Synopsis

For readers of Paulette Jiles and Gil Adamson, a 19th-century tale of a father’s greatest regret and path to redemption
		 
Devastated at his wife’s death and stricken at raising two girls and a boy on his own, Arthur Delaney places his children in a Halifax orphanage and runs off to join the Union Army in the American Civil War. The trauma of battle and three years in a disease-ridden prisoner-of-war prison changes his perspective on life and family.
		 
After the war, Delaney odd-jobs his way up the American east coast and catches a schooner to Halifax. There he discovers the orphanage has relocated to a farm in rural Nova Scotia. His children are not there. They and others had been sold and resold as farm workers and house servants through the Maritime provinces, as well as Quebec and Ontario. Their whereabouts is unknown. Arthur Delaney sets out on a punishing 20-year journey across Canada to find them.
		 
This is a heartbreaking, beautifully told story of a father’s attempt to reconnect with his children

    BY C.C. 
    “Every part of me is in 
    love with you.” 
    Tyron Zapanta is one of the most sought-after bachelors in town. But aside from his devilishly and handsome looks, he is a one-woman kind of guy. He doesn’t do cheating and flings. Pero nasubukan ang paniniwalang iyon nang dumating ang kinakapatid niyang si Raine. 
    When Tyron saw Raine’s heart-shaped face, argentine eyes and sweltering lips, he forgot all his beliefs. Ang gusto na lang niya ay ang mahalikan ang babae at ang maangkin ito. At sa isang iglap, parang naging madali para kay Tyron na kalimutan ang paniniwala niya …

    In the arcane apothecary of Elixirion, where potions simmer with stolen kisses and rogue spellbreakers shatter spells with thief's cunning, alchemist Mira brews an elixir for breaker Jax, whose kiss-stealing lips cure her bound magic. Their simmering, vialed in potion vows, cures the heart—or poisons it with addictive brews. As they stir through glow-lit labs and kiss-haunted vaults, raided by potion rivals and curse menders, Mira's alchemical brew merges with Jax's rogue shatter, revealing a potion legend of kissed cure. When a spilled vial unleashes mutation mists, they must kiss the simmer to distill the antidote. In the bubble of arcane elixirs, where every kiss infuses desire and every potion heals the soul's fracture, their love becomes the brew that frees the enchanted.

    Henrietta Dorothy Huskisson was born in January 1851 in Gillingham, Kent. 
    Little reliable information on her life is available and almost nothing on her early life.   
    The first concrete information concerns her marriage at age 18 to the solicitor Isaac Edward Everett. 
    It was only at the age of 44 that she began her literary career under the pseudonym of Theo Douglas, a popular device in a society that still frowned upon women writing for income. 
    During her lifetime she was a popular author and wrote 22 books and those were published by 17 different publishers. 
    Although she wrote some historical novels her main output was centered on fantasy and supernatural themes. 
    Henrietta Dorothy Everett died in Weston-on-Trent in Derbyshire in September 1923.

    Behind closed doors at The Scarlet Hotel, anything can happen… even hope. 
    Wesley and Nathan have been happily married for five years, and from the outside, everything looks perfect… but something is missing. As two omegas, they’ll never have children of their own, and it’s something they want desperately. They could adopt or even foster, or maybe look into artificial means of getting pregnant, but none of those feel right. Besides, another idea has already wormed its way into their minds… what if they could find an alpha willing to help… maybe even willing to impregnate them both. 
    Bron is a superb physical specimen—and he knows it. He’s tall and muscular, smart and sexy. He’s a catch! Except he’s never found himself being caught. His relationships have always fallen through, but he can’t seem to find someone who makes him feel that special spark. When he’s approached with an interesting proposal, for a searing weekend of unprotected sex, he’s intrigued. The guys seem really nice, and the idea of helping them create a family makes him feel all kinds of warm. As long as he doesn’t look too closely at those warm fuzzies, everything should be fine. Because even though he feels that spark for both of them, neither of them are his to keep. 
    Room 215 is the fourth standalone book in the m/m mpreg romance series, The Scarlet Hotel, from bestselling author Trisha Linde. Each book features a new couple and begins and ends in a different room at The Scarlet Hotel. Room 215 revolves around a couple who will do anything to start a family, an alpha longing for something more, a tangle of emotions that will take all three men to unravel, and a pregnancy... or two...
