Book Description
A Victorian finishing school where snooty dukes' daughters are tamed... Born on the wrong side of the blanket, Sally switches places with her half-sister to sneak her way into a rigorous finishing school meant only for highborn young ladies. The eighteen-year-old beauty pictures herself drinking tea with her pinkie stuck out whilst husband-hunting in high society. Lady Savannah's eagerness to swap places with a mere housemaid like Sally should have served as fair warning. And yet the harsh realities of school discipline come as a shock. New headmaster Gerard believes in the power of domestic discipline to transform spoiled young ladies into proper young wives. The new girl needs strict correction, but he's eager to prove himself to her influential father. That spirited hussy will be whipped into shape as a marriageable young lady if it's the last thing he ever does. At this school, both Sally and Gerard have a lot to learn. And they'd better learn it fast-- before they lose their hearts. This full-length Victorian historical romance novel includes a stern headmaster with a firm hand, a spunky maid who transforms herself into a lady, domestic discipline and school discipline scenes, and hissable villains including the mean-girl bullies you'd expect. Note: This is a finishing school for Victorian ladies who are guilty of bad behavior by the strict standards of the day. All characters are age 18 or older. If domestic discipline scenes for pleasure or punishment trigger you, please choose a different book.

Book Description
Stranded deep beneath the Sealed Archive, Allen faces down the “angel” possessing his student Stella. Physically and magically exhausted, the young tutor’s chances seem slim without help. Unfortunately, rescue won’t be forthcoming—his friends on the surface have their own crisis to solve. A rampaging Great Tree threatens to engulf the royal capital in deadly foliage, and the kingdom’s armies rally to the city’s defense. The dukes have sworn to avert disaster at any cost—including Stella’s life. To save their tutor and their friend, Allen’s remaining students must brave an ancient and secret route beneath the palace and uncover the secrets of a princess erased from history—and they have competition. Church agents race to claim the angel for their own sinister ends, and one wears a familiar face. Can Allen bring himself to face an old friend from beyond the grave?

The rebellion is finally at an end, leaving Allen to recuperate with his students in the eastern capital. But neither he nor his home city have long to tend their war wounds in peace. When the unassuming tutor is awarded the title of the legendary warrior he’s long admired, he finds himself facing not only the predictable backlash from what remains of the conservative aristocracy but also a challenge from his idol’s former comrades in arms! Can he prove himself to some of the mightiest soldiers alive? Of course, Allen’s own standing is far from his only concern. His partner Lydia has mysteriously lost her magical power, while his student Stella’s is just as inexplicably growing. His friend Gil is contemplating drastic measures to atone for family crimes. The sinister Church of the Holy Spirit continues to advance its plots abroad. And in the royal capital, a new conspiracy is brewing.

Book Description
In the course of one disastrous meeting, Allen went from being hailed as his hometown’s savior to a fugitive from his own kingdom’s aristocracy. Even the brilliant tutor never saw that coming—although his partner Lydia did, if her well-packed suitcase is anything to go by. Finally making good on years of threats, she whisks him away to the city of water, where they can escape their homeland in style. But the renowned tourist destination is currently the capital of an enemy nation, and Allen’s friends have more planned for his trip than lying low and taking in the sights. Conspiracy lurks behind scenic canals and historic buildings as rival factions vie to prolong the war or conclude peace, and the specter of a more sinister power moves among them. Even working together, Allen and Lydia may finally have met their match.
