  379 AD: Thracia has fallen to the Gothic horde... 
   
  With the ashes of Adrianople still swirling in the air, the Eastern Roman Empire is in turmoil. The emperor is dead, the throne lies empty and the remaining fragments of the army are few and scattered. Numerius Vitellius Pavo, now Tribunus of the XI Claudia, tries to hold his patchwork ranks together amidst the storm. One of the few legions to have survived the disaster at Adrianople, the Claudia do what they can to keep alive the dying flame of hope. 
   
  When word spreads of a new Eastern Emperor, those hopes rise. But the coming of this leader will stir the Gothic War to new heights. And it will cast Pavo headlong into the sights of the one responsible for the East's plight - a man mighty and seemingly untouchable, and one who will surely crush any who dares to challenge him. 
   
  From the ashes of Adrianople, new heroes will rise... with dark ghosts in close pursuit.

  Maisie has been in love with Cooper for years. 
  Not that she’s ever told him. 
  She didn’t say it when they were kids growing up in Thornapple Valley, and she hasn’t said it now that they’re adults. 
  Maisie is a rabbit shifter. She’s small, skittish, and a childhood trauma haunts her. She still hears those howls in the dark, flinches at growls, gets lost in the memory of a cold winter night when she was surrounded by vicious wolf shifters. 
  But not all wolves are monsters. Cooper, a wolf shifter himself, was the one who saved her that night. 
  Gentle, steady, kind—he’s always made her feel safe. Even so, Maisie’s fear runs deep, tangled in the instinct that says prey and predator don’t belong together. Even when her heart insists otherwise. 
  But she’s done running. If she wants her happily ever after, she has to fight for it. First, she must overcome her fear. Then she can finally tell Cooper the truth she’s kept buried for far too long. 
  — 
  Thornapple Valley is a shifter-friendly community. Its residents are either shifters themselves or they accept and protect shifters. There is safety in a town like this. Shifters can live their lives and be who they are without fear. It’s the perfect place to settle down. And even when things don’t go exactly as planned, love always finds a way. 
  Each book in this series is short and sweet with mild or no spice.

  "They lived in a kind of hieroglyphic world, where the real thing was never said or done or even thought, but only uttered by a set of arbitrary signs."
  
  Newland Archer is a man of the elite, a gentleman lawyer perfectly aligned with the rigid social codes of 1870s New York. His life is meticulously planned, beginning with his engagement to the beautiful, conventional May Welland. But when May's cousin, the scandalous Countess Ellen Olenska, returns from Europe seeking a divorce, Archer's world is upended. Drawn to Ellen's independence and intellectual fire, he begins to question the very foundations of the society that sustains him.
  
  The Invisible Chains of Convention: Wharton brilliantly portrays a world where "the tribal ritual" of social life is more powerful than any individual passion. As Archer and Ellen's forbidden attraction grows, the weight of family expectation and the subtle, unspoken threats of social exile begin to close in. It is a story where a dinner party can be as deadly as a duel, and a raised eyebrow can signal the end of a reputation.
  
  A Pulitzer Prize-Winning Masterpiece: The Age of Innocence is a lush, satirical, and ultimately heartbreaking exploration of the sacrifice required to belong. Wharton, an insider of the world she describes, uses her exquisite prose to dissect the hypocrisy and the hidden beauty of a vanished era. It remains the definitive novel of the American Gilded Age—a timeless study of the conflict between the heart's longing and the world's demands.
  
  Step behind the velvet curtain of Old New York. Purchase "The Age of Innocence" today and experience the elegance and the agony of a world bound by decorum.

  Riley St. Claire has always followed her own rules. When she discovers her current employer is not as law-abiding as she thought, she has to leave town in a hurry or end up buried with the dead guy she discovered. What she doesn’t expect is to find herself being picked up by a passing trader from another world. As the ruling King of Sarafin, Vox d’Rojah was expected to produce a son who would be joined in marriage with the first-born daughter of the King of Valdier. The problem was Vox had no intentions of having any sons, at least not in the near future. He was quite happy with the wide selection of females he had at his disposal. When he is captured by a ruthless Valdier royal and sold to a mining operation, the last thing he expected to find was his bride mate. Vox isn’t sure which would be easier: fighting another war with the Valdier or capturing and holding on to the human female who is unlike anyone he has ever encountered before. Now, Vox has to escape back to his world while fighting pirates, traders, and Riley! The King of Sarafin has met his match in Ms. Riley St. Claire from Earth. Now, he just needs to figure out a way to let her know he has chosen her as his Queen—and he has every intention of keeping her by his side forever.
