As the beloved stepdaughter of the Earl of Castleton, Lady Mariah Lyons cherishes her home at Plumford
Manor, but her idyllic world will be threatened when the estate passes to Cyril Lightbourne, a childhood friend
she hasn't seen or heard from in years. Once, Mariah dreamed their old friendship would kindle into something
more--but that was before she heard that Cyril was courting the cruelhearted Lady Pearl. Now Mariah is willing
to welcome him as a friend and pray he will finally be the heir her stepfather needs, but she'll keep her heart
locked safely away from anyone with such poor taste.
Due to misunderstandings, Cyril Lightbourne has long avoided returning to Plumford Manor, yet he reluctantly
arrives in time for Christmas. When his friendship with Lady Mariah reignites, he finds himself torn between
his affection for her and her family's distance toward him because of Lady Pearl, a woman he'd rather forget.
Then, more trouble arrives in the form of a Danish lord on a mission to win Mariah's hand by Christmas . . . and
to disgrace Cyril in the process.
Inspired by The Nutcracker, this Edwardian-era historical romance is a tale of holiday spirit, love, and the power
of family and friendship from bestselling and award-winning author Roseanna M. White.
Rage burns brighter than any spellfire …
Deep in the birchwoods of Norway, magic courses through the veins of two sisters. For years they’ve been alone, but sweet-tempered Kaija is tired of living in shadows and longs for a life filled with community, even if it means stifling her magic. But Minna is a witch through
and through, with wrath always simmering just below the surface. Different as they may be, both will never forget the day they were driven from their village. The day their mother burned.
When Kaija leaves to pursue a new life, Minna is left alone in the darkness of the forest. Devastated and outraged at the betrayal, Minna casts a curse to punish those who took everything from her. What she doesn’t realize is that this act will incite a deadly chain of events. Soon
it will destroy everything, including the life Kaija has lovingly built. But once a witch’s rage boils, regret means nothing—she can’t take back what’s already done.
Someone will have to burn.
Gaia Gill was last seen at a house party on Bluff Point, Moon Mountain Resort, New Hampshire, in the early hours of Sunday morning. Her family is very concerned about her and is seeking any information on her whereabouts.
Gaia Gill is missing. Gaia is beautiful and smart and has everything to look forward to. But on the night of her going-away party at the winter resort she’d been working at, she disappears without a trace.
Her younger sister, Esme, is supposed to be flying back to England with her family after their vacation with Gaia. But how can they leave when Gaia is gone?
Especially because nobody remembers Gaia leaving the party. Or if they do, they’re not saying. Everyone has their own secrets: the little rich girl, the exboyfriend, the ski instructor, the failed reality star.
Esme’s out of her depth searching the dark, dangerous forests and icy slopes of Moon Mountain, until she teams up with a local boy who promises to help. But the clock is ticking. The longer Gaia is missing, the less likely it is she’ll make it back … alive. And it’s up to Esme to
piece together the clues of her final hours before it’s too late.
1906
After a summer of successful pirate-treasure hunting, Lady Emily Scofield and her friends must hide the unprecedented discoveries they’ve made, thanks to the betrayal of her own family. Horrified by her brother, who will stop at nothing to prove himself to their greedy
father, Emily is forced to take a stand against her family—even if it means being cut off entirely.
Bram Sinclair, Earl of Telford, is fascinated with tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table—an interest he’s kept mostly hidden for the last decade. But when a diary is unearthed on the islands that could lead to a secret artifact, Bram is the only one able to piece the legends together.
As Bram and Emily seek out the whereabouts of the hidden artifact, they must dodge her family and a team of archaeologists. In a race against time, it is up to them to decide what makes a hero worthy of legend. Is it fighting valiantly to claim the treasure … or sacrificing everything in the name of selfless love?
1906 Beth Tremayne has always been drawn to adventure. During her childhood, she fed that desire by exploring every inch of the Isles of Scilly. Now, after stumbling across an old collection of letters and a map buried on her family's property, she's found more adventure than she ever anticipated in the hunt for pirate treasure. But in order to discover where the clues lead, she must search alongside Lord Sheridan, a man she finds insufferable. Sheridan has spent years pursuing whatever archaeological interests pique his imagination. And when he discovers that Beth's search connects with one of his far-removed pirate ancestors, he can't help getting involved. Plus, he finds her irresistible, even though she insists he stole a prized possession of hers. As they work together following different clues and drawing closer to danger, they start to piece together a story of tragic love and piratical adventure. But which treasure will bring the greatest surprise-the one they find in each other or the one just out of their reach?
Princess Aster and Princess Ursula are the only children of the Bear Major, high king and head of the royal House of the Hemoth Bear. Rivals, both girls dream of becoming queen someday, although neither really deserve to-brilliant, spoiled, and difficult, they have little to recommend them. But everything changes when fire and murder come to their castle, and the crown is stolen from their family. Overnight, the girls are forced onto the run, along with the half-grown grizzly Alcor, the symbol of their house, and the lowly bearkeeper Dev. As a bitter struggle for the throne consumes the kingdom in civil war, dragging every family from the House of Hounds to the House of the Ox into chaos, the sisters must rely on Dev, Alcor, and each other to survive-and find wells of courage, cunning, and skill they never knew they had. From celebrated fantasist Meaghan McIsaac comes The Bear House, the first entry in a new middle-grade fantasy series set in a gritty medieval world where the ruling houses are based on the constellations-and the stakes are sky-high.
1906 Lady Elizabeth "Libby" Sinclair, with her love of microscopes and nature, isn't favored in society. She flees to the beautiful Isles of Scilly for the summer and stumbles onto the dangerous secrets left behind by her holiday cottage's former occupant, also named Elizabeth, who mysteriously vanished. Oliver Tremayne-gentleman and clergyman-is determined to discover what happened to his sister, with the help of the girl now living in what should have been Beth's summer cottage ... especially when he realizes it's the curious young lady he met briefly two years ago, who shares his love of botany and biology. But the hunt for his sister involves far more than nature walks, and he can't quite believe all the secrets Beth had been keeping from him. As Libby and Oliver work together, they uncover ancient legends, pirate wrecks, betrayal, and the most mysterious phenomenon of all: love.
