    Arthur Ashford has spent most of his life at sea and kept most of his family at arm's length, which suits him perfectly well, until the death of his estranged half-brother, the Earl of Ravensmere, drags him back to London for a funeral, a will reading, and one introduction to the widow, Kathe, Lady Ravensmere. She is warm, protective, quick-witted, disarmingly direct when it suits her and expertly evasive when it doesn't. The kind of woman who can deflect a magistrate, outmaneuver half the businessmen in London, and win a game of Parcheesi with the same unbothered ease. She has also buried more husbands than a lady before thirty ought to. He tells himself he remains in London out of brotherly duty. He stays beneath her roof because it is the practical thing to do. Between a dead man's coded pocket-book, a solicitor who always seems one step ahead of him, and a household staff who clearly know far more than they're telling, and a mystery that grows stranger with every passing day, Arthur begins to suspect the real danger is not that Kathe's husbands keep dying, but that he is falling hopelessly in love with the most likely responsible. 💫 Victorian novel of secrets and deceit with a slow-burn romance 💫 Forbidden love 💫 Strong heroin 💫 Funny and witty CHAPTER BY CHAPTER

    After a fierce battle, he claimed my kingdom-and my fate. I am bound by duty to my people, but it is a duty that demands the greatest sacrifice. To save my kingdom, I must marry the man who conquered it. One bound by the crown, the other by my heart. When the king of Suryagarh attacked our kingdom, he did not just conquer our lands-he shattered countless lives. Thousands of widows, children left without fathers, and girls who were only beginning to understand the world. The loss was beyond words. And yet, to save them, I had no choice but to throw myself into the flames of my own sacrifice. I sent the king a marriage proposal through my father. My father was always against it and he must have hidden the truth about me from him. I don't know what he said, but I couldn't back down. I couldn't let my people suffer more. They needed me. Sitting before the holy fire, ready to take vows with my husband, not as a wife but as a mistress, I was shedding silent tears beneath my veil-not because of the sacrifice but because of the price I will pay for it. It all began with his words: "I always loved you. It was always you, never someone else." But the reality was different: "So you were always a manwhore?" "Yes, and you are my whore." And it ends with: "You promised to stay with me during this time. I am still waiting for you. Please... do not let me down." This is a story of a time when women were nothing but objects to be used and discarded, tied down to the bed by the chains of society and sweet taste. But the queen made sure none of them were deprived of their rights. Her legacy was one of hope, as she become the first queen to free courtesans from the shackles of slavery, granting them the freedom they deserve. She married the powerful king of Hind to save her kingdom, but in doing so, she never expected he would become the very reason to turn her life upside down. Mature content included!

    I never intended to become entangled in their politics, let alone in the bed of their prince. I crossed deserts and seas, driven by a single hope; to save my brother, the only family I have from a foreign land. He was captured by the King of Hind during our war of conquest. But to free him, I became bound to the man who snatched everything from me. The Prince whose very name fills me with rage. Rawal Ekagraj. A single night with him shattered my honor and binded me to a something, I never chose for myself. As the crowned Empress of Arabia, I could never betray my people. Yet, he made me falter. Why? His eyes. Deep, dangerous, and impenetrable eyes. Now, I am his bride. A forbidden bride trapped by vows I never wanted and held captive in a kingdom that sees me as the enemy. I lived with the fear of dying any moment there. He was never meant to be mine, just as I was never meant to be his. If we ever fall in love, which was always impossible, it would be as forbidden as it is undeniable. But Rawal was not the only danger I had to face. Something was there which I didn't know. Something which nobody knew. Dark and destructible. And when it came, we all fell on our knees. It destroyed and shed rivers of blood. But someone was still not satisfied. My past haunted me, my brother's life was slipping away, and the Prince- my captor, my enemy became the only solace I knew. He seeks peace in me, and in his arms I feel a dangerous flicker of love.

    The Villainess Who Was Loved Too Late Priscilla Ali Davis was born into wealth, but never into love. Raised by a family that punished every mistake and demanded perfection, Priscilla grew into a woman society loved to hate-the arrogant, jealous, and infamous countess who would do anything to win the heart of Duke Forrest Ace Atwood. But Forrest never loved her. When his heart belongs to another woman, Priscilla's obsession drives her to commit an unforgivable act, sending her to prison for the rest of her life. Years later, abandoned and dying alone, Priscilla makes one final wish: "If I could live again, I would do everything differently." When she opens her eyes, she is twenty years old once more--but in the body of the very woman she once hated. With a second chance at the life she destroyed, Priscilla vows never to chase the Duke again. But fate has other plans. Because the more she tries to stay away from Forrest, the closer he comes to the woman she has become. And when the Duke finally falls in love with her... he may already be loving the villainess he once despised.
