A lady shouldn't attempt to infiltrate a military fort...unless she is a widow wearing a mobcap. When the Duke of Sargen is snatched away before her eyes, Judith knows she must follow him into Pendennis Castle before he is stripped of his Gift and his memory. After all, she hasn't had a chance to tell the man that she loves him yet. But when she finds him imprisoned, Dacian has already forgotten her. Worse, his captor refuses to believe Judith's testimony in the duke's defence and sets her a task to prove her Truth Discernment: discover who killed a soldier found dead on the Cornwall seashore. The body washed up near Judith's new domain: a tidal island with a rundown castle, haunted cellars, and massive butler who is most definitely hiding something. Judith must call on all her resourcefulness-and her most trusted companions-to find the truth before the week is up...or Dacian could be lost to her forever. How does one jailbreak a duke if he can't even remember his own name? Does a killer lurk in Judith's own castle? And does Lanyon Isle have any drinking chocolate?
A lady shouldn't be seen to incite a duel... but Judith wasn't even there when it happened. Lady Avely doesn't know what infuriates her more: that someone used her image to provoke the Duke of Sargen into killing a man, or that the duke actually believed it was her trysting in the maze that night.Now she and the duke must concoct their own subterfuge to shake out the culprit. Otherwise, Dacian might be arrested for murder, or worse, the shadowy guardians of the Musing might inflict their own cruel punishment for the misuse of his Gift. Judith will need her most respectable mobcap, and unfortunately, the duke will need a false moustache. With Judith's ability to detect lies and Dacian's now carefully contained power, they set out to uncover the truth - but their own hearts make them easy to manipulate. Facing a master of deception, as well as the duke's renewed determination to win her, Judith will need a stiff drink of chocolate and the help of her cheerful, tiny vampiri companion before she can find her way out of the deadly tangle...Can Judith and Dacian unmask the killer before more blood is shed? And how many different ways can one disguise a duke? The Matronly Misadventures feature a mid-life heroine in a slow-burn, second-chance romance (with a duke who has waited long enough), set in a magical version of Regency England.

Beware the gift left too close to the sea... Cold, isolated, and almost a thing of the sea herself, Carys keeps the seashore. It's a simple calling: collect the seaweed along the rocky shore every day before the selkies come out to play, or pay the consequences. She knows the workings of the laws between the sea and the shore, and she collects payment from the sea itself. Issues of King and country barely touch that moving, foamy border: only saltwater, selkies, and seaweed exist by the rocky shore. Every day is the same for Carys; a cold continuity of service. Then a boy washes up in one of Cary's tide-pools: injured, amnesiac, and bearing with him a token of her past without the memories to accompany it. Now she will need to keep him safe from enemies both at land and at sea; but the land is a mystery to her, and as for the sea--no one knows better than Carys that a single slip of the foot means death by the rocky shore. Or that for every gift given by the selkies, there must be payment in one form or another...
