She was sold to settle a debt. Now she’s ready to reclaim her life—on her own terms.
In The Courtesan’s Christmas Redemption, written
by Kathy L. Wheeler, Faustina Clara, once one of the eight jewels of Miss
Greensley’s School, has spent the last four years as the enigmatic mistress of
the mysterious London hell known as La Sous Rose.
Through wit and will, she’s carved out a
life of independence and power. But when a ghost from her past resurfaces to threaten
all she’s built—as well as the seven other women she calls sisters—Faustina
must confront secrets she believed long buried in the icy depths of the Thames.
Henry Ashcombe, her fiercest protector and
most persistent suitor, has vowed to uncover the truth and keep Faustina
safe—even if it means risking his heart and his own secrets. But the closer
they get to the truth, the more dangerous their world becomes.
Sometimes the heart leads where the crown cannot follow.
In The Princess’s Christmas Romp, by
Amanda McCabe, a blizzard strands the Queen’s daughter, in London just days
before the annual Christmastide fête at la Sous Rose. Seizing the opportunity
to escape royal duty, Princess Augusta dons a maid’s apron if only for a bit of
fun and relief from the tedium associated with being a royal. She doesn't know
her royal parents have sent someone to guard her over the holidays.
What starts as a lark becomes a lesson in
freedom—and attraction—when the unflappable Sir Brent Spencer mistakes her for
a clever new hire, not the princess he's meant to protect. But as their mutual secrets
pile up faster than snow on the eaves, their growing feelings could melt more
than their covers. Brent knows what he wants but with Augusta’s heart hanging
in the balance, she must choose between the life she was born into—or the one
she’s only just begun to imagine...
Our
Review: Volume 4 of Gaming Hell Christmas offers a most fitting end
to the adventures of the Greensley Girls—bringing closure to the most
mysterious of the eight women who as young teenagers forged long standing bonds
that withstood the passage of time—and whatever life chose to throw at each.
Faustina has more guts and grit than any
ten women of that time and age while Augusta, who dreams of a “normal” life,
understands and accepts what is expected of her—until life, as it always will,
tosses a monkey into the works. Do Not Miss this entire series. It’s a
winner.
