Sinopse

Long before the days of the French Revolution, there was another daring hero whose courage and wit blazed the path for the Scarlet Pimpernel legend. The First Sir Percy transports readers to the turbulent Netherlands of the 1620s, where political plots, foreign intrigue, and ruthless enemies threaten to destroy both love and liberty. Sir Percy Blakeney's ancestor — a gallant cavalier with a sharp tongue and sharper sword — finds himself entangled in a dangerous conspiracy that could topple nations. Torn between loyalty to his country, the defense of honor, and his devotion to a woman he adores, he must outwit traitors and assassins at every turn. Brimming with duels, disguises, romance, and suspense, The First Sir Percy is a thrilling historical adventure that proves the Pimpernel spirit of daring and sacrifice is timeless.

    Could the man who, for all his sarcastic ways, she’s coming to admire and even love be a traitor working for the enemy? Who should Caroline trust? 
    With spies, the Napoleonic war, and warring siblings, The Country Cousins is a standalone romance featuring cameos of beloved characters, human and animal, from The Country Gentleman. A sweet and clean romance perfect for fans of charmingly detailed historical romance like those by Georgette Heyer and Mimi Matthews.

    What's a bright young lady to do when her brother becomes the main suspect in a murder? Why, solve the case of course. 
     
     
     
    England. 1923. After a year away at finishing school where she learned etiquette, deportment, and the difference between a fish fork and a salad one, Kitty Worthington is eager to return home. But minutes after she and her brother Ned board the Golden Arrow, the unthinkable happens. A woman with a mysterious connection to her brother is poisoned, and the murderer can only be someone aboard the train. 
     
     
     
    When Scotland Yard hones on Ned as the main suspect, Kitty sets out to investigate. Not an easy thing to do while juggling the demands of her debut season and a mother intent on finding a suitable, aristocratic husband for her. 
     
     
     
    With the aid of her maid, two noble beaus, and a flatulent Basset Hound named Sir Winston, Kitty treads a fearless path through the glamorous world of high society and London's dark underbelly to find the murderer. For if she fails, the insufferable Inspector Crawford will most surely hang a noose around her brother's neck.
