June 1815. Joanna, Viscountess Norland arrives at her brother's country residence, Thornbury Park. Her notoriety and recent exploits on the war torn Continent precede her, and her presence in the quiet neighborhood causes quite a stir. At twenty-seven, Frederica Bertram is not only having to endure her mother's reminders that she's getting past her prime, she's also being pressured to encourage the attentions of the Viscountess's dull brother-in-law. Complications arise when a friend from Joanna's checkered past, Lord Peregrine, takes a fancy to Frederica's younger sister. Frederica and the Viscountess join forces to stop a potential scandal and discover they have more in common than anyone would suspect.The Adventures of Murdering MegIt's been five years since plantation owner Thomas Digges and his sons left Margaret Etherege for dead. Now a notorious pirate, Murdering Meg is ready to exact her revenge on her former master. And when a brigantine sets sail for England, with Digges's nubile daughter Alice and her dowry on board, Meg decides to relieve its captain of his valuable cargo.
GCLS and Rainbow Award Winner. Librarian Cassie Lewis finds her world turned upside down when she agrees to testify against her former shady landlord and he puts a hit on her in revenge.

There she meets Tarian, who makes a living painting fanciful landscapes and lives on the edge of Bourn Forest, enjoying her new life. Their worlds come together as both their pasts catch up to them. They have to fight both earthly and magical forces before they can settle into a life together in Bourn's Edge.
