"I want my very own castle; I want tons of servants and men throwing themselves at my feet. I want to be pampered and rich. I want my own bloody fairy tale!" 

Unfortunately even wishes never went smoothly for Sarah. 

Instead of getting her happily ever after Sarah was unceremoniously dumped into a world that was both completely alien and chock full of intrigue and peril as well. She got the castle and servants all right but she also got plenty more that wasn't listed in the programme. 

Now all she could do was bide her time and pray for a way out of the mess before it was too late.

Iain McLaughlin swore he'd never marry an Englishwoman. 

Infamous as the Black Wolf of the Highlands the gruff warrior was used to having everything his own way. But circumstances had a way of changing in the blink of an eye. Even a great laird isn't immune to the dictates of fate. 

So now he had no choice but to ride forth and claim his prize, whether he wants it or not however is another matter entirely.

Sure, she was plain and dull, but she was the sort one could settle down with in a few years after the sowing of the wild oats was completed. . .if one could get past how plain and ordinary she was that is. In truth, Lady Lavinia Antrucha was nothing compared to her sister, Cassandra. She had neither beauty nor social notoriety. . .but at least she didn't leave a trail of broken hearts behind her. She's the one people go to when they're in trouble and don't know what to do, the one who is supposed to be the stronger of the two Antrucha girls, the one her parents expect will stay with them for the rest of their lives, because what man would want to marry plain, little Lavinia? The most sought after bachelor in all of Scotland, the life of any given party, that's what they named Laird Ethan Brodi. He was the toast of high society and the man every mother yearned to see on their doorstep, asking to see their fine daughter. He knew there was something more to life than petty women who couldn't see past his fine physique, and he intended to find it; that is, until his father decided he had spent enough time unmarried and forged an alliance with the rich Antruchas by promising him in marriage to the eldest daughter who would certainly match Ethan in good looks and fine tastes. As far as Ethan was concerned, Lady Cassandra Antrucha could take a long walk off a short pier, but his father's word was law, and so to England he must go to meet his future bride. Can he go through with a marriage when his heart yearns for another? #Wattys2016

"Let us direct this argument a little more towards philosophy. Think of our many worlds, as possible worlds. Possible fictional worlds, existing in those books you love to read. What if every single one of those imaginary worlds is real? And what if you two, working together, might have a chance to change them? To create happier lives for many, many unfortunate and tragic characters? It would not change the books for the readers in our world, you don't have to worry about that. You would only make their lives better in their own universes." °•○•°•○•° Siena, a young Italian teacher with a dream of working in the Uffizi Gallery. James, a Scottish journalist and inventor working on his book about the Lochness Monster. They have nothing in common, nothing apart from their love of books. However, once they are brought together by the mysterious Bibliophile Society, they find it very hard to stay apart. °•○•°•○•° "So many worlds, so much to do... " James mumbled distractedly as he and Siena finally followed George towards the front door. "...so little done, such things to be. That's Alfred, Lord Tennyson," Siena finished for him as George opened the front door for them. °•○•°•○•° This is a contemporary, urban fantasy romance that will transport you into the worlds of books (those in public domain, for copyright reasons).
