Beschreibung

Socialite and ‘professional beauty’, Lady Odele Ashford, is taken aback when her lover, the notorious womaniser Prince Ivan Katinouski, asks her to find him a young bride, who will give him the children he has always wanted, specifying that she must be pure and innocent and of noble English birth. At first she thinks that this will surely interfere with her own intimate relationship with the handsome and immensely rich Prince. But then inspiration strikes. Her own innocent eighteen-year-old niece, the blonde, blue-eyed and beautiful Charlotte Storr is the perfect match! When Lady Storr receives a letter demanding that Charlotte is to attend a ball at his huge Castle to meet her unwanted suitor, young Charlotte is horror-stricken because her heart already belongs to Honourable Shane O’Derry, an impoverished Irish aristocrat.Desperate to distract the attention of the Prince, Charlotte’s brother Richard and Shane recruit another young beauty, a music teacher’s daughter, Alana, to pose as a young Noblewoman in the hope of distracting the Prince away from Charlotte.Alana is an ethereal and almost mystical beauty, who is an exceptional musician like her father. Reluctantly entangled in a web of intrigue Alana is at first repelled by the playboy Prince, yet finds herself drawn by some strange magical Power in his possession.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Brian Crossley thought he understood the rules of the cylinder. He thought time could be bent, managed, rewritten. But each jump only drags him deeper into shadows he cannot escape. 
    Haunted by grief and driven by the name Savanna Thorne, Brian risks everything to untangle a past that refuses to stay buried. Each choice he makes reshapes the present, but the cost grows heavier with every return. Blood stains, fractured timelines, and the threat of forces beyond his control close in on him from every side. 
    In this final chapter of Brian’s journey, the line between destiny and destruction blurs. The cylinder is no longer just a tool—it is a trap, and Brian may not be the one holding the pen to his own story anymore. 
    The Case of Savanna Thorne is a relentless, emotional, and chilling conclusion to the trilogy. It is a story about love that refuses to die, the wounds that time cannot heal, and the dangerous truth that second chances always come with a price.

    When ARKANE Archivist Martin Klein joins the Vatican digital archiving project, he finds an ancient letter mistakenly scanned along with the medieval papal decree Militia Dei, Soldiers of God. 
    It points to a dark secret the Knights Templar once tried to erase from existence, hidden in a medieval fortress under the heart of Paris for almost a thousand years. 
    As Martin follows the trail to the hidden Templar crypt, aided by biblical scholar Camara Mbaye, they discover something unspeakable in the vaults below Paris. 
    Who are the Soldiers of God and why must they rest until needed? 
    This is a short story featuring Martin Klein and Dr Camara Mbaye from my ARKANE world. It fits after Tomb of Relics, book 12 of the ARKANE action-adventure thriller series, but can be read as a stand-alone story.

    🎄 A Silverbourne Gay Christmas Short Story 🥂 
    Matt is exhausted and short on cash, but when the charismatic couple Freddy and Andy invite him on an impulsive New Year's Eve trip to Berlin, he can't refuse. After spending a charged Christmas at Silverbourne Manor, the Canadian expat knows he wants to be with them—but not the mess that comes with dating. 
    The invitation seems innocent enough, but when the trio arrives at their lavish suite at the Hotel Provocateur, the lines between friendship, obligation, and desire quickly blur. Andy explicitly booked the suite and joked to the hotel they were already a throuple. Squeezed into the back of a damp taxi, sharing suggestive banter, and meeting the eccentric players of Berlin's art scene, Matt finds himself hopelessly entangled in the couple’s dynamic. 
    Will this New Year's trip confirm the beginnings of an M/M/M relationship, or will the thrilling, relentless chemistry with his two daddies pull him into a new, complicated romance he never expected? 
    Step into the world of Silverbourne for a festive, reflective, and flirtatious holiday short story where longing and love ignite just between years.
