Saving Grace
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault.

The Betrothal of Shiz University
From the legendary legacy of the Wizard of Oz comes a new heroine: Isabella "Bella" Diggs, the middle daughter of Oz's most powerful family. Betrothed to Fiyero Tigelaar since the age of five, Isabella has never truly met the boy who is promised to her-until the day she arrives at Shiz University, the premier academy for magic, innovation, and political intrigue. Shiz is alive with whispers of rivalries, secret societies, and hidden powers, and Isabella quickly learns that her reputation as the Wizard's daughter precedes her. Beside her stand loyal friends-Boq Woodsman, steadfast and clever; Glinda Upland, radiant and bold; and Elphaba, fierce, misunderstood, and unflinching in the face of danger. Together, they navigate a world where every lesson could hide a secret, and every social gathering could mask a trap. As Isabella learns to wield her own magical gifts, she discovers that her betrothal is far from simple: forces in Shiz and beyond are scheming to manipulate her family's legacy for their own gain. Ancient enchantments, forbidden spells, and whispers of a dark uprising threaten to reshape the balance of power in Oz. And with Fiyero finally at her side, Isabella must decide if she will follow duty, her heart, or forge her own destiny. In a school where deception and magic intertwine, Isabella will confront friendships, rivalries, and the first stirring of romance-and learn that even the brightest legacy can cast a shadow. In a world of secrets, betrothals, and enchantments, the future of Oz may rest in the hands of one determined young woman.Complete
