Book Description
A free-spirited princess determined to challenge the feminine standards of her time. An earl who would rather hunt murderers than snag a debutante. Princess Mary Armstrong-Leeds enjoys her status as a lady in Boston’s elite society. But she enjoys her job as an apprentice lady detective even more. When a prominent member of her archery club is found murdered, who better to take on the case than Mary herself? Lord Cannington, Bennet Brown, may be an earl and a member of Boston's elite, but he revels in his new role as an apprentice for the prestigious society detective, The Right Honorable The Viscount Henry DeHavillend. If only he didn’t have to compete for top spot with Henry’s sister-in-law, Princess Mary. Henry orders the two competitors-turned-allies to work together on their latest case. They must find a murderer, in a race against time, and in a world that still considers the unconventional scandalous. Will these budding detectives solve their case and save the day, or will lives be lost, reputations ruined and hearts broken in the process? This is a stand-alone story in the Boston Heiresses series, and the first of three books featuring Princess Mary and her faithful earl. Mary is an independent soul who flouts every restriction placed on women in the 1890s—and she does it, with style. If you enjoy clean and wholesome action-adventure mystery romance set in the Victorian-era, you'll love this series by historical romance author, Ava Rose. Boston Heiresses series: Not Quite a Duchess (Anna and Pen) Not Quite a Baroness (Libby and Henry) Not Quite a Lady (Sarah and Tam) Not Quite a Princess (Mary and Bennet - part 1) Not Quite a Detective (Mary and Bennet - part 2) Not Quite a Bride (Mary and Bennet -part 3)

Pages : 42
Book Description
Princess Petal is NOT what you would expect the 'perfect' princess to be. In fact, she is quite the opposite. Her princess dresses are torn and scruffy, she wears an old woolly hat instead of a golden crown and she is very (very) loud. So when Princess Petal meets a fire-breathing dragon while out hiking in the forest, both are in for a bit of a shock! An enchanting tale about friendship, diversity, acceptance and being exactly who we are meant to be. The moral behind this story is imperative yet simple: we are all different and that's okay, making judgements and assumptions about people is not okay, all genders should be treated equally. Also included are Discussion Questions for parents, caregivers and educators.

Book Description
Princess and heir to the throne of Thorvaldor, Nalia has led a privileged life at court. But everything changes when she learns, just after her sixteenth birthday, that she is a false princess, a stand-in for the real Nalia, who has been hidden away for her protection. Cast out with little more than the clothes on her back, the girl now called Sinda must leave behind the city, her best friend, Kiernan, and the only life she's ever known. Sent to live with her only surviving relative—a cold, scornful woman with little patience for her newfound niece—Sinda proves inept at even the simplest tasks. Then she discovers that magic runs through her veins—long-suppressed, dangerous magic that she must learn to control—and she realizes that she will never learn to be just a simple village girl. Sinda returns to the city to seek answers. Instead, she rediscovers the boy who refused to forsake her, and uncovers a secret that could change the course of Thorvaldor's history forever. An intricately plotted and completely satisfying adventure, The False Princess is both an engaging tale in the tradition of great fantasy novels and a story never before told that will enchant—and surprise—its readers.
