  Old sins cast long shadows when hearts are at stake. 
   
   
   
  It's been fourteen years since Lavinia de Grande was evicted from her childhood home after her father lost his fortune. 
   
   
   
  On entering her first Season courtesy of a cousin's charity, Lavinia vows to wreak vengeance on Earl Walton, the villain who orchestrated their ruination. Not even an alluring viscount—whose masterful touch and fiery kisses set her senses ablaze—will distract her from her plan to retrieve the family heirlooms lost at Walton's hands, by fair means or foul. 
   
   
   
  Peregrine, Viscount Marlow, has been tasked with solving a mystery. A thief known as "the Phoenix" is targeting the ton and stealing seemingly unconnected treasures from different houses. During his investigation, Peregrine is distracted by the daughter of an impoverished viscount—a young woman unlike other debutantes, with a mind of her own and a body ripe for claiming. 
   
   
   
  As Peregrine draws closer to his quarry, he unearths a secret that links the Phoenix to his own father, and Lavinia, who is falling for her would-be captor, soon learns that what began as a game, might cost her liberty—or even her life. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Tears of Jade: The Cursed Empire 
  Enter the twilight of Tenochtitlán, where the clash of empires ignites a tale of vengeance, guilt, and mystical destiny. Tears of Jade: The Cursed Empire is an immersive historical audiobook that weaves the raw brutality of the Spanish conquest with the haunting allure of Mexica mythology, unraveling the fates of three souls bound by a cursed jade amulet. 
  Through vivid prose and rich sensory detail, listeners are plunged into the fall of an empire: the roar of flames consuming sacred temples, the whispers of ancient chants echoing through blood-soaked causeways, and the relentless pulse of a jade relic that holds the power to redeem or destroy. Meet Alonso de Montemayor, a tormented conquistador wrestling with the sins of his blade; Itzel, a fierce Mexica warrior fueled by loss and vengeance; and Luis, their mestizo son, torn between two worlds as he inherits a legacy of blood and prophecy. 
  From the smoldering ruins of Ehécatl’s Temple to the revelation of a hidden codex pointing to a lost city, this epic narrative explores the collision of cultures, the cost of conquest, and the fragile hope of renewal. Blending meticulous historical detail with the mysticism of prehispanic lore, Tears of Jade is a gripping journey through a world on the brink—where the past whispers through murals, the present bleeds, and the future hangs on a cursed dawn. 
    
  Perfect for fans of historical fiction, Mesoamerican history, and tales of fate and redemption, this audiobook transports you to the heart of 16th-century Mexico—a land of gods, warriors, and empires where every choice echoes through time. Narrated with passion and depth, Tears of Jade: The Cursed Empire is a haunting tribute to a civilization lost and the souls who carry its legacy.
