  A slave rises from a garrison prison to save Egypt, but first, he must save the king. 
  There are things more dangerous than interpreting the dream of a sovereign, like convincing him of corruption among his top officials.  
  But integrity has its price. 
  And Yoseph has already paid that price at the hands of jealous brothers and for the lie of his master's wife. 
  Now he has risen to second in command of the realm, and with the authority of a king's seal, integrity might cost him everything...even his life. 
  This Biblical epic is not only a slow-building Biblical fiction romance but is also full of Egyptian intrigue and kingdom plots.

  The breathtaking conclusion to the male/male Regency romance trilogy. “There was a definite poignancy in this friends-to-lovers story.” —The Novel Approach Reviews 
   
  London, 1822. Two of London’s most notorious rakehells, Linus Radcliffe and Robert Anderson, are the best of friends. They share almost everything—clothes, servants, their homes, and even each other’s bed on occasion. The one thing they don’t share: lovers. For while Linus prefers men, Robert prefers women . . . except when it comes to Linus. 
   
  As another Season nears its end, Robert can’t ignore his growing jealousy. He hates watching Linus disappear from balls to dally with other men. Women are lovely, but Linus rouses feelings he’s never felt with another. Unwilling to share his gorgeous friend another night, Robert has a proposition for Linus. 
   
  A proposition Linus flatly refuses—but not for the reasons Robert thinks. Still, Robert won’t take no for an answer. He sets out to prove a thing or two to his best friend—yet will learn something about the heart himself. 
   
  “I think Ava March does a nice job getting us invested in these characters in a short amount of time. As always, she writes emotional sex—scenes that make an impact.” —Smexy Books

  A privileged young woman finds romance with the English poet William Wordsworth and adventure amid the French Revolution in this debut historical novel. 
   
  Born into a world of wealth and pleasure, Annette Vallon enjoys the privileges of aristocracy, but a burning curiosity and headstrong independence set her apart from other women of her class. Spoiled by the novels of Rousseau, she refuses to be married unless it is for passion. Her stubborn devotion to her romantic principles bears the sweetest fruit when William Wordsworth, a young English poet, enters her life. She will be his mistress, his muse, his obsession. But theirs is a love that will test Annette in unexpected ways, bringing great joy and gravest peril in a dark time of chaos, upheaval, and death. 
   
  Set amid the terror and excitement of the French Revolution, Annette Vallon is an enthralling and evocative tale that captures the courageous spirit of a remarkable woman who, for too long, has been relegated to the shadows of history.

  A young astronomer in colonial Australia faces tragedy on the ground in this follow-up to the award-winning The Secret River—“A triumph. Read it at once” (The Sunday Times, UK).   A stunning follow-up to her Commonwealth Writers’ Prize-winning book, The Secret River, Grenville’s The Lieutenant is a gripping story of friendship, self-discovery, and the power of language set along the unspoiled shores of 1788 New South Wales, Australia.   As a boy, Daniel Rooke was an outsider. Ridiculed in school for his intellect and misunderstood by his parents, he finds a path for himself in the British Navy—and in his love for astronomy. As a young lieutenant, Daniel joins a voyage to Australia. And while his countrymen struggle to control their cargo of convicts and communicate with nearby Aboriginal tribes, Daniel constructs an observatory to chart the stars and begin the work he prays will make him famous.   Out on his isolated point, Daniel becomes involved with the local Aborigines, forging an intimate connection with one girl that will change the course of his life. But when his compatriots come into conflict with the indigenous population, Daniel must turn away from the stars and declare his loyalties on the ground.
