Book Description
Phineas Blanchard, the Earl of Delacourt, feels restless and he can’t place why. It’s like there’s some itch he can’t scratch as he goes through the motions of his duties to his title and the dissipated pleasures he finds as a rake in hells all over London. Until, that is, he encounters a mysterious woman one night. One who bewitches and challenges him in ways that keep him dreaming of her. Imagine his surprise when he later realizes she is the infamous masked female boxing champion only known as The Hellion. Esme Crawford is the daughter of a marquess and ran from her life in Society when her father died under mysterious circumstances, leaving her in grave danger. Becoming The Hellion was a way to survive and retake control of her existence. But now Finn is dancing around the edges of her deceptions and if she plays too close to his fire, she will surely be revealed and possibly burned. Neither can stay away from the other and eventually Finn discovers both her true identity and the fact that she believes her father was murdered. Now a passionate affair rages between them, and a treacherous investigation brings them closer and closer to a man more than willing to kill. Will they be able to overcome the scandal of their passion is one question. Will they survive is quite another.

Helena Emerson yearns for romance and adventure, and dreams of wedding a duke for love. She knows she would never be able to endure a marriage with the serious Viscount of Addersley, no matter how handsome he might be. Consumed with logic and good sense, the man might as well be a statue. He does not even dance! She declines his offer, much to the outrage of her family, determined to wed happily or not at all. But Joshua Hargood, Seventh Viscount of Addersley, is not the man Helena assumes him to be. He put aside his rakehell ways a decade before, blaming himself for the accident that claimed his intended. He has, however, never been able to resist a dare if the reward was worthy, and the challenge of undermining Helena’s assumptions is tempting beyond all. He takes a disguise, planning to be a rogue only for the lady he desires to wed, convinced that this is the merit of his scandalous past. Helena is captivated by her mysterious suitor and soon pierces his disguise, only to learn that the viscount lost his betrothed years before—is his heart even available to claim? No sooner is Joshua convinced of success in his suit than his notorious brother, believed dead at Waterloo, returns to demand his due. Joshua knows that his embittered brother will only be satisfied when Addersley itself is destroyed, along with Joshua’s own happiness and prospects. Is he doomed to watch past tragedy repeat itself, or can Joshua save both his legacy and his beloved Helena? * * * disguise, mistaken identity, secrets, scars, wicked for you, spies, intrigue, suspense, love unexpected, action adventure, friends to lovers, reluctant allies, reformed rake, dangerous past

Book Description
Containing all three books in the Foxblood trilogy. A Brush with the Moon One incident can change your life. For Sophie, it was the day the fox attacked her. All Sophie ever wanted was a way out. Only a few weeks ago, she was a quiet art student with an overbearing mother and no higher dream than starting university and reuniting with her BFF, but destiny intervenes in the form of a fox bite. If being attacked by a rabid animal isn’t freaky enough, her new town has secrets. People are dying, and Sophie feels she is being watched. Then there’s the arrogant and annoyingly sexy Sebastian with his plummy accent and come-to-bed eyes creeping her out. She should stay well away, but then he does live in the spooky manor house, and curiosity is her middle name. Rise of the Hellion Something’s stalking Sophie—and it’s not just her boyfriend’s cute cousin! Pulled from a life of obscurity and chosen to take over from a dying goddess, Sophie is thrown into a world where the supernatural is normal and the humans oblivious. Without meaning to, Sophie is making enemies, and as corpses mount, she fears for the people she cares for, but when someone she loves is accused of the killings, Sophie is convinced it can’t be true and sets out to prove their innocence. Fall from Grace Girl or goddess? Sophie has a decision to make. With the supernatural world in a state of unrest and her feelings for Connor intensifying, Sophie’s life is out of control, and she needs to get it back. But no matter how hard she tries, her desire to do what is right is faltering. Life is complicated. Is the chance of happiness really worth destroying her future? One thing is certain. To realise her destiny, she must leave behind everything she loves. This book was written, produced, and edited in the UK, where some spelling, grammar, and word usage will vary from US English.

Pages : 148
Book Description
When home is anything but a haven … Detective Inspector Palmer yearns for a caseload of ordinary crimes—no monsters, no mages, and definitely no magic. Dark sorcery has left his city in bloody chaos, and Palmer is exhausted. But then Layla, one of the beauties from the notorious Hellion House, darkens his interrogation room door. Lovely Layla is more welcome in Palmer’s daydreams, where her obsession for silver bullets and sharp knives can be safely ignored. But now she brings news about his most-wanted villain—the mechanic responsible for sabotaging the Leopard and sending most of the airship’s crew to a fiery death. The evidence points to Palmer’s home town—a rough-and-ready hellhole he’d gratefully left behind. Now, with Layla at his side, he returns to his birthplace, and to the scene of a half-forgotten murder. All at once, his freedom, his mission, and Layla’s safety depend on solving the cold case. That’s no mean feat in a town full of crooks, drifters, and broken-down magicians, but DI Palmer always catches his culprit. Until now. Uncovering one deadly secret is sure to reveal others—including his own.
