Sinossi

For beautiful young Ivana her stepfather Keith Waring is no replacement for her much-missed father, the Honourable Hugo Sherard, who was killed in Spain fighting against Napoleon Bonaparte.
 
Her stepfather is a spendthrift and he has gambled away virtually everything the family owns.
 
Ivana’s hatred for her stepfather is doubled when, to her utter horror, she overhears him offering her as a ‘kept woman’ to the equally despised Lord Hanford for over five thousand pounds!
 
Ivana runs away with her old Nanny acting as her chaperone and companion and applies for work through a Domestic Agency, where she is invited to apply for a post using her flawless Parisian French for the Earl of Lorimer, who is working in the War Office.
 
Expecting a man to apply for the post, the imperious but handsome Earl is at first sceptical, but on realising that he knew her father, he soon warms to her, saying that he has a ‘difficult and dangerous mission for her!’
 
Ivana is to become a spy, working undercover against Napoleon’s secret agents. And so her perilous adventures begin.
 
Very soon she loses her heart – and at every turn she risks losing her life.
 
But the worst danger of all comes not from the wartime enemy but from the evil Lord Hanford who is still determined to possess her as he has already paid for her.

    I never asked to be special, to be the one the prophecy spoke about. 
    Being different has only brought me pain and isolation from my own kind. 
    Now, as I lay trapped, all I can think about is him—the forbidden human-raised shifter who makes my inner beast crave a normal life. 
    Griffin doesn't know about the curse, doesn't understand why everyone wants me gone, doesn't even know what he is. 
    They say I'm dangerous, that I'll bring destruction to our kind. 
    But I saw the possessive gleam in his eyes when he saw me. 
    He's mine, my fated mate. 
    Or he will be if I survive long enough to explain what that means.

    The BRAND NEW gorgeous romance from bestseller Rebecca Raisin 🚂❄️💖An utterly magical, escapist Christmas romance, perfect for fans of Eliza J. Scott, Sarah Morgan and Veronica Henry! 
    A honeymoon for one on the most romantic train journey in the world… what could possibly go wrong? 
    When Aubrey’s fiancé dumps her – literally at the altar – just days before Christmas, her first thought is for the honeymoon. A luxury snow train, winding through Europe’s most beautiful Christmas markets, stopping in places like Paris and Stockholm, before ending in Lapland, to stay in igloos under the Northern Lights. 
    It was meant to be the most romantic ten days of her life. And now she has to go it alone. But arriving on the train – where, not wanting to be known as someone who was jilted, she might have accidentally implied her new husband died in a horrible accident – she finds she’s not the only singleton on board. 
    The group of single passengers quickly nickname themselves ‘The Unlucky in Love Travel Club’… But – as the train gathers pace – so do Aubrey’s feelings for absurdly handsome travel journalist, Jasper. 
    And she starts to wonder – as fireworks explode over the snow – whether her magical Christmas honeymoon-for-one might be just what she needs. And if she might not be as unlucky in love as she’d thought… 
    From the bestselling author of Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel and Summer in Santorini.Readers love Rebecca Raisin:

    1867: For commoners and nobility alike, the Isle of Wight is an ideal holiday destination. Queen Victoria and her family frequently spend time at Osborne House, their stunning coastal residence. For the next few days the island will also be home to Dr. Julia Lewis, who is traveling with her grandfather and her great-aunt. But despite the pleasant surroundings, Julia is beset by worries.Julia and Inspector Richard Tennant grew close during their last investigation, but he abruptly left England on a dangerous chase. She has heard nothing from him in weeks; meanwhile her maid, Kate, is nervous about rising anti-Irish sentiment. Editorials call for harsh retaliation against those determined to rid Ireland of British rule.When Julia is called to perform an autopsy on drowning victim Lizzie Dowling, a young, Irish-born servant at Osborne House and a favorite of Princess Louise, she discovers that the girl was pregnant. Was her death a suicide? The distraught princess is eager for answers, and as Julia digs deeper, a second tragedy points to murder and perhaps a political scandal. There are rumors of smugglers funneling weapons to Ireland—and assassins who would target the Queen herself. Motives abound but time is in short supply—and every day brings deeper urgency and threats that neither riches nor royalty may withstand . . .

    After the last few misadventures, I’m not so much broken as ruined, a shell of my former self. But I can’t stop. The trail of those who betrayed me is getting cold, and if I’m going to get any answers, I need to follow it, and now.
