  War between the island states of Kattaka and Mazemoor has left no one unscathed. Méka's nomadic people, the Ba'Suon, were driven from their homeland by the Kattakans. Those who remained were forced to live under the Kattakan yoke, to serve their greed for gold alongside the dragons with whom the Ba'Suon share an empathic connection. 
   
   
   
  A decade later and under a fragile truce, Méka returns home from her exile for an ancient, necessary rite: gathering a king dragon of the Crown Mountains to maintain balance in the wild country. But Méka's act of compassion toward an imprisoned dragon and Lilley, a Kattakan veteran of the war, soon draws the ire of the imperialistic authorities. They order the unwelcome addition of an enigmatic Ba'Suon traitor named Raka to accompany Méka and Lilley to the mountains. 
   
   
   
  The journey is filled with dangers both within and without. As conflict threatens to reignite, the survival of the Ba'Suon people, their dragons, and the land itself will depend on the decisions—defiant or compliant—that Méka and her companions choose to make. But not even Méka, kin to the great dragons of the North, can anticipate the depth of the consequences to her world.

  Delve into the tumultuous life of Morgan Conner, whose serene existence is shattered when scandal strikes her picture-perfect world. As the devoted wife of a respected figure in both social and religious circles, Morgan navigates the delicate balance of public image and private reality. However, one fateful morning, her tranquil facade is violently disrupted when the accusatory words, cheating wife, are spray-painted on her property, thrusting her into a maelstrom of judgment and scrutiny. 
  Forced to confront not only the accusation but also the deep-rooted biases and prejudices of her community, Morgan finds herself ensnared in a web of deception and betrayal. With her reputation hanging by a thread and her every move dissected by prying eyes, Morgan must summon every ounce of strength to endure the relentless onslaught of gossip and speculation. 
  In a society where perception often eclipses truth, Morgan discovers that the battle for redemption is not merely about proving her innocence—it's a fight for survival against the suffocating grip of prejudice and preconception. 
  Through Morgan's gripping journey, readers are confronted with uncomfortable truths about the nature of perception and the price of conformity in a society plagued by hypocrisy and self-righteousness. A poignant tale of redemption and resilience, The Cheating Wife is a riveting exploration of the indomitable spirit's triumph over the darkest corners of human nature.

  A genteel English lady looking for a spark is about to get a bonfire in this Regency romance by the USA Today–bestselling author of the Rosecliffe Trilogy. Olivia may have entered London society three years ago, but all she has to show for it is extensive notes. The pages of her diary are filled with details on every bachelor who has ever clamored for a spot on her dance card. Although her book has afforded her a new hobby in matchmaking, it has yet to provide her with a suitable man. And she is not about to settle for just anyone . . . Since returning from the war, Lord Neville Hawke slakes his thirst with any spirit he can find and satisfies his lust with any woman he desires. His charms, however, are lost on a well-bred lady like Olivia. After their disastrous meeting, she wants nothing to do with him. Neville, on the other hand, feels something he has not felt in a long time. Olivia makes the darkest days of his past feel a bit more bearable. But since Olivia has made up her mind on Neville and he is not in the market for a wife, it would take a miracle for them to get together—or a kiss.
