Book Description
Chetton Hall was one of the glories of Jacobean domestic architecture, and the Spenders had lived in Chetton ever since their founder had peculated the money to build it while he was the King’s Secretary of Monopolies. Over the years they had accumulated accrustations of dignity, to say nothing of wealth. Which made it doubly shocking when the Earldom descended to Percy Spender, who was ‘not quite’, not to mention his family, who were not at all. When the family descends on Chetton for his sixtieth birthday, accompanied by various hangers-on, their main obsession is to discover his intentions for the future of the place. Hardly less interested is his man of business, and his neighbours, who feel sadly the diminished glory of the house. The Spenders, in fact, have always felt like birds in a guilded cage at Chetton. Before the celebrations are over, one of the birds is a very dead duck indeed. The traditional country house party murder is turned on its head, given a few twists, and ends up much reinvigorated in this witty and lively whodunit by a writer who, as described in The Times Literary Supplement, ‘can write most under the table with one hand behind his back.’ ‘Mr Barnard always maintains an exceptionally high level, being as much littérateur as mystery story writer; fortunately, he never lets his literary flair get in the way of his mysteries.’ New York Times Book Review

Book Description
A man’s home is his castle, but for Percy Spender that motto has been taken just a bit too literally. After the sudden death of first one distant relative and then another, the amiable Perce has become the 12th Earl of Ellesmere. And his home, no longer a cozy council flat, is now the drafty, imposing Chetton Hall, complete with more bedrooms than Perce can count and an army of servants. Frankly, all these fancy trappings make Perce itch. He’d just as soon sell up, buy a comfy cottage, and put a bundle on the ponies. However, some of his mates and family members have other ideas. And the sad fact is that an Unfortunate Accident can happen to anyone, even a lord of the realm.

Book Description
He’s a bull rider with a dark secret and even darker desires... Fenn Lockwood is in for the fight of his life after being tossed from a bull when he sees a beautiful bombshell red-head in a killer dress kick off her heels and runs to his rescue. Determined to find that gorgeous girl and give her a piece of his mind for nearly getting herself killed, he can’t help but picture doing other things with her too. When she shows up at his trailer telling him he’s some long-lost heir to a rich East Coast family, all he wants to do is lay her flat beneath him and give her something else to think about than the past. The past has only ever caused Fenn pain and he'd much rather kiss this feisty woman and show her just what it means to let a man tame her like a wild mustang. She’s a socialite who wants to be seen as something more than a pretty face. Hayden Thorne is rich, beautiful, and smart. But to the world, she’s nothing more than a girl whose only value is marrying and marrying rich. But she wants more from life, she has dreams, big dreams of running a business all her own and the only person who believes in her is her older brother Wes. When Hayden overhears that her brother’s best friend from childhood who was kidnapped and never seen again, may be living in Colorado, she drops everything and goes on a quest to bring back the Gold Coast’s long-lost golden boy. But when she comes face to face with Fenn for the first time, she falls hard and fast for the rough-and-tumble cowboy who knows just how she likes to play. When he removes his leather belt to bind her hands, she fairly melts. But the past is catching up with them, and old dangers are once again coming for Fenn. He may not be lucky enough to escape this time...

Book Description
Kiva trades one cage for another when she leaves behind a deadly prison for a deceptive palace in this dark and dangerous sequel to The Prison Healer, which Sarah J. Maas called "a must-read." Kiva Meridan is a survivor. She survived not only Zalindov prison, but also the deadly Trial by Ordeal. Now Kiva's purpose goes beyond survival to vengeance. For the past ten years, her only goal was to reunite with her family and destroy the people responsible for ruining their lives. But now that she has escaped Zalindov, her mission has become more complicated than ever. As Kiva settles into her new life in the capital, she discovers she wasn't the only one who suffered while she was in Zalindov--her siblings and their beliefs have changed too. Soon it's not just her enemies she's keeping secrets from, but her own family as well. Outside the city walls, tensions are brewing from the rebels, along with whispers of a growing threat from the northern kingdoms. Kiva's allegiances are more important than ever, but she's beginning to question where they truly lie. To survive this time, she'll have to navigate a complicated web of lies before both sides of the battle turn against her and she loses everything.
