Lady Aria Alford, daughter of the Duke of Wellington has always dreamed of finding love. However, her occasional clumsiness and unspoken demeanor cause her to be a less than desirable woman of society as she is often reminded. Her love of reading and adventurous spirit may lead her down a path she did not expect and allow her to meet someone with the potential to make her dream a reality.
Lord Nicholas Sterling, aspiring physician and son of the Earl of Suffolk dreams of starting his own practice after returning back home from studying and travelling abroad. Hardships paint the way for Nicholas as well as unexpected blessings in accomplishing his goal. Something he was not prepared for was meeting a beautiful woman with sparkling blue eyes who would take him on a journey he could not have conjured on his own.
Unforeseen circumstances, mystery, murder? Much awaits Aria and Nicholas as their paths cross. Both looking to accomplish their dreams, but just what will it take to reach them?

Ratcliff
Autumn, 1552. England is, uneasily, at peace. King Edward VI, now fifteen and mature beyond his years, is already beginning to play an active part in politics. His sister, the Lady Elizabeth, now nineteen, is a prominent figure at court. Edward's heir, however, is his elder sister Mary. Having refused to renounce her Catholicism in Edward's increasingly strident Protestant England, she lives in Essex, an unseen but worrying presence. Matthew Shardlake has returned to practising law, including matters involving the properties of Elizabeth. A shadow hangs over him, however; he has fallen deeply in love with Liz Partlett, nurse to his adopted daughter Mousy--a love that is reciprocated, although Liz, haunted by grim events, feels she can never marry him. As colonization and the slave trade dominate world affairs, a group of English merchants, desperate to find new trading opportunities, sets up a Company of Merchant Adventurers to seek a north-east passage to the Far East. The destination of the projected voyage is kept strictly secret lest Spanish spies should learn of it. After the secretary of the Company suddenly dies, Shardlake is recruited to the post as a competent man who can be trusted to keep matters secret. Meanwhile a crumbling house by the Thames suddenly collapses, killing several tenants. Shardlake discovers that responsibility for the disaster devolves on the ultimate owner of the land, the Lady Elizabeth. At the site, Shardlake makes a gruesome discovery in the intact remains of the cellar: a torture chamber, and the hideously disfigured body of a Portuguese man. Shardlake finds himself caught up in a world of spies and double-agents, and discovers that his predecessor as Secretary of the Merchant Adventurers was murdered. He must investigate, and quickly, for the date when the ships must set sail to catch the Arctic spring of 1553 is fast approaching. Rumours begin to circulate that King Edward has fallen sick, and may be dying...Lengkap
Mysteries of the Hounds Shadow
When the mists of Dartmoor thicken and the moon turns blood-red, death stalks the Baskerville estate once more. But this time, the hound that haunts the moor is no mere legend-it is a creature torn from the depths of Hell itself. After the demolition of an ancient forest to expand Baskerville lands, an old crone-known only as the Withered Widow-was cast out from her moss-grown hovel. In her anguish, she summoned a curse older than the stones of London itself. From her dying breath rose the Hounds of Hell, beasts of smoke and ember, bound to hunt the bloodline of those who defiled her sacred woods. Summoned to investigate the mysterious deaths surrounding the Baskerville heir, Sherlock Holmes, the master of cold reason, and Dr. John Watson, the weary soldier with a heart too human for the horrors he encounters, find themselves unraveling a mystery steeped in superstition and sin. In the decaying halls of Baskerville Hall, amidst candlelit corridors and whispers of the damned, logic begins to tremble before the touch of the infernal. The deeper Holmes and Watson delve, the more they must confront not only the evil that prowls the moor-but the darkness that stirs within their own souls. #1 in #ArthurConanDoyleLengkap

Recently ordered home from the Royal Navy to assist his father, a spymaster for the Crown, with the Poisoner case, Alexander is determined to earn his father's respect by catching the criminal through any means necessary.

As Margaret learns about her heritage and Alexander uncovers his father's affiliation with the East Indian Company, they discover that their families are not so innocent after all.

If they don't find it, the Poisoner will escape yet again, but even worse, Margaret will become the next victim.Lengkap
