À la Murder: The Couturière's Tale
‘May you gain your heart’s desire.’ Yvonne, Suzy, Jo, and Stephanie became friends over a shared affinity for misadventures, gluttony, the occasional book, and a lot of bickering. Although not entirely without intelligence or redeeming qualities, they displayed the usual giddy girlish interests in pretty things and fun, and had little else on their minds besides the blissful prospect of the upcoming Renaissance Ball and holidays. Nobody expected—least of all themselves—that these unprepossessing children would grow up to become the founders of a fashion empire or that they would fall into so many scandals along the way, in their public and private lives, with such far-reaching, som...
Of Irises Blue
Infidelity and disillusionment send Vivien fleeing to her childhood home where she has spent many a vivid, carefree summer. When she arrives in Montigney, she finds it is as glorious as her memories. But Montigney is also haunted by the past. As the dusk grows near and the shadows lengthen, Vivien is forced to confront the consequences of a chance encounter in Montigney seven summers ago.
Innocence
“Who am I, detective? A principal? An accomplice? An accessory? Or innocent?” A long time has passed since heiress Claire Leighton left the cocoon of her idyllic childhood. Yet the tendrils of the past still linger. Old sins, as they say, cast long shadows - and the innocent are as much in danger as the guilty of being ensnared in the tangled web of love, greed, lies, wickedness, and murder.
Envy
Isabeau’s life has not been all smooth sailing but she has survived and thrived, rising to the pinnacles of New York society. Isabeau is beautiful, intelligent, poised, widely coveted and envied. When she meets golden boy Jacob Wakefield, the habits of a lifetime cannot prevent her beguilement. Fate, however, seems to enjoy toying with Isabeau. Fate, and Isabeau’s nemesis - sweet, adored, privileged, unattainable Manon Alexander, whom Jacob loves. If it wasn’t for Manon... Except life, as Isabeau finds out, is rarely so simple or accommodating...
The Lady of the Unicorn
When Lily stumbles across the ambitious young artist Andrien Charron at a grand masquerade ball at the Sylvain estate, she is intrigued by the hunger burning in his gaze. Regardless of their shared appreciation for the articulation of beauty, of the richness of the visible world, regardless that he makes something warm bloom inside her heart, she should have stepped back and turned away. She should not have led him to the hedge maze. She should not have risked that small lie. Lies are double-edged weapons. They pave the way for enchanted evenings—and perhaps also the fulfilment of tragic destinies.
The Ormond Girl
‘The ancient Greeks believed that humankind was once so perfect that the gods grew jealous and split each person into two, so that each would have to spend eternity searching for their other half.’ Neither the Ormond girl nor the earl’s reprobate son entertained such sentimental clap-trap. Miss Ormond was too sensible and Rochefort had far too many other pleasurable diversions to pursue. But when Rochefort tried to steal a kiss from the Ormond girl in a country lane, he set in motion a chain of events that tested even the will of the gods.
The Stroke of Midnight
Lucia and Charley are the products of Old New York’s ruling elite. Prestige. Wealth. Tradition. Scandal. No one is immune. Not Charley, reckless, blithe courtier of trouble, heiress to the Montrose fortune, who has been conspicuously absent for over a year without a word of truth or explanation. Nor Lucia, as docile a daughter as any parent could wish for, carrying secrets of her own, slowly awakening to a yearning for things beyond obeisance to the established order, as deeply ingrained as Old New York’s fascination for, and fear of, scandal. Sailing into the summer of 1929, on the eve of the Black Tuesday Wall Street Crash and a world on the brink of change, Charley and Lucia must keep...

The West Wing Chamber
Something is not quite right about Merleton Court. Beneath the veneer of warm welcome from the society ladies and the flattering attentions of the charming young gentlemen, beneath the uneasy whispers of the servants and the gossiping tongues of the villagers, something dark lurks about the forbidding ancestral home of the Deverneys and prowls its lonely grounds and passageways. What shameful secrets lie hidden in the Deverneys’ past and the beautiful, mysterious chamber in the West Wing which still exerts such an irresistible allure? Poor lovely, feted Lady Seraphine, the lost heiress of the Deverneys, found at last and returned home to Merleton Court. But perhaps it had always been too late to escape her fate...
The Princess & the Gargoyle
‘Honour is purchased by the deeds we do.’ On the morning of the wedding of Princess Beatrice of the kingdom of Trasimene to the south of the brooding shadow of the Black Mountain, news was brought to the royal court that the feared one-eyed beast had broken free of his imprisonment and was rampaging through the land towards Trasimene. The beast was coming for Princess Beatrice, it was said, to avenge the loss of his right eye and the jewel she had stolen three years ago from the lair of the beasts in the Black Mountain. But not all is as it seems in this fairy tale adventure about friendship and kindness, courage and honour, and the battles won by things other than superior numbers and might. Can one recalcitrant princess save the kingdom of Trasimene from the evil at its gates?
