The Alderven's Secrets: The Headstone legacy
Evelyn Pierce returns to her hometown after a decade, hoping to escape her painful past and find peace in teaching history at the local college. But the town is hardly a refuge-rumors are swirling about the reappearance of a legendary artifact: the Heartstone, said to hold the power to reveal hidden truths but also to bring about destruction. Legend has it that the Heartstone is cursed, but many in town believe it has reappeared, hidden somewhere in the castle ruins. Leo Hart, the town librarian, is also a historian who has been obsessed with the Heartstone legend. He finds himself drawn to Evelyn, who seems to share a connection with the town's lore that even she doesn't fully understand. As he spends more time with Evelyn, he senses her pain and mystery, and he's determined to unravel her past. Evelyn, meanwhile, is unsettled by her growing attraction to Leo, fearing he may discover the truth about her former fiancé, Theo. But soon, strange occurrences begin: messages in the form of poetry are left for Evelyn in the library, mirroring letters Theo once wrote to her. Leo and Evelyn begin to suspect that Theo may still be alive-and that he may hold the key to the Heartstone's location. As they get closer to the truth, they uncover more secrets about the town's past, Theo's disappearance, and their own families' intertwined histories.Complete

Rich People Problems
As much as Kimberly Astor hated to admit it, she had a slight problem. Okay, so it was theoretically a major problem, but it wasn't entirely her fault. Okay, so it was her fault, (at least to a certain extent, according to her) but her dad didn't need to be all rude about it. He especially did not need to threaten her future role as CEO on it too. And, setting up an arranged marriage to fix said 'problem' is so out of proportion. Okay, it wasn't completely out of proportion, but still. Jace Kingston didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to be married to a 'problematic heiress'. He certainly was not expecting a sexy vixen, who was hellbent on getting on his nerves and destroying the semblance of normalcy he established in his complex life. So, when the two come together to form a business alliance, they make a simple plan. 1. Fix the problem. 2. Don't ever bring up personal things. 3. Get out. Too bad breaking the second rule is making the third rule look a lot more... difficult.
