  In a society of unpredictability, greed, and crime, several individuals were thrust into a world of money, sex, and power after they were adopted by an affluent Chicago couple. However, what seems too good to be true usually is. Can they trust their allies and defend the Crowne legacy? 
   
   
   
  Him: She walked into the room like she owned it, demanding that I pay attention before she even voiced a word. When faced with the brown beauty, I almost forgot my number one rule: trust no one. It's something I remind myself daily. We all have an addiction and if I'm not careful, she'll become mine. I can't afford any distractions right now, especially when my latest obsession has secrets that can do more harm than good. 
   
   
   
  Her: He has every reason to be uncertain about me and yet, I can't help but be drawn to him in every way. How he speaks. The way he walks. The fact that all eyes are on him when he's in their presence. I can't recall a time in my life when I wasn't running from something, and not always by choice. I don't want to crave him like plenty of women already do. He's a Crowne. We'd never work. So why can't I seem to remember that fact whenever I'm near him?

  "A humdinger . . . whose characters bring to mind those of both Emily Brontë and L. M. Montgomery" (Kirkus), this second installment is perfect for fans of Deanna Rayborn. 
   
   
   
  1894, Boston. Penniless Boston heiress and accomplished modern woman Marigold Manners has put her past to good use, selling the story of the Great Misery Island Murders to earn enough money to resume the life she was always meant to have and return to her studies at Wellesley College. But her carefully laid plans for academic excellence are thrown into disarray when she stumbles across the body of a young woman in the campus lake. 
   
   
   
  When the peace of the bucolic campus is shattered by the murder, the cloistered world of a women's college that Marigold finds so comforting proves it is not immune to the malice and wickedness of the world. The closed community becomes a hothouse where disparagement blooms into insult and small slights that have festered for years blossom into academic rivalries that could spill over into something far more sinister. Marigold must use every ounce of her logic and enlist her eccentric, colorful cast of fellow students and found-family to identify the girl and find the murderer—before they kill again.

  In my family, I wear a lot of different hats all centered around the same role. Comedian. Life of the party. The jokester. Everyone's favorite fool when I wasn't getting on their last nerve. But without me, my family wouldn't be the empire we are today. As one of the best hackers in the country, I'm the one that uncovers any secrets our enemies are hiding, no matter how big or small. My entire life, I've been able to hack my way ahead of any situation. Yet, somehow I didn't see her coming.

  I hated him. Simple as that. I'm the queen of gore and guts, while this obnoxious, mouthpiece of a man, gags at the tiniest drop of blood. Everyone thinks he's hilarious, but I'm not so easily amused. I wasn't born to be a killer, but my circumstances made me this way. Men made me this way. So I turned myself into someone to be feared. For immature jerks like Hollis Crowne, I'd always be the siren in their dreams, lulling them to sleep while ultimately plotting their doom. But deep down, I wonder if he's the siren of mine.

  Isle of Iona, 1927: Cast away on a remote locale, Jane’s latest assignment depends on concealing her identity and blending in at an occult gathering. Not even her fiancé, Redvers, can be too close as she uncovers the truth about Robert Nightingale, enigmatic leader of the Order of the
