In Magician's Embrace [BOOK 1 of Price Family Saga]
Eliza Price, daughter of the Duke of Hertfordshire, finds herself entangled in a web of suitors, rejecting one potential partner after another. A marriage with the esteemed Duke of Kent appears to be her path forward, until an enigmatic figure, Mr. Magician, captivates her heart. Not only does he possess an irresistible charm, but he stands as the sole gentleman in all of London who dares to resist her allure. Meanwhile, the Marquess St. Arcey, perceiving Eliza as the embodiment of a femme fatale, cannot bear the thought of her belonging to another. His ardent pursuit of her heart and hand further complicates matters. To exacerbate the predicament, the fate of Eliza's family fortune hangs precariously in the balance. The crucial documents that substantiate their ancestral estates and noble title are hidden within a chest, found by the royal historian. Tragically, the historian meets an untimely demise, and the chest mysteriously vanishes, leaving all clueless about its whereabouts. The historian's demise summons the long-standing rivals of the Price family - the Grays - who descend upon London with their agenda. Amongst them is the haughty Lord Daniel Gray, driven by a deep-seated desire for retribution stemming from an ancient transgression that saw his family's property pass into the hands of the Prices. His presence in Eliza's life becomes an omen of unfortunate events, marked by searing insults unleashed each time their paths cross. Will Eliza navigate this maelstrom of emotions and choices to find her ultimate happiness? And who shall claim the chest concealing the Price family's fortunes? The answers lie within the endless dance of fate, as Eliza's journey unfolds against the backdrop of Georgian society, where love, rivalry, and the pursuit of ancestral legacies intertwine in unexpected ways.

A Gentle Kind of Love
They say a lady's worth is measured by the curve of her smile and the silence of her thoughts. But Lady Elowen Everleigh has never fit inside the cage of a well-bred debutante. The fifth child of the powerful Duke of Ainsworth, Elowen is polished to perfection, laced into gowns she didn't choose, and paraded like a prize through London's glittering ballrooms. But beneath the silk and civility lies a mind too sharp for flattery and a heart that refuses to settle for anything less than love. When the enigmatic Marquess of Ravenshade, Lucien Blackmoor, offers nothing but a gaze across a crowded ballroom-and a letter unsigned by anything but truth-Elowen's world begins to tilt. He's everything she's been warned against: too principled, too noble, and far too dangerous for a girl with brothers like hers. He doesn't play by society's rules. And she no longer wants to. As courtships bloom and alliances tighten, Elowen must choose: obey the life laid before her... or write a new one with ink, will, and scandal. In a world of arranged vows and masked intentions, can a love so gentle ever survive the storm?
