Beschreibung

The best of times and the worst of tidings: it’s Hallowe’en at the House of Werth…
 
Augusta Honoria Werth. Deceased October 31st, 1821. 
 
What passes for family peace is shattered (yet again) with the arrival of Nell, and the Book of Spectres. There, written in good black ink, is the date of Gussie’s death: three days from now, on Hallowtide itself.
 
Not just Gussie, but all the Werths are slated, somehow, to die. With a maleficent Book as the bearer of bad news, the recalcitrant tomes must be involved; but who’s behind the boisterous books, and why have they got it in for Gussie?
 
With no time at all to stave off disaster, and more than the family honour on the line, the Werths must pull together in the face of their greatest crisis yet. Not such a tall order, surely?
 
Rejoin the worst and Wyrdest of families at the spookiest time of the year! The Werths versus inevitable doom: what could possibly go wrong? WARNING, this tale will expose you to: rambunctious revenants, garrulous ghouls, and tumultuous (and terrifying) tomes, handle with care.
Verfügbar seit: 23.09.2025.

    Jaime is the fourth son of the Prince of the Heighlands. Always an outsider in his family, Jaime seems unable to ever please his father, no matter how he tries. He longs to be a fighter, a hunter, anything other than the role his father has mapped out for him: future steward to his oldest brother.
    But Jaime's set path in life is overturned when the consequences of an indiscretion on his part prove to be the final straw for his father. Infuriated, Prince Halden sends Jaime away from the Heighlands, the only home Jaime has ever known, to serve at the court of the powerful and despised king of Leilani. Alone in a much more sophisticated society than he is used to, Jaime must maneuver to find his way ... and struggle to understand his feelings about the handsome King Alder of Leilani, to whom he has sworn fealty. 
    Alder has much on his mind. Fighting a war he can't end and can't afford to lose, his widowed state is of far less import. Nonetheless, his Councilors are demanding he choose a Companion -- a man to please his bed -- as is expected of a widowed Leilani king with heirs. It is a choice he is in no hurry to make. The war and losses on the battlefield are of far greater concern, and the arrival of a disgraced prince from the least loyal part of his kingdom is a minor and unwanted distraction. 
    Until Jaime walks into his court. For the first time in his life, Alder feels a genuine surge of lust for a man. But it's a hopeless attraction. No Heighlander would admit to wanting another man, ever. 
    Jaime wants to fight in the war. Alder wants to make love to him. Can they both possibly get what they want?

    "Daddy's Girl" follows the compelling journey of Alice Drummond, from her controlled childhood in Cape Town to her emergence as an independent young woman in London. When Alice discovers documents revealing how her mother Clare and stepfather Johan deliberately destroyed her father Jack's business empire, she orchestrates a daring escape to England at age sixteen. What follows is an extraordinary tale of resilience and reinvention, as Alice rebuilds her relationship with her father while navigating her own path through life. From launching a crypto bank in Africa to founding a refugee support organization during the Ukrainian crisis, from finding and losing love to ultimately discovering her calling as a barrister, Alice's story is one of triumph over adversity. Against the backdrop of global events and family drama, the novel explores the unbreakable bond between father and daughter, proving that some connections survive even the most determined efforts to break them. Through it all, Alice's journey from controlled teenager to confident young woman mirrors her father's own path from destroyed businessman to fulfilled family man, showing how love and resilience can overcome even the most carefully orchestrated attempts at destruction. 
    This is a sequel to Ludo Stuart-Douglas's Rakes Progress Trilogy and includes all the main characters.
