Book Description
Svagnar is the ferocious warrior jarl of Arkavic. To stop the neighbouring king from constantly attacking his country, he's formed an audacious plan: he will abduct his enemy's daughter and make her his wife, hoping that tying their countries together through marriage will end the war. But the last thing he intends is to become dangerously attracted to his stolen bride. Aster is the captain of the princess's guard. She is low-born, steadfast and fiercely loyal. But now, the princess is being sent away to be wed, and on the way they are surprised by a group of barbarian warriors from Arkavik. To save the princess from capture, Aster claims to be her and gets taken instead. The last thing she expects is to become a royal bride in a desperate bid to save a country. Caught between war and peace, lies and loyalty, duty and lust, the two find themselves dangerously drawn to each other. But in the chess game of war, the heart is always the first pawn to be sacrificed. This is a stand-alone, enemies-to-lovers, forced marriage romance set in the medieval fantasy world of Westmere and contains sexual content not suitable for adults. --- "A blend of Game of Thrones & Radiance (by Grace Draven)." Becca, Goodreads ★★★★★ "The world is is beautiful, you've got angst, you've got pining, you've got action, and the sex is hot as.I really adored this book." Emily, Amazon Review ★★★★★ "The lyrical narrative was an absolute joy to read. Was my first time reading a romance novel and if all romance novels are like this I should read more!" Grey, Goodreads ★★★★★ "With a bit of intrigue, a lot of chemistry and a bucket load of romance, this story was one I couldn't put down and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys romance." Jules, Amazon Review ★★★★★ "I love a good bodice-ripper and this absolutely qualifies. A traditional story line, told well, with compelling characters. I would definitely recommend this as a good, fun, sexy read." Amanda, Goodreads ★★★★★

Book Description
When Scotland Yard superintendent Duncan Kincaid takes Gemma, Kit, and Toby for a holiday visit to his family in Cheshire, Gemma is soon entranced with Nantwich's pretty buildings and the historic winding canal, and young Kit is instantly smitten with his cousin Lally. But their visit is marred by family tensions exacerbated by the unraveling of Duncan's sister Juliet's marriage. And tensions are brought to the breaking point on Christmas Eve with Juliet's discovery of a mummified infant's body interred in the wall of an old dairy barn—a tragedy hauntingly echoed by the recent drowning of Peter Llewellyn, a schoolmate of Lally's. Meanwhile, on her narrowboat, former social worker Annie Lebow is living a life of self-imposed isolation and preparing for a lonely Christmas, made more troubling by her meeting earlier in the day with the Wains, a traditional boating family whose case precipitated Annie's leaving her job. As the police make their inquiries into the infant's death, Kincaid discovers that life in the lovely market town of his childhood is far from idyllic and that the dreaming reaches of the Shropshire Union Canal hold dark and deadly secrets . . . secrets that may threaten everything and everyone he holds most dear.
