Sinossi

She - A History of Adventure is a classic of imaginative literature and one of the best-selling books of all time. "She" was extraordinarily popular upon its release and has never been out of print. The story is a first-person narrative that follows the journey of Horace Holly and his ward Leo Vincey to a lost kingdom in the African interior. There they encounter a primitive race of natives and a mysterious white queen named Ayesha who reigns as the all-powerful "She", or "She-who-must-be-obeyed". In this work, Rider Haggard developed the conventions of the Lost World subgenre, which many later authors emulated.  Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925) was an English writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and a pioneer of the Lost World literary genre.

    Book burning. Jewel stealing. Vampire hunting. 
     
     
     
    Not exactly what I expected from a day's work as a detective, but at least things are no longer dull at the agency. 
     
     
     
    Although I'm not sure how much longer the doors to that agency will be open, since the due date for getting my detective license just went whizzing by faster than a fairy on pixie dust. 
     
     
     
    But, after making good use of my groveling skills, HQ has given me an extension to solve a case and complete my application. Which would be great if the only clients I have weren't dead clients, missing clients, and persnickety clients. 
     
     
     
    I'm also contending with a boyfriend who's refusing to speak to me, there's a vampire uprising close on the horizon, and more Magics going missing by the day, including my own parents (yes, again). 
     
     
     
    But the worst problem in my life right now? A bubbly new assistant, who not only believes we're besties, but also thinks hugging is permitted. 
     
     
     
    Seriously, I'll take a vampire uprising over that, any day.

    The contract said it all, feelings were forbidden. 
    My ex husband left me pregnant and penniless. 
    When my best friend tells me about a once-in-a-lifetime job opening to be a personal assistant to the city's most eligible billionaire, I decide to go. After all, I have no health insurance and a baby on the way. 
    When I get there, I sign what I think is a NDA. 
    That's when the mistake is realized. 
    I just signed a contract stating that I agreed to fake marry Reed for one year and the only way I can get out of it is by paying an obscene amount of money. Which I don't have. 
    No other options, I decide to go through with it. 
    Now I'm living in his apartment, wearing his ring, but carrying someone else's baby. 
    I've fallen for my fake husband and I want this relationship to be real. 
    Problem is, he still doesn't know that I'm pregnant, and I don't know how to tell him. 
    If you love fake romances with swoon-worthy heroes, you’ll love The Contract with the Billionaire.

    ONE VICTORIAN CITY. ONE MAGICAL UPRISING. ONE BOY CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE. 
    A dark Victorian fantasy adventure you won’t be able to put down. 
    Fate has never been kind to twelve-year-old Toby. Not when he was abandoned on the steps of a workhouse as a baby. Nor when he escaped into the magical underworld that hides in London’s shadows. But when the futures of thousands of lives come to rest in his hands, Toby quickly realises that perhaps fate had a good reason. Perhaps it was preparing him.
