Isabella Ruth-Ann Wilton, heiress to the Wilton Estates and Manors and semi-citizen of Britain and the British West Indies: belonged in a quite peculiar predicament. Her father just might be dead and without his protection, she just might have to flee everything she's ever known in the Western Isle and take refuge in the cutthroat, 1820, English society.

Duke William Cavendish, The 6th Duke of Devonshire, is the fully British sire of one of the oldest, most powerful duchies in all of England. With this power, comes great responsibility. And with great responsibility comes a generally unbearable gentleman of a Duke. 

In Bella's time of trouble, she is sent to live with the cold, chilling and calculating Duke as per her father's orders. However, when these two personalities collide in a flurry of sexual attraction, sinful temptation with an unsolved mystery as to who leaked the evidence of treason against Lord Wilton and ultimately cause his death; will Lady Bella and Duke Cavendish succumb to the burning magnetism that consumes them both, or will Lady Bella allow society to dictate exactly what a woman of her colour should and should naught do?

In a world where love and race are challenged by each other; and sexual attraction does not always lead to affection, will the odds be in one's favour or will one leave England with a broken heart?

Lady Eleanor Mary Cantwell, daughter of the Marquess of Salford, is a proper young lady. With her golden complexion, raven-black hair, and manners befitting a princess, Lady Eleanor has always been deemed a belle. There is just one problem. Lady Eleanor Cantwell is Indian. Having been adopted from India when Lady Salford found herself unable to bear a child, Lady Eleanor is shunned by society, including her mother, on account of her true heritage. The ladies turn their noses up at her and the gentlemen only wish for her virtue which she clings to dearly. They certainly have no wish to wed an Indian girl, no matter how pretty she is! Which is why the entire ton is incredulous when a young man - a duke, no less! - offers his hand in marriage to the young daughter of the Marquess of Salford. Lady Eleanor finds it quite hard to believe that any gentleman would wish to marry her and instead of feeling grateful, all she feels is remorse and anger. A husband would only bring with him a mountain of restrictions that were detrimental to her plans of travelling the world - the land of her ancestors, in particular. So, when her parents sell her off to the duke, she realises that she no longer cares for society, her beloved father, or her reputation. And when the duke makes her an enticing offer, she realises she would have to abandon all sense of propriety, manners, and rules to do what he asks of her. She would have to defy. ©Richa Rachael Kurian, 2021 . *1st Place Winner in GENERAL FICTION/HISTORICAL FICTION of the HIDDEN GEMS AWARDS * Featured in the DIVERSE FICTION reading list by @Ambassadors * Featured in the HISTORICAL FICTION reading list by @AmbassadorsIN * Featured in the WAR & MILITARY reading list by @HistoricalFiction * Featured in the HISTORICAL DIVERSELIT reading list by @HistoricalFiction *Featured in the HISTORICAL reading list by @adventure *Featured in the DIVERSELIT ADVENTURES reading list by @adventure

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
