    In the opulent and perilous world of high society's most elite--and most dangerous--families, two investigators must set aside their broken hearts to uncover the truth. 
     
    Gemma Parks is known to the London elite as G. M. Parker, a columnist renowned for her commentary on the cream of society. Behind the scenes, she uses her talents to aid the Imposters in their investigations by gathering intel at events and providing alibis for the firm's members through her columns. Yet her clandestine work would be more exhilarating if it weren't for the constant presence of the gentleman who broke her heart. 
     
    Graham Wharton has never had eyes for anyone but Gemma, and she left his heart in tatters when she walked away from him. When the Imposters take on a new job to recover a kidnapped boy mistaken for his aristocratic cousin, Graham is determined to use the time with Gemma to not only restore the missing boy, but to also win back the only woman he's ever loved. As they trace the clues laid out before them, Graham and Gemma must devise a noble scheme to save the boy's life and heal their hearts.

He wants to understand the universe, but increasingly, Anna becomes the most important thing in it to him. They're bound to separate paths that threaten to diverge. Is love strong enough to hold them together? 
    As the ship's archivist, Anna stumbles across hints that the story they've been told about the fate of Earth was a fabrication.

Love is the thread that binds them and promises salvation.

    A broken, twisted girl, her fairytale in ashes.  
    Three players in the game, their pawn in a gilded cage. 
    I didn't know why they had brought me back or what they wanted from me. They should have let me die in that room of pain and shame, but instead they've hidden me away, kept me under the attentive eyes of dangerous men unaccustomed to the likes of me in their midst. 
    I was sure my useless bodyguard and father-in-law never expected me to become attached to the ambitious, damaged, and unhinged men they stashed me with, but I was no longer concerned with what they thought of me. 
    Free of the monster I'd married, I planned to live my life on my terms… until it was made clear I was expected to honor my obligations or face the consequences. No matter which way I chose, my life wasn't my own. I wasn't sure it ever had been, or if it ever would be. 
    The Redemption of Shelby Ann is the second installment in the Twisted Love series, a dark, contemporary reverse harem. This series will have an eventual HEA, but it's going to take some patience to get there. Mature audiences only - dark content. Performed in DUET style narration.
