  An innocent contest becomes the ultimate challenge. 
   
   
   
  Lady Minerva Malbury has never lost a game of chess, and if she wants to avoid marriage, it's a streak she'll have to keep alive. Everyone knows the marriage mart is a game, but no one expects this one: the first gentleman to defeat Lady Minerva in a game of chess wins her hand. 
   
   
   
  His best friend's sister was all, Anthony MacMillian, Lord Drake, could think about most days. Since her season debut, four years ago, he's had to endure countless games of chess that threated his fortitude to remain in the wings. 
   
   
   
  With a threat of banishment, from the Head of the Foreign Office, challenging Minerva to a game of chess was his only option if he wished to remain on English soil. 
   
   
   
  But if he wins, he'll be denying Minerva the family she's always wanted, and if he looses he'll never have the only woman he's ever loved. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  VOYAGE TO THE LAST FRONTIER...
  The first book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.
  They were transported from 1780s' England, packed like cattle in cargo compartments: scammers and prostitutes, thieves and murderers — doomed to build His Majesty's new colony in Captain Cook's anchorage in Botany Bay.
  It was a cruel fate even for the toughest of individuals but especially for 15-year-old Jenny Taggart, who was sentenced to lifelong exile for a crime she did not commit. Will there be a future for her in this unknown country, or will she succumb to a rough and brutal life?
  Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later — ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy — they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.

  Robin Wildwood is settling into her new role as Head Witch… kind of. At least her squirrel familiar, Tansy, is enjoying their return to her childhood home of Wildwood Heath. Between lectures from her grandmother's ghost and the pressure to live up to her family's high expectations, Robin hopes for some light relief when she's invited to attend a retirement party with the local Sky Hopper team - especially when it gives her an excuse to spend time with Harvey, her old crush and the current team captain. But when the party's host chokes to death unexpectedly, the blame lands on none other than Harvey himself. 
  Robin is keen to prove Harvey's innocence, but defending her would-be boyfriend from a murder accusation is tricky when her over-achieving older brother happens to be the head of the local police force and the person with the power to decide Harvey's fate. If they lose their captain, the Sky Hopper team will have to hang up their broomsticks for good, but the world of professional magical sports is as scheming as any of the covens and everyone seems to have secrets. 
  Can Robin navigate this bumpy flight and catch the real killer before Harvey finds himself behind bars?
