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.

But fate doesn't care what's meant to be. As secrets unravel and shadows close in Isabella finds herself at the center of a war built on blood, betrayal, and broken vows. Her heart is split. Her soul is hunted. And the men who claim to protect her? They might just be the ones who ruin her. In a world where loyalty is lethal and love is the most dangerous weapon of all, Isabella must choose: Run from the darkness-or surrender to it. Cover by @lasophie79Completa
His Mortal Obsession

But when Alara's presence unsettles the order of his world, he is drawn to an attraction both dangerous and forbidden. She should be invisible. He should be indifferent. But when blood is spilled, desires awaken. And in a house where passion is as lethal as the monsters who dwell within, surrendering to temptation may cost them both everything. He is the predator. She is the prey. And yet... neither can resist the hunger.Completa

Anna, a young woman scarred by cruelty and stripped of freedom, finds herself rescued from the brink of death by Harry Walker-a wealthy doctor bound by family expectations and society's ruthless rules. What begins as an act of compassion turns into something neither of them can deny: a fragile bond that grows into forbidden love. But their world is not forgiving. Whispers travel faster than secrets, and both Anna and Harry must risk everything-his family's power, her fragile safety, and the wrath of men who see her as nothing more than property. As Harry battles against the legacy of his father and the weight of his own choices, Anna must decide whether to trust the man who offers her freedom-or protect her heart before it's shattered again. Passionate, heartbreaking, and defiantly romantic, I'll Fight for You is a sweeping tale of courage, betrayal, and a love strong enough to challenge a world built to destroy it.Completa
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.
