One of the most beloved historical fiction novels of all time! Through A Glass Darkly sparkles with all of the extravagance and scandal of a grand and glorious era. As opulent and passionate as the 18th century it celebrates.

Peopled by a cast of unforgettable characters, here is the story of a great family ruled by a dowager of extraordinary power; a young woman coming of age, seeking love in the midst of a storm; her mother, the cruel and self-centered Diana; and of a man haunted by a secret that could turn all of their dreams to ashes...

Through a Glass Darkly is infused with intrigue, sweetened by romance, and awash in the black ink of betrayal. A sprawling escape into 18th century English nobility and one heck of an engaging romantic drama.

The Pursuit of Love & Love in a Cold Climate

1979

by Nancy Mitford

Nancy Mitford's most famous novels, The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate, offer a delightful satire of the British aristocracy during the 1920s and 1930s. These stories follow the amorous adventures of the Radletts, a family known for their exuberant and unconventional lifestyle, which Mitford closely modeled on her own family experiences.


Through the lens of romantic escapades and family dramas, Mitford skillfully critiques the snobbery and false values of the English country nobility. This classic work is a must-read for those who appreciate satirical sagas and timeless tales of love and society.

The Dragon and the George

Jim Eckert was a dragon. He hadn't planned it that way, but that's what happened when he set out to rescue his betrothed. Following her through an erratic astral-projection machine, Jim suddenly found himself in a cockeyed world - locked in the body of a talking dragon named Gorbash.

That wouldn't have been so bad if his beloved Angie were also a dragon. But in this magical land, that was not the case. Angie had somehow remained a very female human - or a george, as the dragons called any human. And Jim, no matter what anyone called him, was a dragon.

To make matters worse, Angie had been taken prisoner by an evil dragon and was held captive in the impenetrable Loathly Tower. So in this land where georges were edible and beasts were magical - where spells worked and logic didn't - Jim Eckert had a problem.

And he needed help, by george!

Arabella

1949

by Georgette Heyer

To Arabella Tallant, the eldest daughter of a penniless country clergyman, the invitation to stay with her London godmother was like the key to heaven. In addition to living in the glamorous city, Arabella might even find a suitable husband there. Armed with beauty, virtue, and a benevolent godmother, the impetuous but impoverished Arabella embarked on her first London season with her mother's wish in mind: snare a rich husband.

On her way to London, Arabella's carriage breaks down outside the hunting lodge of the wealthy and socially prominent Robert Beaumaris. Fate cast her in his path. Arabella's only fault is impetuosity, and her pride is stung when she overhears a remark from her arrogant host, who accused her of being another petty female after his wealth. The proud, headstrong ingenue made a most startling claim — she was an heiress! A pretense that deeply amuses the jaded Beau.

To counter her white lie, Beaumaris launches her into high society, thereby subjecting her to all kinds of amorous fortune hunters in London and other embarrassments. Suddenly, Arabella found herself the talk of the ton and pursued by some of the most eligible young men of the day. But only one caught Arabella's fancy: Beaumaris, the handsome and dedicated bachelor. She should know better than to allow herself to be provoked by nonpareil Beau. But would her deceitful charade destroy her one chance for true love?

Beaumaris, however, although a most artful matrimonial dodger, badly underestimated his seemingly naive adversary. When compassionate Arabella rescues such unfortunate creatures as a mistreated chimney sweep and a mixed-breed mongrel, she foists them upon Beaumaris, who finds he rather enjoys the role of rescuer and is soon given the opportunity to prove his worth in the person of Bertram Tallant, the also impetuous young brother of Arabella.

Luke Williams just wants the world to give him a break, so seeing yet another camera aimed at his face has him ready to pounce on the beauty behind the lens.

Dark Descent into Desire

Hiding his past behind a veneer of sophistication and mystique, billionaire Blake Sinclair is extremely handsome, and by his own admission, an ineligible bachelor who doesn’t do relationships. Romance for him is art and beauty. But sex is sex. And he needs lots of it. He doesn’t connect the two. He’s never witnessed love in its finer form, for his youth was crippled by a difficult upbringing. But no one knows that.

When he encounters Penelope Green at an art exhibition selling her work, he’s not only spellbound by her beauty, but by her art which speaks to his soul. It’s not just smoldering attraction that they share, but also difficult pasts. While her upbringing took place in a rundown estate caring for her troubled mother, Blake’s, although brought up in a picturesque village, was just as dark. He grew up around the windswept moors in a gothic castle with walls stained in secrets, and where his mother worked as a maid.

Leading her into a world of opulence, taste, and raw lust, Blake Sinclair with eyes that flit from moody to stormy blue, manages to seduce Penelope. Her entry into his bedroom, other than eliciting steamy passion, opens up a part of him hidden even from himself. He soon finds himself swimming in uncharted waters. Although he’s not new to addiction, this time it’s not just sex that’s got Sinclair in its tantalizing grip, but something deeper and more powerful. Penelope’s not only a hot temptress, but a kindred spirit, and even more profoundly, she knows what “dark” feels like.

When he learns that she too has secrets, Penelope becomes his obsession. Even if his need for control is constantly challenged by her feisty independence: a quality that not only feeds his sudden unhealthy need to possess her but also places a wedge between them.

Dylan Fox is a nefarious character that shadows this story. As the son of Lord William Fox, Blake’s late mother’s employer, Fox grew up terrorizing the young Blake. Believing that Blake stole from him, Dylan Fox, who runs a criminal empire, drags Blake into the center of a scandal involving the rich and powerful, a private island, and teenage girls. Blake Sinclair has one powerful weapon: a clear conscience. But he has to convince Penelope and the world around him first. Faced with criminal gangs, while working behind the scenes on a dangerous exposé involving big names, Blake flexes his considerable muscles to save Penelope and his reputation.
