In 1946, war-weary Rose Grantham leaves the grim, ravaged streets of London on a whim, hoping to rediscover who she is and where she came from. 

Mousehole is a pretty little village in Cornwall with a turbulent past and undercurrent of betrayal, grief and destruction beyond the sparkling blue of the sea and the whitewashed cottages. For Rose, it offers the promise of anonymity, rest and renewal.

Or, so she thought.

As she investigates deeper into the mysteries of the past, and experiences her first taste of love, she finds that her quiet journey of self-discovery may be much more than she had once anticipated.

Mrs. Addilyn's Anxious Hearts Society- For a mere two shillings per annum, a selection of human and supernatural species are at your fingertips for perusal- simply choose your desired partner and we'll do the rest! Fine print: all participating clientele need be of sentient capabilities and payment made upfront. Millie Adams was angry with her lot in life- everything had been taken away from her, leaving her in the hands of a relative who endured her simply to have access to her wealth and inheritance. When her cousin realises that Millie is no meek lady willing to do his bidding, he decides to utilize any means necessary to silence his niece, including magic. Knowing that she had to take matters into her own hands, and fast, an advertisement in the societal papers provides Millie with one last avenue of hope: Mrs. Addilyn's Anxious Hearts Society Matchmaking Service. Blayne Leowyn's human name was James Woode according to the documentation this world had provided him, though he was anything but. He lived a solitary existence in the forests skirting around the capital city. The beasts and creatures that dwelled in the area were under his care, tempered and appeased by his tenuous administrations to prevent discord between human and fae. He has little interest in the human way, though when his path crosses with a human woman thanks to Mrs. Addilyn's interfering services, he could not ignore the allure he felt kindling within him. But his unwitting match, Miss Adams, became furious and aloof, and his need for companionship would surely lack considering the woman was mute. However, he could not deny there was something about her... This is a historical fantasy romance novel, heavy focus on the romance.

Abandoned on the shores of Serbia by her first love at the tender age of seventeen, Enid finds peace in a fortress caring for rescued animals. Years later when he returns, Enid must decide if it's love she seeks, or revenge. Enid is desperate to leave the memories of her murderous mother on the docks of Plymouth, England as she boards a ship bound for India. Clamoured between strangers and the memories of her painful past, love is the last things she expects to find. Enid is drawn to the Captain's son Nikola, much to the dismay and anger of Senka, a deckhand's daughter who has her sights set on him as well. Enid's happiness is short-lived when a strange disease wipes out half the crew and the superstitious captain blames her. Nikola vows his loyalty to Enid and they run off together, but when he abandons her on the shores of Serbia to fulfil a forgotten promise to Senka, Enid knows hope is a liar. As she waits in vain for Nikola to return, she forges a life for herself. At twenty-three, Enid is now living in an abandoned fortress in Belgrade with the village 'witch', caring for abused animals. Just when she thought she was finally at peace, Nikola and Senka return. But with Senka firmly at Nikola's side, Enid must decide if she's willing to ruin Senka to gain the love she's been waiting a decade for or lose him forever.
