She awakens in a Cthulhu world with hazy recollections. Danger lurks and stalks her from the beginning. The steam era of the nineteenth century greeted her at the gates of hell.

He was raised to have nothing but was born to have everything. Now he's working as a security inside the empire that was stolen from him and falling for the one woman he's not allowed to want. Adrian Cole just learned he's the real Langford heir, switched at birth and erased from his own inheritance. Instead of exposing the truth, he infiltrates the family as their new head of security, patient enough to wait for the right moment to take back what's his. He doesn't expect Mira Langford, overlooked, underestimated, engaged to the brother who took Adrian's place to be the one person who sees him clearly. When his ex-wife resurfaces with the son he never knew existed, fleeing danger Adrian unknowingly works for, his careful plants starts collapsing in every direction at once. Now he's a father, a fraud, and dangerously in love with a woman he's forbidden to touch and the truth, once it comes out, will cost him everything he's fighting to protect.

He said yes before he even knew the question. Desmond Hale had one night to save his daughter and nothing left to sell. A stranger’s voice offered him a quarter million dollars, no questions asked. He took the deal. By morning he’s in handcuffs for a murder he didn’t commit, betrayed by the woman he trusted most. Then the cuffs come off. No trial. No explanation. Just an old man who tells him his real father left behind a fortune worth billions, and Desmond is the last heir standing to claim it. But claiming a crown means claiming enemies, and the one woman he can’t stop thinking about is about to marry a stranger to save her family, unaware she already belongs to him. Six years ago. One courthouse. A marriage no one ever undid. He walked in wearing handcuffs. He’s walking out wearing a name powerful enough to burn it all down.
