Book Description
Grab the first 3 books in the bestselling Isabella Hush Series at a terrific price! BOOK 1: Rune Thief: She just picked the wrong pocket. Now, she's on the bad side of a dark sorcerer. Isabella just botched the heist that was supposed to be her Hail Mary chance to escape the clutches of her gangster ex and his thugs. Stranded in a dark alley behind a seedy bar, she finds a stranger dying at her feet. She doesn't know he's a dark sorcerer. Or that the rune she pinched from his pocket has powerful, coveted magic. Now, marked by the sorcerer and hunted by a fae assassin, Isabella is thrown into a secret supernatural underworld, where all the creatures of her nightmares are real. Ripped from her normal life and tossed into a realm known as the Shadow Bazaar where an arrogant immortal man reigns supreme, she'll need all her wit and skill just to survive. Because the sorcerer she crossed and the fae hunting her are far worse than the violent ex she's running from. And they want more than just to get the rune back… BOOK 2: Bone Hunter: Isabella unwittingly asked for a favor from a dark fae master, and now he's calling in the chips. If she refuses to repay the debt, she'll lose the only thing standing between her and a violent ex out for her head. If she agrees, she'll have to face a seethe of blood-thirsty vampires. BOOK 3: Stone Goddess: The stink of brimstone still clings to Isabella's skin after her escape from Hell. Fortunately, she brought an enchanted stone back that can wrestle her out from beneath Scottie's thumb. She'll just have to barter with a few dangerous immortals. If you're a fan of Jim Butcher and Ilona Andrews, you will love this thrilling urban fantasy adventure with a hint of slow burn romance and lots of action.

Book Description
One woman’s journey to self-discovery in the Gilded Age could destroy everything she’s ever known. “May's historical fiction picks apart the delicate facade of American gentility in upper-class, well-heeled families on the wild West Coast at the end of the nineteenth century.” - Lisa Lickel, author and blogger, Living our Faith Out Loud Vivian, the daughter, for whom the last decade of the 19th century leads her down a dark path of uncovering family lies to create a brighter future for herself. Jake, the son and heir, whose search for a father figure results in a journey of sin and redemption. Larissa, the family matriarch, whose obsession with Nob Hill's rigid social codes hides the shameful secrets of her past. In this 4-book box set: Book 1: The Specter: Vivian Alderdice is not your typical Gilded Age debutante. In the midst of her glamorous life of parties and balls, her grandmother dies. A woman shows up at the funeral claiming the woman she knew was not Penelope Alderdice, Nob Hill socialite and wife of the city’s biggest shipping tycoon but Grace Carlyle, an artist in search of adventure in a small coastal town named Waxwood. Is the intruder a crank or, as Vivian’s mother claims, “confused”? Or is she telling the truth? Vivian’s determination to find out takes her into the life of the woman she thought she knew, uncovering family lies kept hidden for over forty years. Book 2: False Fathers: At nineteen, Vivian’s brother Jake has a huge burden on his shoulders. His mother expects him to take his place as the new head of the family, but Jake hardly has the qualities of a patriarch. When the family goes to Waxwood for the summer, Jake befriends an older, illusive man prepared to teach him all he needs to know about Gilded Age manhood. But is his mentor all he claims to be? Or is he a wolf in sheep’s clothing? Will Jake discover the true meaning of Gilded Age masculinity or will he redefine it? Book 3: Pathfinding Women: Vivian Alderdice is now twenty-six, unmarried, and has no prospective suitors. Her brother’s tragic plight the year before left the family on shaky ground in Nob Hill society. Their social position depends on Vivian capturing the heart of a wealthy Canadian bachelor determined to become a member of their exclusive society. But to win him, she and her mother must spend the summer in Waxwood. When a young man she meets on the train brings skeletons of the past out of the closet, Vivian finds herself torn between fulfilling her social obligations or embarking on a journey to uncover more family lies. Will Vivian’s summer unravel truths that might destroy the Alderdices forever? Or will she unearth a more authentic version of herself as the new century approaches? Book 4: Dandelions: For Vivian Alderdice, the twentieth century begins with a new start. Now a working woman and progressive reformer, she's forsaken the elegance of Nob Hill for the more modest Waxwood. She’s laid Penelope Alderdice’s specter to rest at last. But Vivian’s peaceful existence is thrown into turmoil when the man who ruined her brother’s life appears like another specter she must exorcise. At first, Vivian hates him with a passion. But when she sees how his own undiscovered past has destroyed him, leaving him helpless in the hands of a cousin who hates him worse than she does, she finds herself wanting to help. Is it his journey Vivian will discover in the dark forest of guilt and betrayal or her own? Come dive into this series that reveals the destiny of one woman during one of America’s most turbulent times today!
