After five years at Madame Fairchild's orphanage, nineteen-year-old Agnes has learned to survive through fierce determination and sharp wit. When a wealthy stranger appears claiming to be her uncle, she's suddenly whisked away to his grand estate where her mysterious aunt has supposedly been searching for her all this time.
But as Agnes enters this new world of privilege and power, she discovers that her newfound family has ulterior motives. Her uncle intends to use her as a pawn in aristocratic society, arranging a marriage that will benefit the Blackwood name while caring nothing for her happiness.
With each passing day, Agnes uncovers fragments of her true heritage-secrets deliberately kept from her that could change everything. As the walls close in around her, she must decide whether to submit to the fate others have planned or forge her own path to freedom.
The lost heiress has been found. But at what cost?
Perfect for fans of gothic mysteries, found family, and fierce heroines who refuse to be silenced.

Love, By Any Other Name
Amid the glittering courts and whispered intrigues of late-nineteenth-century Estoria, the Season begins - a spectacle of elegance, envy, and quiet war. Lady Isadora Ravenshade, orphaned daughter of a disgraced duke, enters society under the wary guardianship of her aunt, Duchess Beatrice of Ravensleigh. What begins as obligation soon becomes transformation, as Isadora's grace - unstudied, unpolished, and disarmingly sincere - unsettles those who rely upon artifice to survive. Two princes will come to notice her: Lucien de Montclair, the charming Lysandrian diplomat whose words are as smooth as his smile, and Prince Sebastian Valemont, heir to Estoria's throne - reserved, observant, and drawn to quiet strength. Between them lies more than affection; there are treaties, rivalries, and a court that never forgives those who misstep beneath its chandeliers. In a world where every glance can wound and every dance conceals intent, Isadora must learn that survival at court is not granted by beauty or birth - but by understanding the game itself. Intrigue is its own kind of love story. And love, in the wrong hands, is the most dangerous intrigue of all.
