ALMENDRA'S QUEST



Almendra Ravenlock, 17, has never been outside her kingdom in all her life. So when an unexpected messenger arrives and tells her that the prince, she has been waiting for, is at death’s door and that she is the only one who can save him, Almendra grabs at the chance to take her life into her own hands.

As she travels through her kingdom with her wolf companion and her new friend, Almendra unearths a horrifying secret buried deep under the ground, discovers that her life and her kingdom are in as much danger as ever, and that the prince she is determined to save might not be the one meant to save her or her kingdom after all.


A SECRET ARRANGEMENT



Henry Chadderton's father earned his wealth in trade, but he looks to elevate his son to the gentry through marriage into a titled family. And so it is that Edward Montford, the second son of an impoverished baronet, accompanies his twin sister Emma to London in order to introduce her to her future husband.

Henry neither appreciates being ordered around nor has any intention of marrying anyone. Then he meets Emma—and Edward—and falls in love with the wrong sibling, setting off a chain of events that will cause arguments, bloodshed, jealousy, and scandal. But Henry will endure it all if it will eventually lead Edward to him.


MARGARET'S REMATCH


Afraid of scandal that might very well ruin her reputation should she stay in London, Margaret Fairfax accepts a reluctant invitation from Mr Westfield, her late sister’s husband, to come and stay in the country with his family. It is no secret that Mr Westfield greatly dislikes Miss Fairfax due to their long-standing feud, which is why Margaret makes it her mission to change his mind and to prove him wrong on her account. It is not an easy task, to be sure, but Margaret has many charms and virtues (not to mention allies) that gradually turn the tide in her favour, securing Mr Wesfield’s good opinion as well as his heart. However, things take a most unfortunate turn with the arrival of her deceitful friend, who is determined to ruin it all in order to see Margaret married to her brother instead.
