After Eteocles,  the son of Oedipus, ascended to the throne of the city-state of Thebes, his younger brother,  Polynices, decided that his brother must die before he could take the throne from him. Knowing his long heritage of family failures, Eteocles prepared himself for whatever was to come by sending a spy on his younger brother, now living in Argos under the protection of their king, Adrastus. Will the young king survive? Will the kingdom of Thebes remain the home of their most beloved founder, Cadmus? Or will Thebes fall to one of the stronger city-states such as Corinth, Sparta, or Athens? Could two hundred years of history now be altered by the possible coming storm? The two brothers, now many miles apart, could almost assuredly meet in mortal combat. Who will win?

Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong? *** It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed. Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out? Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
