Book Description
"The murder rate in Miami was at an all-time high. Legend was showering the city with his pain. He was making Miami bleed the way that his heart bled for me...the way mine bled for him. Nothing could stand in the face of his wrath and, even in the midst of experiencing my own heartache, I could feel his pain. But what he didn’t know is that his fury was pushing me further away." In part 3 of this legendary love story, Shanecia reaches her breaking point after realizing that her involvement with Legend has brought her close to death way too many times and decides to return to Spelman as a single woman. Legend, who has not even attempted to imagine life without her since they became a couple, is torn and launches a horrific assault on the city of Miami in his effort to get rid of Mello and get Shanecia back. He is determined to stop at nothing to prove to her that by his side is where she needs to be and that he can keep her safe. But will his savage ways prove to be too much for her and only make her stray further away? After finding Danny with Alicia, Maliah has seemingly cured herself of the love that she still had for her children's father and dives into her relationship with Murk. One thing she's learned is that, although he is everything she thought she wanted, it's not easy being with a man who has learned to settle all of his problems by way of his trigger finger. A few surprises lead to them learning things about each other as they go through situations they've never gone through together before. Will they be able to stick it out or will Maliah's fear of letting go and allowing Murk to love her, the way a man should love his woman, push him away? Tanecia can't help the fact that she's falling for Darin, the man who has always loved her even though she barely loved herself. So, finally, she gives in and decides to give her heart to the man who should have had it from the beginning. But just as she gives in to her feelings for him, a surprise comes knocking at the door. A surprise in the form of a very pregnant, beautiful woman. With the birth of a new relationship being interrupted by the impending birth of Darin's first child, Tanecia is left to deal with her new feelings for him and she also has to come to terms with her grief for the child she lost while also adjusting to the presence of another woman. Will she be able to set her issues to the side to build a loving relationship with Darin or will she let her own issues destroy what they have before it gets a chance to really start?

Book Description
First in a sumptuous, female-led Arthurian Fantasy Romance trilogy When Anna Pendragon was born, Merlin prophesied: "Through all the ages, and in the hearts of men, you will be forgotten." Married at twelve, and a mother soon after, Anna - the famed King Arthur's sister - did not live a young life full of promise, myth, and legend. She bore three strong sons and delivered the kingdom of Orkney to her brother by way of her marriage. She did as she was asked, invisible and useful for her name, her status, her dowry, and her womb. Twenty years after she left her home, Anna returns to Carelon at Arthur's bidding, carrying the crown of her now-dead husband, Lot of Orkney. Past her prime and confined to the castle itself, she finds herself yet again a pawn in greater machinations and seemingly helpless to do anything about it. Anna must once again face the demons of her childhood: her sister Morgen, Elaine, and Morgause; Merlin and his scheming Avillion priests; and Bedevere, the man she once loved. To say nothing of new court visitors, like Lanceloch, or the trouble concerning her own sons. Carelon, and all of Braetan, is changing, though, and Anna must change along with it. New threats, inside and out, lurk in the shadows, and a strange power begins to awaken in her. As she learns to reconcile her dark gift, and struggles to keep the power to herself, she must bargain her own strength, and family, against her ambition and thirst for revenge.

Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
“Sheer entertainment… Bennett infuses wit and an arch sensibility into her prose… This is not mere froth, it is pure confection.” – New York Times Book Review “[A] pitch-perfect murder mystery… If The Crown were crossed with Miss Marple…, the result would probably be something like this charming whodunnit.” – Ruth Ware, author of One by One The bestselling first book in a highly original and delightfully clever crime series in which Queen Elizabeth II secretly solves crimes while carrying out her royal duties. It is the early spring of 2016 and Queen Elizabeth is at Windsor Castle in advance of her 90th birthday celebrations. But the preparations are interrupted by the shocking and untimely death of a guest in one of the Castle bedrooms. The scene leads some to think the young Russian pianist strangled himself, yet a badly tied knot leads MI5 to suspect foul play. When they begin to question the Household’s most loyal servants, Her Majesty knows they’re looking in the wrong place. For the Queen has been living an extraordinary double life ever since her teenage years as “Lilibet.” Away from the public eye and unbeknownst to her closest friends and advisers, she has the most brilliant skill for solving crimes. With help from her Assistant Private Secretary, Rozie Oshodi, a British Nigerian officer recently appointed to the Royal Horse Artillery, the Queen discreetly begins making inquiries. As she carries out her royal duties with her usual aplomb, no one in the Royal Household, the government, or the public knows that the resolute Elizabeth won’t hesitate to use her keen eye, quick mind, and steady nerve to bring a murderer to justice. SJ Bennett captures Queen Elizabeth’s voice with skill, nuance, wit, and genuine charm in this imaginative and engaging mystery that portrays Her Majesty as she’s rarely seen: kind yet worldly, decisive, shrewd, and, most important, a superb judge of character.
