Summary

In "Seth," Frances Hodgson Burnett crafts a poignant narrative that delves into themes of belonging, identity, and the transformative power of love. The novel is marked by Burnett's signature lyrical prose and vivid imagery, which immerses the reader in the emotional landscapes of its characters. Set against the backdrop of a changing society, the story unfolds through the experiences of its titular character, Seth, whose journey reflects the struggles of the human spirit in seeking connection and purpose amidst adversity. This work stands as a testament to Burnett's understanding of childhood dilemmas and social intricacies, enriched by her keen observations of the human condition. Frances Hodgson Burnett, a prominent figure in children's literature, draws from her own experiences of displacement and resilience, which undoubtedly influenced her portrayal of Seth's internal and external conflicts. Known for her acclaimed works like "The Secret Garden" and "A Little Princess," Burnett's insights into the struggles of young protagonists resonate deeply throughout her oeuvre. Her ability to create rich, relatable characters is partly rooted in her own life's challenges as a woman of her time. "Seth" is a compelling read that invites readers to reflect on their own lives and relationships. It is a beautifully woven tale that encourages a deeper understanding of the universal quest for identity and belonging. For those who appreciate thoughtful, character-driven narratives, Burnett's exploration of the human spirit in "Seth" will leave a lasting impression.

    It's called the change of life but this is ridiculous . . . 
 
 
 
Samantha Sinclair's midlife can be summed up in one word—trapped. Trapped by Multiple Sclerosis. Trapped by an abusive husband. Trapped until her son breaks the vicious cycle and whisks her away to a bed and breakfast on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. 
 
 
 
He sent her away. Now she's returned to the scene of the crime. 
 
 
 
The only problem? It puts her in the path of the only man she ever wanted. Damien rejected her years ago and Sam's never recovered from the heartache. Combined with the quirky and nosy oddballs in the fifty and up waterfront community, the B&B isn't the ideal place to lay low. Sam just wants to lick her wounds, not rekindle an old flame who is still too hot to handle. 
 
 
 
Witches and shifters and secrets, oh my! 
 
 
 
When Sam looks out the window late one night and sees people dancing naked and huge felines cavorting on the beach, she realizes she's not the only one with something to hide. But can this ragtag band of aging supernaturals keep her safe? Or will her vengeful ex destroy what's left of Sam's life?

    Kill the King of Mont de Leucoy, and his siblings will be released. 
It should be an easy job for Malcolm Forrest. He’s ex-army, and hiking through snow doesn’t bother him because he’s a snow leopard shifter. He enters the country on four feet, his plan not formed beyond reaching the castle and getting eyes on the king. 
Seeing a phoenix flying through the trees is unexpected, but his curiosity has been awakened, and so has the firebird’s. He follows, but what he finds is a man standing by a fire. A man he believes to be a shifter living wild and in need of some company, which, after days of living as a snow leopard, is rather too tempting. 
Escaping his security to shift and fly is one of the reasons Gerrit likes to visit his remote mountain estate. The only shifters he ever finds are those in trouble, so when he sees the snow leopard, he’s happy to share his fire. 
When the leopard shifts, Gerrit wants more than words. He’s tired of being alone and unable to connect because of who he is and the secret he needs to keep. He doesn’t expect to see the snow leopard again. 
The next time they meet, Malcolm realizes who the phoenix is and how he missed his chance. With a magic-fueled blizzard closing in and no means of escape, he fails to act again. Instead, when Gerrit offers him shelter on his estate and in his bed, he accepts. Even though the lie eats him up. How can he kill a man who cares about his country, his family, his staff, and a stranger so much? 
With lives on the line and too many secrets being kept, revealing the truth may be the only way out of the mess…but it will cost him more than his heart. 
Explore the hidden kingdom of Mont de Leucoy in Book 2 of the Brothers of Fire series. This book has a lonely king, a desperate assassin, a snowstorm, spies, lies, and plenty of steam created by the phoenix and the snow leopard.
