    The youngest child of the formidable and powerful MacLeod family of Ellesmure Island, Eilean is all but neglected in the rowdy environment of Stormway Castle - where a girl has not been born to the ruling family in centuries. Her seven older brothers dominate the time and attention of her parents, and her family seems utterly perplexed by what to do with a girl aside from waiting for her to grow up so she can get married. Bright and intelligent, Eilean's potential is only seen by her good friend, Alexander Leslie, a ward of the MacLeod's and a Lord from a neighboring kingdom. When Eilean's fathers and brothers are called off to war, the burden of running Stormway Castle and the surrounding estates falls into Eilean's unprepared hands. She struggles to maintain control of her family's lands as conflict, famine, and her own ignorance threaten to pull Ellesmure into ruin. When an old friend returns and provides Eilean with the support she desperately needs to survive, she finds herself torn between her heart's desires and her growing love of duty to the people of the island. A sweeping tale of love and self-reliance, Lady Eilean is an incredibly well-loved Wattpad book. Newly revised and rewritten, the novel now goes deeper into the story and the lives of its characters. Lady Eilean explores themes of purpose, friendship, romance, and resilience. Published with companion audiobook videos for each chapter.

    When Abigail Hastings is torn from London's glittering ballrooms and forced aboard a merchant vessel, she's determined to find her way back to the life she was promised-at any cost. But the Atlantic Ocean has other plans. As storms rage and pirates threaten, Abigail discovers that survival demands more than silk gowns and social graces. It requires courage she never knew she possessed. Eric Bailey has spent six months recovering from betrayal, and now he's finally returning to the Caribbean to expose the naval captain who left him and his crewmates for dead. The last thing he needs is to play protector to a spoiled aristocrat who thinks the world should bow to her whims. But when the captain assigns him to guard Miss Hastings, Eric finds himself drawn to the fire beneath her icy facade. As the voyage grows more perilous and the distance between their worlds seems insurmountable, he must choose between the justice he's sworn to seek and the woman who's beginning to steal his heart.

    History says Dong Zhuo dies in 192. Lü Bu kills him. Then the Dong clan gets exterminated. I knew all of this. Which would have been much more useful if I had not opened my eyes as Dong Zhuo's nineteen-year-old son. There are worse transmigrations. Few come with such a clear expiration date. Fortunately, the original Dong Yu left me one magnificent inheritance: Everyone already thinks I'm useless. Lazy. Cowardly. Drunk whenever possible. More interested in beautiful women than military affairs. Perfect. All I have to do is protect that reputation, get Mother somewhere safe, gather enough money and food to survive, and avoid every famous bastard I remember from the Three Kingdoms. Especially Lü Bu. Then Father asked what I wanted. "A small estate." "Where?" "West." Li Ru looked at me. "Why west?" "Yuan Shao went east." The room went quiet. That should have been my first warning. I wanted distance from Yuan Shao. They heard that I had already predicted rebellion. I wanted grain because jewelry is difficult to eat. They heard preparation for famine and war. I counted carts because, at some point, I fully intend to run away. Somehow that was worse. Yesterday, Li Ru thought I was an idiot. Today, he thinks I might have spent nineteen years pretending to be one. Father has started asking for my opinion. Lü Bu has started paying attention to me. And every time I desperately try to prove that I am a cowardly, lazy, womanizing waste of a noble son, everyone becomes a little more convinced that the act itself is part of some terrifying plan. I know how this story ends. I am trying very hard not to be important enough to change it. Unfortunately, the people around me seem determined to promote me into treason.

    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)

    HIGHEST RANKING #6 in HISTORICAL FICTION --- Amhuinn Kincaid, exiled from the Kincaid Clan, has spent the last three years as an outcast among the Highlands. She lived alone with her brother Tamhas, and the two siblings rely on each other. However, when her brother ended up in trouble and captured by their former clan, Amhuinn had no other choice but to turn to the clan closest to where she and Tamhas had made their home - no other than Hammond MacKenzie, the unsmiling Laird of the MacKenzie Clan. Hammond remembered meeting the blonde with a limp, just a year ago when he was on his way back from England. He had extended a helping hand back then, offering assistance should they ever need it. He hadn't given it much thought then, but he never expected her to turn up on his doorstep one fateful evening, firmly asking for his assistance and refusing to leave until he agreed to do so. Complying with her requests would mean putting his clan in danger... but it appears that the MacKenzie had found one minx, he would do anything for.

    Roxana kept her head bowed as Alexander stepped towards the captives of war, sweeping his cloak behind him. He passed by all of the women with the indifference and sobriety that rivalled their fairness and beauty. "The Bactrian women are eyesores," His deep, passionate voice ran out, earning the chuckles of his generals. That was when she realized that a pair of feet in leather soles had stopped before her. Slowly, she looked up. She saw a pair of metal greaves on strong, sturdy legs. She saw a kilt and scaled armour securely tied off at the shoulders. On the centre of his chest was engraved a sun with a face drawn on it. Then she focussed her eyes on his chiselled jawline, then at his arrogant mouth, and then his mismatched but clear brown and blue eyes. Roxana's eyes widened. This was the greatest commander ever known on earth, the one who massacred thousands of citizens who revolted against him in Thebes, the one who had burned down the palace complex of Persepolis in one night, and the one who never lost a battle in his life. She wanted to look away from his intense gaze. But she lifted her chin a little higher and boldly locked her gaze with his. "What is your name?" He asked, his expression stone cold. She felt his hand touch a lock of her long, dark brown mane. His gaze bore into her eyes so piercingly that she decided to cast her head to the side. "Roxana, my lord." She replied. "Who is your father?" "Oxyartes, mighty warlord and nobleman of Sogdia." "Ah, Oxyartes. I know him. I know him very well," He smiled. Then he bent down so that the tips of their noses were almost touching. She could feel his warm breath which turned into mist in the freezing winter air. Roxana shivered. "Tell your father that I have come," He whispered, "And that his people are now my people."
