Book Description
A Victorian finishing school where snooty dukes' daughters are tamed... Born on the wrong side of the blanket, Sally switches places with her half-sister to sneak her way into a rigorous finishing school meant only for highborn young ladies. The eighteen-year-old beauty pictures herself drinking tea with her pinkie stuck out whilst husband-hunting in high society. Lady Savannah's eagerness to swap places with a mere housemaid like Sally should have served as fair warning. And yet the harsh realities of school discipline come as a shock. New headmaster Gerard believes in the power of domestic discipline to transform spoiled young ladies into proper young wives. The new girl needs strict correction, but he's eager to prove himself to her influential father. That spirited hussy will be whipped into shape as a marriageable young lady if it's the last thing he ever does. At this school, both Sally and Gerard have a lot to learn. And they'd better learn it fast-- before they lose their hearts. This full-length Victorian historical romance novel includes a stern headmaster with a firm hand, a spunky maid who transforms herself into a lady, domestic discipline and school discipline scenes, and hissable villains including the mean-girl bullies you'd expect. Note: This is a finishing school for Victorian ladies who are guilty of bad behavior by the strict standards of the day. All characters are age 18 or older. If domestic discipline scenes for pleasure or punishment trigger you, please choose a different book.

His partner Lydia has mysteriously lost her magical power, while his student Stella’s is just as inexplicably growing. His friend Gil is contemplating drastic measures to atone for family crimes.

To help their tutor, Allen’s students will need to overcome the greatest defenses that nature and human ingenuity can create without him—and they’ll need to work fast.

Book Description
In the course of one disastrous meeting, Allen went from being hailed as his hometown’s savior to a fugitive from his own kingdom’s aristocracy. Even the brilliant tutor never saw that coming—although his partner Lydia did, if her well-packed suitcase is anything to go by. Finally making good on years of threats, she whisks him away to the city of water, where they can escape their homeland in style. But the renowned tourist destination is currently the capital of an enemy nation, and Allen’s friends have more planned for his trip than lying low and taking in the sights. Conspiracy lurks behind scenic canals and historic buildings as rival factions vie to prolong the war or conclude peace, and the specter of a more sinister power moves among them. Even working together, Allen and Lydia may finally have met their match.

Book Description
Mere days remain until the church’s designs on the city of water reach fruition. With no allied army on the way, Allen and Lydia prepare to fight alone against an array of deadly foes: a vampire who nearly killed them once before, a master of taboo sorcery, a lethal swordswoman, and two noblemen who hold the city in their grip. Behind them all looms the enigmatic Saint, who always seems to stay a step ahead of her opponents. Even victory on the battlefield may prove meaningless if Allen fails to unravel her schemes. But just when the odds seem insurmountable, the cavalry arrives in the form of Allen’s young students. Fresh from storming an impregnable fortress, the girls can’t wait to prove their worth and save their tutor. But how much difference can they make in this clash of legends? And can Allen bear to send them into battle, even with his own life on the line?

Book Description
What's a duke to do, when the girl who's perfectly wrong becomes the woman he can't live without? Griffin York, the Duke of Halford, has no desire to wed this season—or any season—but his diabolical mother abducts him to "Spinster Cove" and insists he select a bride from the ladies in residence. Griff decides to teach her a lesson that will end the marriage debate forever. He chooses the serving girl. Overworked and struggling, Pauline Simms doesn't dream about dukes. All she wants is to hang up her barmaid apron and open a bookshop. That dream becomes a possibility when an arrogant, sinfully attractive duke offers her a small fortune for a week's employment. Her duties are simple: submit to his mother's "duchess training"… and fail miserably. But in London, Pauline isn't a miserable failure. She's a brave, quick-witted, beguiling failure—a woman who ignites Griff's desire and soothes the darkness in his soul. Keeping Pauline by his side won't be easy. Even if Society could accept a serving girl duchess—can a roguish duke convince a serving girl to trust him with her heart?

Book Description
The award-winning author of The Lie Tree “has created a distinctly imaginative world full of engaging characters, robust humor, and true suspense” (School Library Journal, starred review). Everybody knew that books were dangerous. Read the wrong book, it was said, and the words crawled around your brain on black legs and drove you mad, wicked mad. Mosca Mye’s father insisted on teaching her to read—even in a world where books are dangerous, regulated things. Eight years later, Quillam Mye died, leaving behind an orphaned daughter with an inauspicious name and an all-consuming hunger for words. Trapped for years in the care of her cruel uncle and aunt, Mosca leaps at the opportunity for escape, though it comes in the form of sneaky swindler Eponymous Clent. As she travels the land with Clent and her pet goose, Mosca begins to discover complicated truths about the world she inhabits and the power of words. “Intricate plotting, well-developed and fascinating characters, delicious humor, and exquisite wordcraft envelop readers fully into this richly imagined world.” ?The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review) “Hardinge’s stylish way with prose gives her sprawling debut fantasy a literate yet often silly tone that calls to mind Monty Python.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Mosca’s ferocity and authentic inner turmoil [are] both reminiscent of Philip Pullman’s Lyra Belacqua.” ?Booklist “Incredibly well written.” ?The Seattle Times
