Summary

He wasn’t just a tattooed bad boy. He wasn’t just a wolf. He was something else—something I could never look at the same way again. 
 
This Velvet Ink collection starts with one of the rarest pairings in steamy romance: a wolf shifter with inked skin and a past he doesn’t talk about, and the girl who should have walked away. 
 
But she didn’t. And I watched every second of it. 
 
Through eyes not meant to be seen, I witnessed her fall for the one man everyone warned her about. I watched the walls crumble, the hunger grow, and the past he buried come back with claws. 
 
Includes three emotionally twisted, heat-fueled parts of one unforgettable story: 
 
– A bad boy who isn’t fully human 
 
– A fearless girl who gets too close 
 
– A witness who sees what even they don’t 
 
If you crave taboo tension, inked temptation, and stories told from the shadows—this one’s already watching you.
Available since: 08/13/2025.
Print length: 150 pages.

    The Adventurer is a Barbara Cartland novel like no other. Set before, during and after World War One, this is not the story of a King, a Lord or a dashing battlefield hero: Frank Swinton is quite the opposite. He is an adventurer: a man determined to raise himself above the drudgery of a
     
    nine-to-five job. Tall, dark and attractive, if not exactly handsome, he uses his charms to swindle lonely ladies out of their money. That is until he’s trapped by his own weakness and greed in a loveless marriage–and hates himself as much as his obsessive and embittered bride. Eventually he manages to unshackle himself, flee overseas and find the courage to fight for his country–but will he ever escape and rediscover his long-lost soul and the love his greed allowed him to leave behind? All is told in this moving story about a man’s search for redemption and that in the end, love is enough.

    Can the lonely thread of her life be woven into a new and finer pattern? 
     
    When Saoirse Fagan arrives at Drumboe Castle to start her new job as housemaid, she is dismayed to learn that the lord of the house passed away a week prior. Already running from the tragedy that claimed the lives of her family members, Saoirse wanders the road through the darkening glen with nowhere to go until Aileen McCready offers her a lift and a place to stay for the night.  
     
    Aileen's brother, sheep farmer and weaver Owen McCready, is known for his intricate and impeccably woven tweed. But when he's injured, his entire livelihood is endangered. A new--and distracting--mouth to feed adds fuel to the fire, and Owen struggles to keep his family afloat. Though Saoirse is eager to help, even offering to learn the weaving craft, Owen is hesitant to accept aid from this strange young woman, no matter how inexplicably magnetic he finds her.  
     
    But Saoirse is not one to give up easily. She's determined to convince the McCreadys that they need her--perhaps as much as she needs them.
