Book Description
If there is one thing I know, kisses have a tendency to alter things irrevocably. Abandoned at the family's country estate by her employer, Minerva Stone realizes that she concerns harbored about her position with Mrs. Charlotte Entwhistle-Graves were well founded. Dodging the unwanted advances of a teenage lothario and his conniving brother as she tries to care for their heartbroken younger sister, Minerva finds herself under the dubious protection of the Duke of Hargrieve, the Graves family patriarch. The Mad Duke. The Murderous Duke. Following the tragic murders of his father and brothers when he was a child, and his own grievous injury that left him with no memory of the event, Barrett Graves knows what the world thinks of him. The rumors and scandal that follow him everywhere he goes are reason enough to stay hidden away at Griffingate. When Charlotte, her brood of children, and their intriguing governess descend on his quiet, isolated world, Barrett finds himself in the middle of plots, schemes, and a confidence game of epic proportion-things that always seem to follow in Charlotte's wake. But Minerva Stone is something altogether different. Compelling. Beautiful. Intelligent. He's drawn to her as he has never been drawn to anyone else. She occupies his every waking moment and invades his dreams to the point that he wonders if he isn't a little mad after all. But mad or not, he wants her. And if he can uncover Charlotte's ultimate plan and foil it, if he can save Minerva from the clutches of his young but licentious cousins, if he can keep Charlotte's daughter safe from whatever wickedness her mother intends-then he means to make Minerva not just his magnificent obsession... but his bride. The Hellion Club A Rogue to Remember Barefoot in Hyde Park Making Spirits Bright (Novella) What Happens in Piccadilly Sleepless in Southampton When an Earl Loves a Governess All I want for Christmas (Novella) The Duke's Magnificent Obsession The Governess Diaries

Book Description
As she did in her critically acclaimed The Last Days of the Romanovs, Helen Rappaport brings a compelling documentary feel to the story of this royal marriage and of the queen's obsessive love for her husband – a story that began as fairy tale and ended in tragedy. After the untimely death of Prince Albert, the queen and her nation were plunged into a state of grief so profound that this one event would dramatically alter the shape of the British monarchy. For Britain had not just lost a prince: during his twenty year marriage to Queen Victoria, Prince Albert had increasingly performed the function of King in all but name. The outpouring of grief after Albert's death was so extreme, that its like would not be seen again until the death of Princess Diana 136 years later. Drawing on many letters, diaries and memoirs from the Royal Archives and other neglected sources, as well as the newspapers of the day, Rappaport offers a new perspective on this compelling historical psychodrama--the crucial final months of the prince's life and the first long, dark ten years of the Queen's retreat from public view. She draws a portrait of a queen obsessed with her living husband and – after his death – with his enduring place in history. Magnificent Obsession will also throw new light on the true nature of the prince's chronic physical condition, overturning for good the 150-year old myth that he died of typhoid fever.

Book Description
That kiss would never be enough. And if he let it continue, it would become something else altogether-something his honor could never permit. Welcome to book 5 in the bestselling series The Hellion Club by USA Today Bestselling author Chasity Bowlin! Widower Simon Montclair, Earl of Eastlington, has been battling more than his guilt over the questionable death of his late wife. Her mother, Mercy Milthorpe, had been a godsend to him in the beginning as she'd provided the help he needed to raise his young daughter. But over time, Simon came to realize that Mercy was poisoning Emily against him for reasons that he could not fathom. Desperate for help, he turns to the Darrow School and the lovely Miss Vivienne Alcott for aid. Vivienne instantly falls in love with Emily, a child so painfully haunted by her mother's death and so tormented by the insidious whispers of her grandmother that she has become like a ghost herself. But her desire to help Emily is complicated by her attraction Simon. The longer Vivienne remains at the isolated country estate, Edgecomb Manor, the more she realizes just how ruthless Mercy Milthorpe is-and how hopeless she is to resist the earl. Simon and Vivienne must determine whether or not they can join forces to save Emily without giving in to their feelings for one another. But Mercy realizes that, with Vivienne's presence, it will take far more than just alienating Emily from her father to secure Mercy's own position. And the depths she sinks to will shock them all...
