1913.
As the Russian Empire celebrates three hundred years of Romanov rule, Lady Maeve Fitzgerald travels from Ireland to Russia with her family to forge a partnership between Glenara's renowned hunters and the Imperial Orlov stud at Zalesye.
What begins as a discussion of horses soon becomes something far more personal.
Far from the glittering ceremonies of St. Petersburg, Maeve discovers a family unlike any she has known. Grand Duke Alexander and Grand Duchess Elena have built a life where duty is balanced with laughter, where loyalty is earned, and where their children-from thoughtful Andrei to spirited Natalia and the irrepressible twins-welcome the Fitzgeralds into a world that slowly begins to feel like home.
As Maeve and Andrei's quiet friendship deepens into something neither expected, both families find their lives becoming increasingly intertwined.
But beyond the warmth of Zalesye, Europe is changing. Ancient alliances are shifting, old certainties are beginning to crack, and the future of empires-and the families who serve them-will soon be tested in ways none of them can imagine.
Some bloodlines are inherited.
Others are chosen.
And the strongest families are built by both.

The Secret in East End [Agents of the Crown #1]
A FEATURED STORY IN HISTORICAL FICTION HIGHEST RANKING #7 in HISTORICAL FICTION --- Ellie had been undercover for most of her life. She had been a pickpocket for as far as she can remember, under the guise of Elliot. Any memory before the age of ten was blank in her head, with no recollection of how she had ended up under the charge of a gang of street rats as a child. Her life was meant to be mundane, as long as she remained under her secret identity. Until she tried to steal from the wrong pockets that is. --- Fabian Rothesay, the new Duke of Avondale, had spent the last 2 years rebuilding the coffers of his father, in order to ensure that the Avondale estate was not about to crumble around their feet. Taking over his father's spot as the Duke had not been an easy task, but in his doing so for the past 2 years, he has raised as one of the most eligible bachelors of the ton. What the ton doesn't know is that Fabian is biting to return to his previous life. What people believed to be a holiday around the continent, was actually Fabian's cover as he worked as an Agent of the Crown. His new status as a Duke however, did not make him want to step down as an Agent just yet, especially with a recent case that specifically embroils a series of planned heists within the ton. --- As the two are thrown together in a series of circumstances that was mostly chance, sometimes fate, and with a dash of secrecy, how would the turmoil change their lives?Complete![The Prince's Demon [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/36147598-256-k643992.jpg)

The Passion of London [Highlander's Love #1]
HIGHEST RANKING #6 in HISTORICAL FICTION! --- For all her life, Lady Evie Verrick had been regaled of tales of the Highlands from her Highland born and bred mother. She had grown up dreaming of chivalrous knights, sword-fighting, horse back riding. Tales of kin and family, loyalty and the warmth of a home. But being brought up in a traditional English household with a traditional father, her mother was the closest thing to the Highlands she could get. And when her mother died of pneumonia before her coming out, left to her father's care, Evie wants now, more then ever, to see the promised lands that she grew up with. --- Connor Gilroy had served as the first in command to the MacKenzie clan for as long as he could remember. He owed his loyalty to his best friend and brother in arms, Hammond MacKenzie, who had saved him from being skinned alive by English soldiers years ago, before the truce was signed between the two lands. Having no love lost for the country, Hammond would be the only person who could ever convince Connor to step foot back into English lands. His chief had recently received news on the death of the aunt he has never met, but Hammond was a man of his word, and he had promised his father he would care for all kin, regardless of who they were. But Connor never would've imagined that the cousin of his best friend would be a spirit of the flames. The way Evie took on life and all of its problems with a passion that ignited a hearth, would perhaps be the first time someone ever ignited more then just passion and desire within him.Complete
