Revenge is a dish best eaten cold. Miss Letitia DeVere adopts this tactic when she returns to London after a two-year absence to find her former admirer Lord Charles Blackwood on the verge of proposing to Miss Patience Cherwell. Lord Blackwood's Valentine Ball proved to be the turning point in his fledgling romance with Patience. Letitia is not the kind of woman that gives up easily, as Patience and Charles soon find out. She stoops at nothing to achieve her aims. However, Letitia has a dark past, with secrets that threaten to return and destroy her newfound social success. When Charles proves less malleable than in the past, Letitia resorts to subterfuge, seduction, blackmail, and even violence to force him to propose. Will he see through her tricks and remain true to Patience, or will Letitia's seductive wiles lure him back? (This is the sequel to Lord Blackwood's Valentine ball)

How far would you go to protect the ones you love? A successful architect with a promising career in London, Brian's world spins out of control when the man he always saw as a second father betrays him in the most unexpected way. Left without closure, a year has passed and Brian is now more determined than ever to undo the harm done to the ones he loves most, his family. Even if that means riding the thin line between justice, revenge, and obsession... Immersed in his resolve, finding love again was the last thing on his mind. Until fate steps in and a chance encounter changes everything. Meeting Olivia again so unexpectedly, at his best friend's wedding, stirs up memories he had long ago put away. She'd been his first love, his kindred spirit - and the woman who left him without saying so much as a goodbye. Which doesn't make him want her less. He knows it, the moment she locks her deep green eyes on his. Even knowing it might be too late to repair what's been once broken, Brian refuses to lose her again and sets out to find a way back to her heart. But it's been more than ten years since their story was left unfinished. Will they get one last chance to make things right? Or will Brian learn that sometimes justice comes at too high a price? *** NOTE TO READERS: A full-length, standalone contemporary romance, Where the Stars Fall was previously published on Wattpad as Falling Home.
