Between rockstars and fae Lords, what’s a girl to do? Margot Tanner has had a crush on Ash Stonewall since she was 15. Though close with her cousin Niklaus Hodges and drummer Timothy Green, the elusive Ash has always been just a step out of reach. Years later, Margot is the stage manager for the band Stone Dragons as they tour the country, but she is tired of longing for the unattainable Ash. With the gentle encouragement of Nik and Tim, she attends an afterparty and meets the mysterious Tobin Fetch. Their instant connection is a surprise, but even more shocking are the fairy wings that suddenly erupt from her back after exchanging a few kisses in a dark room. Ash Stonewall has enjoyed hiding among the humans, following his father’s decree to stay out of fae politics. However, the temptation of Margot Tanner has always been troublesome, and he dreads the day someone discovers Margot’s untapped potential. Now that Tobin has unlocked her true identity, Ash has to decide what is more important: hiding his true nature as a fae Lord and maintaining his rock star identity or revealing himself and claiming Margot as his own to protect her from fae who would abuse her gifts. Tobin Fetch always has a plan, but he never expected to stumble across an Unclaimed fae at an afterparty. Never one to ignore such a boon, Tobin is quick to free her powers, launching her into the fae world, but he never expected to want her for his own. Bound by loyalties in every direction, Tobin must decide how far he is willing to go to protect this newfound treasure. Caught in the middle of forces she barely understands, not to mention a band tour that seems to attract more and more frenzied fans, Margot must find her place in a world where everyone answers to someone. In this strange hierarchy, where does Margot belong?

A mysterious 1940s’ portrait leads researcher Phineas Fox to uncover a devastating wartime secret in this chilling novel of suspense. Phineas Fox finds it impossible to refuse when his sport-loving neighbour Toby begs for his help in finding out what’s happened to his cousin Arabella, who seems to have disappeared without trace.

The painting depicts the mysterious Christa Klein, Stefan’s sister ― and an alleged murderess. Was Christa Klein really guilty of a monstrous crime? What exactly happened within brooding Wewelsburg Castle back in 1941? And what does it have to do with Arabella’s disappearance? As Phin delves further, he uncovers evidence of a lost piece of music and a devastating wartime secret: an atrocity whose repercussions reach to the present day.

Lisbeth Dawes would rather not end up a spinster. After her first fiance leaves her at the altar, she agrees to marry Adrian Hathorne sight-unseen. She doesn’t expect much from her new husband, since he plans to leave for Jamaica within the year, but she does hope for friendship and freedom to pursue her own interests. Adrian Hathorne wants to be above reproach. He doesn’t indulge in any of the usual gentlemanly pursuits, nor does he chase after any women. When his father writes from Jamaica with instructions to marry as soon as possible, he does as asked. It is only after the wedding that he realizes he doesn’t really know how to be a husband - especially not to a bluestocking wife with so many of her own ideas. Divorce is not an option - which means Lisbeth and Adrian need to find common ground before their marriage of convenience goes up in smoke. Just when they have discovered they don’t disagree with each other over everything, another letter arrives from Jamaica with news neither of them expected. News that will test every aspect of their fledgling marriage. READER REVIEW - “This book was absolutely amazing, the characters, their love story, the values they shared.
