In this funny Regency romance series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn’t know what’s hit it… Prudence Shackleford had not expected to be a spinster at three and twenty, but unfortunately, as she’d quickly discovered, very few men were prepared to tolerate either her ghoulish sense of humour, or her macabre taste in literature. And those were the ones she’d got as far as holding a conversation with. When invited to London by the Duke and Duchess of Blackmore to witness the Coronation of King George IV, she was equal parts horrified and intrigued. Especially after a chance meeting with a Bow Street Runner on the trail of conspirators it was feared were planning to murder the King. Jamie Fitzroy had been a Bow Street Runner for five years. In that time he’d risen swiftly up the ranks, gaining a reputation for both ruthlessness and guile. Such were his successes in ridding London's streets of thieves and murderers, his name had become almost legendary. But in the wake of the Cato Street Conspiracy, he was now on the trail of a gang intending to assassinate the King during his own Coronation. And with less than two weeks to go, and a London packed to bursting, the stakes had never been higher. The last thing he had time for was a russet haired chit who was too ripe and ready by half – even if she did haunt his dreams every night… Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humour and a little bit of steam...Ver libro
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is a dark and enduring masterpiece that delves into the hidden depths of human nature. Set in the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London, this classic novella blends gothic horror, psychological suspense, and moral inquiry into a gripping and unforgettable tale. Dr. Henry Jekyll is a brilliant and respected scientist troubled by the conflict between his public virtue and private desires. In an attempt to master this inner struggle, he devises a radical experiment meant to separate the good and evil elements of his personality. The result is the creation of Edward Hyde—a figure of pure malevolence, unrestrained by conscience or social law. As Hyde's violent acts grow increasingly bold and horrifying, Jekyll's control begins to unravel. What starts as a scientific triumph soon becomes a terrifying descent into obsession, secrecy, and loss of identity. The mystery unfolds through unsettling revelations, mounting dread, and a chilling examination of repression and moral duality. More than a tale of horror, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a profound exploration of the divided self and the dangers of denying one's true nature. Stevenson's sharp prose and haunting imagery expose the fragile boundary between civilization and savagery, making this work as relevant today as it was at the time of its publication. A cornerstone of gothic literature, this novella remains a powerful reflection on good and evil—and the monsters that dwell within us all.Ver libro
