Book Description
Five beautiful witches ... one painful choice. I'm a witch. I didn't see that coming. I guess it explains all the weird stuff that keeps happening to me. All those odd things science couldn't explain. It also explains how I've ended up with a doorway into the fae realm at the bottom of the garden. Being a witch and a science geek makes my head hurt sometimes, but luckily I've got Corbin, Arthur, Flynn, Rowan, and Blake to awaken my powers and heal my broken heart. The only way our coven will be strong enough to battle the fae is if I choose one of them as a consort. But how can I choose when each of my guys is so special? How can I accept only one when they all fill the empty void inside me? When life gives you a fae portal, you make lemonade out of those evil little bastards. And that's just what we're going to do. The Castle of Fire and Fable is book 2 in a spicy fantasy romance series by USA Today bestselling author Steffanie Holmes. This full-length book glitters with love, heartache, hope, grief, dark magic, fairy trickery, steamy scenes, British slang, meat pies, second chances, and the healing powers of a good cup of tea.

Book Description
This Edgar Award Finalist by two New York Times–bestselling authors provides an “exciting” account of the devastating and mysterious cruise ship fire (The Washington Post). In the early morning hours of September 8, 1934, the luxury cruise liner Morro Castle, carrying 316 passengers and 230 officers and crew, caught fire a few hours out of the New York harbor on a return voyage from Havana. The fire spread with terrifying swiftness, transforming the ship into a blazing inferno. One hundred thirty-four people died that night—was it an accident? Writers Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan Witts prove that the disaster was no accident, but was planned, meticulously and deliberately, by an officer of the Morro Castle. His name: George White Rogers, chief radio officer. They also prove that Rogers was responsible for the death of the captain, who was poisoned several hours before the fire broke out. Shipwreck is a spellbinding moment-by-moment account of the Morro Castle’s last voyage, and one of the most spectacular disasters to stir the Atlantic Ocean. Through interviews with survivors, rescuers, and investigators, the authors detail a desperate investigation and the search for a mass murderer. Against the backdrop of the Great Depression and the buildup of World War II, Shipwreck is a sweeping tale of personal heroism, tragedy, and murder.
