This marriage may be her salvation. Or her doom. Julia Woodrow possesses nothing but a name tainted by her mother’s scandal, so she hasn’t a clue why Gabriel, Baron Arevale, offers to wed her after one chance meeting. However, to escape her abusive father, Julia is prepared to risk anything. Even marriage to this enigmatic stranger. They’ll become acquainted after the wedding, surely? Except their union brings more questions than answers. Passion burns beneath Gabriel’s cool exterior, igniting Julia’s own desires, yet he seems determined to keep her at arm’s length. Why did he marry her, when he has no use for a wife? Why won’t he speak about his past? And how can he suffer a deadly wound, then wake the next day as though nothing happened? Deringham, his ancient estate, is straight from a fairytale. A remote castle, nestled in the woods, where the locals tell tales of dark deeds and monsters from times long past. But the monsters aren’t just tales. Unnatural creatures haunt the castle after dark, showing a dreadful interest in Julia. A sinister force is stalking her, and the husband she’s falling for knows more than he’ll say. Grim secrets lie in Deringham, waiting to be unearthed. They could bring Julia undying love—or bury her. The Baron's Demons is a gothic romantic fantasy.

George MacDonald's complete trilogy, consisting of 'The Curate's Awakening,' 'The Lady's Confession,' and 'The Baron's Apprenticeship,' is a masterpiece of Victorian Scottish literature. Written in the mid-1800s, the trilogy follows the spiritual journeys of three different characters, each grappling with their own moral dilemmas and personal growth. MacDonald's poetic prose and vivid imagery transport readers to a bygone era, capturing the essence of Victorian society in a compelling narrative style. The trilogy explores themes of faith, redemption, and the complexities of human nature, making it a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant read. George MacDonald's nuanced characterization and philosophical depth elevate the trilogy to a work of enduring literary significance. Drawing from his own experiences as a preacher and theologian, MacDonald infuses the narrative with profound insights into the human condition and the nature of belief. His writing reflects a deep understanding of spiritual matters and a compassionate perspective on life's struggles, making the trilogy a profound exploration of morality and personal transformation. I highly recommend George MacDonald's complete trilogy to readers seeking a rich and immersive literary experience that delves into the complexities of the human soul.

Mister Olsen, sir, Julian said, his voice trembling, youve said nothing about Lady or her puppies. Do I dare ask what you mean to do? Julian, its been on my mind ever since I got here. Lady has followed me everywhere Id let her go, and the puppies are too precious for words. I cant decide whats best to do. By the way, I havent seen Lady this morning. I wonder where she is. Pardon me, Mister Olsen, Paul Interrupted, but I happened to overhear what you said. I think the decision has already been made for you. Ladys outside, sitting in the buggy seat, waiting for you and Jack. With tears in his eyes, Julian asked, Please, Mister Olsen, Id like to tell her good-bye. May I walk out with you, sir? Of course, you may, Julian, Oliver replied, hugging the man and fighting tears himself. You will keep one of her puppies, wont you? Oh yes, sir, I will keep the little girl and do my best to raise her to be like her mother. Ill call her Tina. Halfway down the driveway, Oliver spoke to Jack, When you get to the pike, stop for a minute. I want to take a last look behind us. A few minutes later, Jack stopped. Oliver and Lady got out and stood in the roadway a few minutes. He shed tears while the beautiful red Labrador whined for her puppies. We cant have this, Lady, Oliver said to his dog. If we stand here any longer, well both change our mind. Come on, girl. Lets go home to Kentucky. Bill Conner Author

Bestselling author Lynn Morris weaves an inspirational Regency era romance rich in period detail. When her stepfather suddenly dies, Valeria Segrave finds she must take charge of her grieving mother and the vast estate which now belongs to her six-year-old half brother, the new Earl of Maledon. Though capable, Valeria is frustrated to find each day brings a new struggle as she tries to establish her authority with servants, stewards, and solicitors-all men. As a young woman with no blood relation to the earl, they are all too ready to dismiss her. Much to her chagrin, she must rely on the assistance of her stepfather's distant kinsman, Alastair, Lord Hylton. He is handsome and noble, and Valeria senses under the veneer of his gentlemanly behavior that she never measures up to his expectations of a refined lady. In light of that, accepting his help and feeling under a burden of gratitude to him is almost unbearable. Even when Valeria leaves the country estate for the glittering London Season, where she gets into a series of escapades, Lord Hylton is always there to witness, criticize, and correct her behavior. But if Alastair insists on engaging in a battle of wits and wills with the lively Valeria, she'll stop at nothing to prove that he's met his match.
