As a highborn woman, Marion's used to living a comfortable life, until the day her father's murdered and she inherits his great wealth. Many men show up looking to marry her to claim her riches, but the worst offer by far comes in the form of a violent attack by bloodthirsty fanatics attempting to force Marion to wed their cult leader.
Running for her life, Marion is pursued across the medieval English countryside, where she's captured by the deadly outlaw gang, the Merry Men. Problem is, they're just as dangerous to her as the fanatics, since the Merry Men are no fans of highborn nobility.
But Marion's nothing if not bold - she sets out to convince the Merry Men to spare her life, and offers to use her highborn status to help them pull off the biggest heist of their criminal career. In return, they must help her take her village back from the fanatics. What follows is a fast-paced baptism by fire that forges an intense bond between Marion and the Merry Men, and sets the stage for her new life as an outlaw vigilante destined to become a legend.

Raif looked unconcerned. "Is that so?" he said. Born to the captain of a pirate ship, Isla has spent her whole life at sea. Raised among sailors, her father has trained her to fight, command a crew, and, most importantly, the secrets of the ocean currents. When her father is killed in a storm, she is forced to step into his role as captain. Not only does she have to provide for the men on her ship, but she also inherits her father's outstanding debt to Lord Sutherland: the task of stealing the rare Serpent's Eye emerald. After months of failure to locate the emerald, Isla is forced to take extreme measures: she kidnaps Duke Raif Sayers, who knows of the emerald's location. But Raif proves to be more strong willed and stubborn than Isla expected. Matters become even more complicated when Raif's father offers a large reward for his son's rescue and suddenly every cutthroat is looking for Raif and the pirate who kidnapped him.

The Purpose of Miss Shepley
Striving to secure her future through marriage, an heiress with a dubious pedigree begins to question who she truly is -- and who she wants to be. ***** Edith Shepley looks like a Wyrm. She takes after her father, whoever he was -- she doesn't know, and even if she cared to, it would hardly change things. She is a proper Folk lady, as sure as the sun rises, trained from the cradle to govern as Baroness of Ewert someday. And she knows her duty. A woman, now, at sixteen years old, the time has come for Edith to marry and beget Ewert's next heir. Journeying from country estates to city townhouses, through war-ravaged lands in between, Edith diligently considers suitor after suitor, some sweet, some baffling, some detestable -- and, suddenly, who her father was begins to matter very much. The more she sees of her mother's society, the more Edith questions whether she really is Folk, after all. And the more she's stung by its insults, its injuries and injustices, the more she wonders if she really even wants to be. But what is a proper young lady to do, if not her duty?
