Book Description
Returning to the dark and glamorous 19th century world of her New York Times instant bestseller, The Gilded Wolves, Roshani Chokshi dazzles us with the final riveting tale as full of mystery and danger as ever in The Bronzed Beasts. After Séverin's seeming betrayal, the crew is fractured. Armed with only a handful of hints, Enrique, Laila, Hypnos and Zofia must find their way through the snarled, haunted waterways of Venice, Italy to locate Séverin. Meanwhile, Séverin must balance the deranged whims of the Patriarch of the Fallen House and discover the location of a temple beneath a plague island where the Divine Lyre can be played and all that he desires will come to pass. With only ten days until Laila expires, the crew will face plague pits and deadly masquerades, unearthly songs and the shining steps of a temple whose powers might offer divinity itself...but at a price they may not be willing to pay.

Book Description
Playboy film producer Elliott Regan has a reputation for breaking hearts. When he messes with the wrong girl, he’s exiled from Hollywood and sent to the Appalachian Mountains to supervise a low-budget film. At least he’ll be able to shift into his secret bear form more regularly if he’s stuck in the woods. He’s expecting that he’ll need to keep first-time director Laila Marks in line, but she doesn’t need anyone to show her the ropes. She can tell immediately that Elliott is a shifter, and she’s not about to let a bossy bear make trouble on her set. Laila Marks grew up around shifters, and she knows all about alpha bears. She’s already on thin ice with this movie: as a female, minority director, she can’t afford to waste any chances to make a name for herself in the film world. When Elliott shows up, she knows he’ll be trouble…if only because the big, sexy producer interferes with her concentration. But she vowed to never get involved with a bear shifter. She’s seen up close what happens when a good bear goes bad, and she can’t take the risk of losing the career she’s worked for her whole life. But there’s a threat lurking that neither Elliott nor Laila can see. Elliott has no idea that he’s a shifter prince, exiled from his home when his royal family was shattered. A powerful clan is trying to keep him from retaking his throne, and they’ll target the person who matters to him the most: his fated mate. The Alpha Bear Princes series delivers scorching-hot tales of fated romance featuring strong, curvy women and the secret shifter princes who love them. Each book has a guaranteed happily-ever-after for the secret princes and their fated mates. The series can be read in any order, but it’s most fun to read them like this: · Prince Hudson · Prince Samuel · Prince Elliott · Prince Maxwell Meet your favorite Alpha Bear Prince today!

Book Description
The cultural revolution of the long 1960s (1960-1975) brought in one of the greatest cultural shifts the world has known. Music, dress, moral ideas, social manners, and political attitudes were turned upside down. The war generation hardly knew what motivated the post-war generation. Across Western Society a social fissure opened. The leaders of the revolution were twenty-year-olds (‘Don’t trust anyone under 30) mostly from an educated middle-class background. Counterculture Dreams follows the lives of a group of young people in Sydney who navigate the changes, some grasping the changes, others resisting and even condemning them, and still others making disastrous choices. The story centers on Danny Williamson and his younger sister, Angela. Danny ends school, innocent of the traps in society that others, including Angela, see. He forms a relationship with clever Cathy Dunn who clings to her Catholic traditions. He begins university in 1963 with Cathy, though at different universities. Meeting outlandish counterculture leader, Ronnie Newell, whose audacity impresses him, disturbs his relationship with Cathy. Not fully aware of the influences around Ronnie and his crowd he gradually drifts away from Cathy. He does not see where he is heading, despite Angela’s and Cathy’s warnings. All the while Angela plays a mysterious game with Danny’s best friend, Max Gallagher. But is it a game? Nobody is sure until Prime Minister Robert Menzies announces a national service scheme to meet the threat of communism taking over Southeast Asia, beginning with Vietnam. Danny and Max are eligible for the call-up. Gerda van den Donker, introduced in TIMES OF DISTRESS and with a bigger role in IN THIS VALE OF TEARS reappears. Jannie de Kam, also introduced in IN THIS VALE OF TEARS, reappears in close company with Gerda van den Donker. The Sixties series will consist of eight connected but stand-alone stories. The themes of the ‘Goddess’, neo-paganism, and Gnosticism are threads through the stories. The historical, political, and ideological background is the cultural revolution of the long 1960s and the Second Vatican Council. The author who lived through those times recreates its atmosphere. Book 1 Times of Distress Book 2 In this Vale of Tears Book 3 Counterculture Dreams Book 4 The Counterculture Goddess (2025) Book 5 Love in the Counterculture (2025) Book 6 Dreams to Nightmare (2026) Book 7 The Castle of Heavenly Bliss Book 8 A Sense of Loss due 2026

Named a “Must-Read” by Town & Country * Elite Daily * InStyle “The love child of Gossip Girl and Crazy Rich Asians, plus the social climbing of a Gatsby party.” —Refinery29 In the tradition of The Emperor’s Children and The House of Mirth, the forgotten granddaughter of one of New York’s wealthiest men is reunited with her family just as she comes of age—and once she’s had a glimpse of their glittering world, she refuses to let it go without a fight. When Laila Lawrence becomes an orphan at twenty-three, the sudden loss unexpectedly introduces her to three glamorous cousins from New York who show up unannounced at her mother’s funeral. The three siblings are scions of the wealthy family from which Laila’s father had been estranged long before his own untimely demise ten years before. Two years later, Laila has left behind her quiet life in Grosse Point, Michigan to move to New York City, landing her smack in the middle of her cousins’ decadent world. As the truth about why Laila’s parents became estranged from the family patriarch becomes clear, Laila grows ever more resolved to claim what’s rightfully hers. Caught between longing for the love of her family and her relentless pursuit of the lifestyle she feels she was unfairly denied, Laila finds herself reawakening a long dead family scandal—not to mention setting off several new ones—as she becomes further enmeshed in the lives and love affairs of her cousins. But will Laila ever, truly, belong in their world? Sly and sexy, She Regrets Nothing is a sharply observed and utterly seductive tale about family, fortune, and fate—and the dark side of wealth.
