***Previously Titled "I Can't"***
Rowanna has finally escaped from the greedy clutches of her aunt and uncle. The people that were supposed to be her protectors had been selling her to anyone that would pay the right price. Her only plan was to head north to Scotland and pray for the best. When Alistair, the handsome son of a Scottish Laird, came across a beautiful woman in London he knew he needed her in his life. After she turned him away, however, he decided to return home for the first time in several years. Fate hadn't finished with this couple, though; they would meet again, and what an adventure it would be.

In the glittering kingdom of Aravelle, love is a dangerous game. Princess Seraphina has spent her life trapped behind palace walls, her every move dictated by duty and politics. When she meets Rowan, a loyal royal guard sworn to protect her, their connection is instant, powerful - and utterly forbidden.

An Unexpected Life
Isabel's life was turned upside down with one decision. She had been living rather a peaceful, albeit boring, life with her grandparents on the edge of the Scottish Highlands when a fateful land trade occurred and she was brought into a world that she never imagined. Isabel, now with the nickname Isla, finds herself in a whole new village, learning a new language, new world views, new traditions, and dealing with new emotions. --------------------------------- Laird Lachland MacNichol was tired. While he was only in his late 20s, he had spent most of his adult life picking up the mess that was left to him by his incompetent father. Not only had he reestablished their clans control of the Isle of Skye, he'd accidentally found himself with families under his protection on the mainland. While this made his old clan families proud of their newfound strength and connections, it had also gained the attention of other lairds in the area. Now, he had to pull in extra help from the new families to prepare for an onslaught of visitors from all ranks. Little did Lachlan know that his actions had put more into play than he realized and the laird's life was about to be changed in ways he could not imagine. (Very loosely set in the Scottish Highlands before the English impact the region too much - will revise someday to fix historical inaccuracies and make the timeline more concrete)Complete

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
