Synopsis

The "Regency Romance Classics 'Äì Samuel Richardson Collection" showcases the pioneering works of Samuel Richardson, a pivotal figure in the evolution of the English novel. This collection brings together his seminal novels, characterized by their epistolary form and intricate character examinations. Richardson deftly explores themes of virtue, moral complexity, and the struggles of society, all set against the backdrop of the Regency era'Äôs social mores. His writing style, imbued with psychological depth and emotional intensity, allows readers to engage intimately with the characters'Äô dilemmas and desires, making the narratives both compelling and reflective of the human condition. Samuel Richardson (1689-1761) was not merely an author but a craftsman of culture, and his background as a printer deeply influenced his literary creations. His fascination with letters and communication in an increasingly evolving society provided a framework for his exploration of individual agency against societal constraints. Richardson's works emerged during a critical juncture in literary history when the novel began to establish itself as a serious form capable of addressing complex social issues. This collection is recommended for readers intrigued by early modern literature, the evolution of romance in fiction, or the intricacies of human relationships. With Richardson's works, one can appreciate the roots of modern narrative styles while enjoying timeless themes that resonate even today.

    I wish I could escape my past. But when it catches up to me, I don't get to make the wishes—I have to grant them. 
     
     
     
    Becoming a widow on my fortieth birthday was not what I had planned. Even worse? It's forced me and my teenage daughter back to Whispering Willows and the life of magic I left behind. 
     
     
     
    I tell myself it'll be a short trip to sell my mother's shop of wishes. Until I kind of, sort of bind myself to the shop. 
     
     
     
    With bills piling up fast, I gotta do something I swore I never would: open shop and start granting wishes, just until I can figure out how to undo this pesky binding spell. 
     
     
     
    It doesn't help that the handsome mayor keeps tempting me with those kissable lips. Or that I have to hide from my daughter that magic is real. 
     
     
     
    I wish I could leave my past behind, but in this line of work, I've learned one very important rule: be careful what you wish for.

    “[An] engrossing blend of romance and gothic mystery. The suspense is well done in a fine story line with plenty of unpredictable twists and turns.” —Midwest Book Review 
     
    Damaris Gordon shuddered at the thought of working for the cruel and bitter Master of Blacktower—but her father’s death left her no choice. Suddenly her fate—her life itself—was in the black silk-gloved hands of Gavin Hamilton, a man scarred and tortured by an unspoken past, whose mocking laughter echoes through his ancient Scottish estate. Damaris has heard the whispers that accuse Gavin Hamilton of his wife’s death and his young daughter’s crippling injury. But the pain and sadness barely hidden behind his blazing dark stare touch Damaris deeply—and a courageous heart is luring her to the estate’s topmost tower in search of his dangerous secrets.

    An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
    But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
    Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.
