted - and what wanting cost her. Set in the final years of the Yong Dynasty, The Wife He Could Not Tame is a historical romance of arranged marriages and political intrigue, of what women build when the law gives them nothing to build with, of two people who resist each other across years until resistance becomes its own kind of devotion.

Horror

In the lawless void left by the Empire's fall, one rule keeps Dex Varn and his misfit crew alive: cargo first, questions later. Aging smuggler Dex Varn isn't interested in rebellions, prophecies, or galactic legacies-he just wants to keep his rustbucket freighter flying and his crew paid. But in a galaxy where every crate has a story and every job comes with strings, even the simplest delivery spirals into chaos. Whether it's outsmarting ex-Imperial warlords, dodging Force-worshipping cults, or smuggling spice through a black hole, Dex and his all-male crew of lovable scoundrels stay one jump ahead of disaster-and one drink behind retirement. If you're craving a Star Wars adventure that's more whiskey-soaked outlaw than lightsaber legend, climb aboard The Crumb Runner. No galaxy-saving heroes here-just cargo, credits, and one hell of a ride.

The Duke of Harden was handsome, clever and the most famous rake in London, with a large fortune inherited from his father, he seemed to have everything in the world except his mother's blessing. His mother, the youngest Duchess of Yorkshire, forced him to find a proper, rich and loyal husband for her youngest sister. His sister was the youngest of the Harden family; she had a fair face, quick wit, good humor, and enough social influence to find herself a proper husband. At least that was Duke Harden's idea of his sister. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before he realized he was wrong. ** 'Who is she?' The lady who had the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen which were matching with her emerald green gown, who was she? Was she an angel? How could it possible that no one ever mentioned Henry about a lady like her before? How could it possible that... 'Don't even think about it, Henry, my dear friend.' He got annoyed, and asked: 'Think about what?' 'She has no heart if you ask me, or mercy. She smiles at you, she dances with you, she chatted with you as you are the most important man alive... She lets you a think that you're the most important man alive... She has everything a woman need to have; she is funny, beautiful, quick witted, but...' 'But what?' 'Believe me, Henry, she could have been married five times by now if she wanted to! She's never taken a man's hand, not even considered it, if you ask me. Some say she had a fiancé some years ago who died tragically in the war; others say she is a witch, or a bloody siren who enjoys breaking young men's hearts!' 'So she is the lady everyone is talking about...' 'Yes, she's THE lady, Lady Isabel Kingsley - or as she's known, Belle.'

The revenge upon her would be sweet, even though it was purely theoretical. She was the very epitome of every upper class privileged prig of a young girl who ever has passed a vile judgment on those she snobbishly refused to view as an equal. And I?

The notorious Fox and his (dashing) band of thieves and scoundrels, known for their wit, speed, and ability to disappear without a trace, have worked hard in the last few years to carve out a name and a refuge for themselves in the war-torn chaos of the Midlands. But with thinning resources and ruthless Captain of the Guard Uldien's personal vendetta, not only against Fox but seemingly all of the Midlands, the last thing Fox needs is a distraction. Gaelian, the opposite of a thief and a scoundrel (and just about everything else in the Midlands for that matter), is a distraction. A determined distraction. One who holds both the key to Fox's past and the burden of a dark secret that affects herself, Fox, and the fate of the entire Two Kingdoms. But will she be able to convince Fox to care? *ehem* (Meaning about the secret...of course. *winkwink*) Danger, adventure, clever banter, heroics, true love, a curse, and a happily ever after.
