Trading the mysterious time marbles to survive, Violet and her robotic companion, Jackdaw, seek to find a cure to their dying home.

"Every secret has its shadows. How far will one woman go to step into the light?
In the shadowy streets of Hull, Paige Carrigan forges a new life, haunted by a past that refuses to stay buried. Orphaned and once entrapped by an abusive ex, but now eerily close to freedom, she finds solace in her writing and in a local group filled with secrets of their own.
As Paige’s first proofreading client draws her into an enthralling yet unsettling romance, a sinister text shatters her fragile peace: You can run but you can’t hide.
With every new chapter she writes, the line between fiction and reality blurs, exposing a web of deceit spun by those she trusts most.
Will Paige unmask the truth before her life mirrors her own tragic tales?
More Fool Me is a gripping psychological thriller where trust is a double-edged sword, and survival is penned in betrayal."
"From a New York Times bestselling author: a second chances, enemies-while-lovers reunion romance where nothing is as it first appears, and everyone’s motives are suspect…
Olive Harper's family has been feuding with the Westons for decades. The Westons’ stud farm is the biggest, but the Harpers’ is the most famous... and she's the sole heiress. Or was, until her father brokers a truce by offering the Weston heir the Harper farm. The only way to get it back is to marry the knave who kissed her and humiliated her, twice—or prove to her father that some rifts can never be healed.
Scholar and botanist Elijah Weston is dreadful at feuding. For one, he prefers horticulture to horses. For two, he's been desperately in love with his mortal enemy ever since he kissed her—and, yes, publicly destroyed her—all those years ago. When he's given ten days to win Olive's heart, he arrives with marriage license in hand. But where lies and double-crosses abound, how can lifelong rivals learn to trust their hearts?

"A gleefully improper romp between a buttoned-up blacksmith and a spinster who loves racy novels, from a New York Times bestselling author:
Meg Church adores two things: life in a village of perennial Yuletide, and the freedom of being a spinster with no reputation to protect. Oh, very well, three things: She’s harbored a secret tendre for Christmas curmudgeon Lucien le Duc since the moment she first glimpsed him. But the sexy blacksmith won’t give her the time of day, much less a night of torrid passion.
Ever since Lucien le Duc was forced to flee his beloved France during the revolution, his all-consuming goal has been to recover not only his lost land and fortune, but also his rightful place among the French aristocracy. He would never be distracted by an English dairy maid’s sultry glances… or her soul-consuming kisses… or the temptation to turn one night into forever…
