“You're ridiculous…” I muttered, watching him chuckle with amusement. “Perhaps, but your body gives way to my touch so easily.” There was no denying the way he made me feel, but at the same time, if I wasn’t careful, he would eventually break my heart. *** Raquel of the Crimson Blade has been waiting for this opportunity her entire life: to be a member of the infamous King's Guard. Unfortunately for Raquel, the good King Tiberius was taken by the Yellow Blight last fall, leaving his only remaining heir—Prince Regulus—to inherit the throne. He’s ill-tempered, foul-mouthed behavior is a problem and Raquel hates him with a passion. But when a failed assassination has trapped the pair behind enemy lines, the two must learn to put aside their differences if they want to survive. Courting the Prince of Moonlit Shadows is created by Claire Wilkins, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Book Description
There is but one burning question on everyone’s minds: Who will be House Albert’s successor? A buzz ripples through high society as onlookers wager which of the equally worthy Albert twins will be the heir to the nation’s most powerful noble family. But Mary’s brothers have a knack for being just as eccentric as she is. Instead of vying for the successor’s seat, the twins busy themselves with fawning over Mary, bullying Adi, and being reined in by Adi’s older brother, Roberto. With the gleeful Lang and gloomy Lucian so disinterested in the family legacy, the spotlight begins shifting to none other than Mary herself. However, Mary’s facing problems of her own. A certain rumor about Alicia is spreading among noble circles, and her daily visits to Albert Manor suddenly cease. Have her humble origins once again cast a shadow over her? And can Mary find a way to help her friend while wrapped up in House Albert’s succession dilemma?

Book Description
The enchanting blend of passion and sorcery that has won Glenna McReynolds such high accolades weaves its unique spell once more in this new novel. Here is a one-of-a-kind reading experience, bringing together a thief and a princess on an unforgettable journey toward danger and desire.... Prince Of Time He's the last thing she expected--and she has waited for him all her life! Ten thousand years ago it was written that her barbarian prince would have the powers of a mage, the heart of a warrior, and the courage of a saint. Instead she gets a mercenary thief with a fondness for off-world wine and the vice-filled dens of the Old Dominion! How can the sacred prophecy be wrong--or is there more to this man than meets the eye? Lady Avallyn, Princess of the White Palace, has little choice--and no time--to ponder the possibilities of a mistake. She's the one woman with the knowledge to save a twelfth-century mage whose demise turned the earth into a barren desert. And there's only one man who can take her back into the past: the charismatic thief who may or may not be the fatedPrince of Time. Morgan ab Kynan knows nothing of the ancient prophecy, only that he was wrenched from his own world and thrust into a future where he has a price on his head. Set upon by a pack of bounty hunters, the timerider finds himself saved by the most extraordinary woman, a golden-haired beauty in tattered black robes. Now they're bound together--literally--by the tracking bracelet she slapped around his wrist. He is hers--for the moment--but who is really the captive and who the captor? For even without the bracelet, their fates and emotions are bound together by something greater. The reluctant thief and the resolute princess now must travel back in time, followed by a ruthless villain who wants them both dead. Morgan and Avallyn will need more than skill, courage, and magic to survive in the ancient past, where the greatest enemy of all awaits them at journey's end--Dharkkum, the devouring darkness of a lost age. They will need faith in each other...and a trust born of a passion willing to sacrifice everything--even life itself--for love.

Book Description
Welcome to Batch Magna, a place where anything might happen. And often does... When Sir Humphrey Strange, 8th Baronet and squire of Batch Magna, departs this world for the Upper House, what’s left of his estate passes, through the ancient law of entailment, to distant relative Humph, an amiable, overweight short-order cook from the Bronx. Sir Humphrey Franklin T. Strange, 9th Baronet and squire of Batch Magna, as Humph now most remarkably finds himself to be, is persuaded by his Uncle Frank, a small-time Wall Street broker, to make a killing by turning the sleepy backwater into a theme-park image of rural England, a playground for the world's rich. But while the village pub and shop put out the Stars and Stripes in welcome, the tenants of the estate’s dilapidated houseboats tear up their notices to quit, and led by pulp-crime writer Phineas Cook and the one-eyed Lt-Commander James Cunningham, they run up the Union Jack and prepare to engage. What readers are saying about The Batch Magna Chronicles series: “An enchanting mixture of The Wind in The Willows and The Darling Buds of May. An England that doesn’t exist but surely should.” “Reading this book was like sitting down for a nice long chat with an old friend. I loved reading the Welsh village descriptions; it felt like coming home. ... I eagerly await the next instalment of the Batch Magna crew!” “I first got this book out of the local library, and then brought a copy – I wanted to read it again and again. It’s a treasure, a smashing read, funny and beautifully written.” “These books are such fun, darkly comic and full of great characters. ... Batch Magna is a place I would love to find, and the river sounds idyllic.” “Hurrah for Batch Magna, Humphrey and friends.” “I loved this book. It’s lyrical and very amusing, with all the charm of an old Ealing comedy. ... More please Mr Maughan!” “What an amazing writer! I have never found any descriptive writing that has gripped me so much before.” “A thoroughly enjoyable read. ... Is there another Batch Magna book on the way, please? Such a wonderfully descriptive bucolic and warmly ‘human’ story with echoes of the Darling Buds of May.” “A wonderful, funny, well-crafted escape from everyday life. If you love writing that absorbs you into the landscape you will love this book. Every sense was satisfied with the author’s beautiful descriptions of the Marches. Escape from the tarmac, concrete and relentlessness of life with this stunning book. Thank you Mr Maughan.” “I absolutely loved this book and all the characters became so real to me, I just couldn’t put it down.”
