  On Christmas Eve seventeen years ago, Morgan Winter found her parents’ brutally murdered bodies in a Brooklyn basement.

  Trapped between past nightmares and present danger, she hires Pete Montgomery, the former NYPD detective who once promised years ago to find her parents’ killer. With nothing more than an old case file and crime scene photos, Monty enlists the specialized skills of his son, Lane, a photojournalist who performs covert image analysis for the CIA. In a cruel twist of fate, they expose the devastating secrets of the dark past, only to discover that while the dead may be buried, danger lives on . . .

  Lady Georgina Lang returns to The Castle from her father’s funeral to wonder what the future holds for her.
  	Because her father had always longed for a son to succeed him, he had brought her up and educated her exactly as if she was a boy. She dressed as a boy and, although she had been christened Georgina, he liked calling her George.
  	She was completely alone in the huge castle, which was now inherited by the new Earl of Langfield, a distant cousin who had been difficult to trace.
  	Alister, however, had never, in his wildest dreams, expected to become the eleventh Earl of Langfield.
  	He had left England in a fury because, having been pressed into marrying a very suitable young woman chosen by his family, he had run away to be free of her.  When she died, he had sworn that he would never marry again as he disliked all women especially those who argued and were determined to have their own way.
  	 He finds his cousin Georgina at The Castle and she shows him the vast estate, the farms, the villages and The Castle itself, all of which now belongs to him.
  	He also learns that, as he is the Head of the Family, traditionally they rely on him entirely for financial support.
  	Georgina has already been warned by her aunt that on no account is she to wear men’s clothes in front of Alister and always to be soft, sweet and gentle in his company. And she has to persuade him as a weak woman to realise his position as the Earl of Langfield.
  	How a newspaper article describing The Castle and its valuable contents brings a tiresome neighbour to the Castle.
  	How the Earl, because she is un-chaperoned makes Georgina go to the Dower House.
  	How the article attracts some ferocious burglars to The Castle.
  	How Georgina saves the Earl’s life and unexpectedly finds love and happiness is all told is this unusual story by BARBARA CARTLAND.

  An unexpected letter from an old friend, His Royal Highness Prince Kraus of Oldessa, to the Duke of Norlington contains a surprise that could change the lives of the young Duke and his ravishing sister, Lady Latasha, forever.
  
  Happily living on the Norlington family estate, quietly content amongst the lovely gardens and beauty of the English countryside, both siblings are astonished to learn that the Prince is seeking the Duke’s consent for his brother, Prince Stefan, to ask for Latasha’s hand in marriage. 
  
  Appalled at the thought of marrying a man she has never met, Latasha quickly realises that this is a political alliance that would benefit Prince Kraus, regardless of her feelings. Beautiful and intelligent, Latasha understands her main charm for him is her blood link to the Royal family, and the British protection such a marriage would afford his small principality from a Russian takeover. 
  
  Whilst appreciating the severity of the situation in the Balkans, Latasha quickly makes it clear that she intends only to marry for love. Defiant and headstrong, she is horrified when she realises that Queen Victoria is happy to give the match her blessing. 
  
  But can she really sacrifice her own future happiness to secure the safety of others?  Torn between patriotic duty and her wish for romance, Latasha reluctantly agrees to visit Oldessa in disguise to find out what Prince Stephan can offer in return for her freedom. 
  
  Accompanied only by her elderly Nanny, and with the dark forces of the Russian army threatening all those living in ‘The Kingdom of Flowers’, Latasha’s dreams are tested to the limits as she battles to save a principality – and find true love.
