Adelaide 'Ada' Woodhouse is home.

Six months after the chaos in Nottingham, Adelaide has become somewhat of a celebrity - or at least Ada Carne has. While requests for investigations are put forward, Adelaide is focused on three things; her art, her studies and her family.

And maybe also a certain Earl.

When the Woodhouses travel to Paris for a much-deserved vacation, Adelaide's hopes of exploring the vibrant and culturally rich city are thwarted when she inadvertently finds herself involved and invested in an anarchist group that is targeting the Bourgeoise.

Not only does she get on the wrong side of the Commissioner of the Parisian police, but she catches the eye of a charming Frenchman who thrusts her deeper into the investigation while reuniting with Louis Hatton, meeting his delightful cousin, befriending an Irishman and making enemies of a few young French women, one with eyes on her Earl. To make matters worse, her brother, the great Dr Theodore Woodhouse is, surprisingly, causing all sorts of his antics across the capital, putting the Woodhouse's name and reputation into jeopardy once again.

As the anarchist group begins to gain traction, Adelaide finds that no matter how hard she tries to get away from the detective life, maybe it was her calling all along and putting her life on the line to protect others was what she was always meant to do.

"You've just been staring at me all day. Are you good?" Lila Moloney's insatiable curiosity had landed on Asher Wagner, the long-running Dux of her cohort at the prestigious Forestglade College. No longer the prim and proper poster child for their school's strict regimes upon returning from summer holidays, Lila couldn't shake the feeling that there was something disturbing lurking beneath this change. Perhaps it was the way that he spoke to her, upon being paired for an English project, or the way that his askew tie and tousled hair was so jarringly mismatched from the usual tendencies that he'd had over the past nine years. Year after year, he put in the most amount of effort out of anyone in their cohort in all facets of the College's metrics of pride - attendance, intelligence, sporting prowess, rule-following, and uniform-wearing - but now, when faced with their last two years at school, he looked to be giving up. Lila was dead-certain that he was hiding something, her voracious appetite for answers being practically genetic. But, as she starts to dig for answers, she discovers that everyone surrounding them has secrets they're trying to hide, practically begging to be revealed - including her emerging feelings for Asher. Will she uncover the truth underpinning his transformation? Or will it remain elusive, obscured by the concealed desires, goals and identities of those around her - including her own family? And just how is she meant to survive the trials and tribulations of high school life whilst pursuing the verity of the mysteries shrouding everything she thought she knew? And remember - trust no one, not even the missing. *Set in Australia | Mystery and romance are main themes | Note - swearing present, though not excessive | Posting Mondays & Fridays | CWs: Stalking, bullying, sexual harassment, vague references to suicide, violent murder of a person under 18 [note - fair way into the story and not glorified]*

Laurent is everything Larry's husband is not, and on the night they meet, he and Laurent connect in a way neither saw coming, shaking them both to their core.

Eighteen-year-old courtier Gabriel de la Marche is part of both worlds. When Gabriel was fourteen, his older sister went missing, and desperation for answers led him to strike a deal with an underground organization of assassins-they would use their connections to help Gabriel find his sister, if Gabriel agreed to kill members of nobility under the alias L'Ange de la Mort. Four years later, he still hasn't found his sister, and the repercussions of his decision are catching up with him. But he fears it might be too late to turn back now.
