Sinossi

In 8th century Mercia, King Offa lusts for power. His queen, Cynethryth, is an ambitious politician minting her own coins – a first for any woman in the male-dominated era.
 
Amid societal changes, the two navigate power struggles, revolts and alliances in the tumultuous Anglo-Saxon Britain, leaving their mark during a pivotal time in English history.
 
But where is Offa's place among the English kings, and who is the real force in his reign? There is little concrete evidence, but in OFFA - REX MERCIORUM, John Broughton breaks through the veil of time and provides an entertaining, well-researched historical tale.

    When Lily is offered a ticket out of the career and life she hates, she takes it. Even if it means signing a contract to marry the attractive but aloof Sebastian Miller for five years. Her job is simple: play the happy housewife and she will get awarded a million dollars of her inheritance. That money is more than enough for her to start a life on her own and away from her controlling parents. But four years in, she's more than ready to be done with this marriage. She's pretty sure her husband hates her, and she longs for the freedom the end of their contract will bring—a freedom that is threatened when she's called to meet Sebastian's father, the orchestrator of this whole sham. She worries he will try to extend their contractual marriage. What he does is worse. 
     
     
     
    Forced to move across the country due to a promotion for Sebastian is her worst nightmare, but her only choice is to pretend to be fine. She prepares for the last year of their marriage to be more cold indifference, but being stuck in a new city shows a sweeter side of Sebastian that Lily never thought possible. Gone is the indifferent man she knows and in his place is the kind and patient man of her dreams. But their clock is ticking—only one year of their marriage remains. Will they find love or will contractual obligations get in the way?

    Mallory refuses to let Pete into her life, but Pete can’t get her out of his mind. Pete will have to come to terms with what he’s willing to give up for her, and Mallory will have to decide if trusting him is worth the risk of him breaking her heart all over again.
