Sinopsis

The Nest of the Sparrowhawk is a gripping tale of greed, deception, and hidden identities set in Puritan England. The novel follows Sir Marmaduke de Chevasse, a cunning and unscrupulous man whose outward piety masks a ruthless scheme: to trick his beautiful young ward, Lady Sue, into marriage and seize her fortune. But beneath the quiet surface of the Kent countryside, secrets fester and dangers grow. With disguises, forged letters, and sinister plots, Orczy builds a tense and atmospheric story that blends romance with dark intrigue. Both a historical mystery and a moral drama, The Nest of the Sparrowhawk showcases Orczy's gift for weaving suspense, betrayal, and passion into a tale of justice and retribution.

    There are stories that strike like a bullet—swift, precise, and inescapable. Mateo Falcone is one of them.
    In the sun-scorched Corsican wilderness, where honor is measured in blood and a man's word is as unyielding as the mountains, a moment of hesitation can seal one's fate. A fugitive seeking refuge, a child faced with an impossible choice, a father whose sense of justice knows no mercy—Mérimée paints a world where tradition rules with an iron grip, and betrayal, no matter how small, does not go unanswered.
    There are no heroes here, no villains—only the weight of an unwritten law, passed down through generations, and the chilling certainty of what must come next. A tale as sharp as a knife's edge, Mateo Falcone lingers in the mind long after the final page, leaving behind the echo of a single gunshot and the question: what price does honor demand?

    A thorn in his side, or the woman of his dreams? 
     
     
     
    Henrietta Redford wishes she were a boy—after all, boys are masters of their own fate. Casting her dolls aside, she climbs trees, plays at swordfighting, and indulges in practical jokes. 
     
     
     
    Once she's had her come-out, Henrietta has promised her father that she'll settle down and marry. Any eligible man might do, but it certainly won't be Giles Thorpe—the older boy from the estate next door, whose arrogant disdain of her tomboyish ways only increased as he grew into a man. 
     
     
     
    Until they share a passionate kiss . . . 
     
     
     
    After inheriting an earldom when his profligate father died, Giles understands the dangers of irresponsibility. The infuriating tomboy next door is the epitome of recklessness and the last woman he should associate with—no matter how fast his heart beats at the sight of her delectable form. 
     
     
     
    When scandal threatens to ruin the Thorpe family name, Henrietta, unbeknown to Giles, is his best hope for salvation. But Henrietta will have to sacrifice everything—including the man she's grown to love. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
