Violent Delights (Violent Delights Book 1)
In January 1328 fourteen year old Philippa sets sail for England, where her arranged marriage to the young King Edward awaits her. Philippa finds England a hotbed of political intrigue, with Edward's father dead under mysterious circumstances, and his mother eager to take control of the throne. Scheming nobles, a vicious dowager queen, loyal servants, jousts, and psychological warfare ensues. Can Philippa navigate her way through the mess of English politics while forging a relationship with her new husband? Based on the fascinating true story. Trigger/Content warning: this is primarily YA, however, due to the fact that the teenage characters are married there is extended discussion regarding the fact that the characters are expected to have sex. Nothing graphic or particularly steamy on page, but true to reality the teenage characters are in fact married. Some brief violence. Some brief profanity. Some psychological discussions regarding family relationships.Complete

The House of Beardsley
Ever since people could remember only men were allowed to enter the House of Beardsley, but for the first time four young girls with nothing in common have been hired to work in the mansion as live-in housekeepers. Shuyan, a Chinese orphan living in Victorian England, has always had a hard time finding a job, so she applies without much thought to the infamous House of Beardsley. Her co-workers, Bethany, Clo, and Rhiannon, on the other hand, seem to have no desire to work. Although they have been warned to keep their contact with the seven men of Beardsley as minimal as possible, Shuyan comes close to overstepping the boundaries when she makes contact with the crippled and gentle master Eugene. When she finds out the girls are hired for a much more sinister reason from the cold and mysterious Tobias, will she choose to stay in the House of Beardsley? More importantly, with each secret she unearths and relation she makes will she be able to leave...? #1 in Victorian-era (1/31/20) #1 in Asiansinlit (2/13/20) #1 in nobility (2/25/20) #1 in Edwardian (3/31/20) #1 in earl (4/22/20) #1 in Asian (8/9/20) #1 in gothicromance (1/4/21) #2 in debutante (4/18/20) #2 in regencyromance (10/3/20) #3 in Victorian (2/20/20) #1 in gothic (9/7/24)Complete
