Love stories. Can an everyday girl live in a fairytale world...? When Bella falls for a gorgeous man at a party, she's furious with herself when she realises that she forgot to get his number. Or find out anything about him at all. Her only hope is that he's the one who picked up her phone, which she dropped when she left the party. Crossing her fingers, Bella makes the call that will change her life for ever. Because Prince Richard, heir to the throne, did pick up her phone, and he, like her, has fallen head over heels in love. Suddenly Bella is catapulted into a world where she needs to use the correct cutlery at all times, she must never have a bad hair day, and her favourite Top Shop outfit is not an option. Can an ordinary girl like her survive the preparations for her very own Royal Wedding?

Book Description
In The Assassination of the Archduke, Greg King and Sue Woolmans offer readers a vivid account of the lives - and cruel deaths - of Franz Ferdinand and his beloved Sophie. Combining royal biography, romance, and political assassination, the story unfolds against a backdrop of glittering privilege and an Imperial Court consumed with hatred, taking readers from Bohemian castles to the horrors of Nazi concentration camps in a compelling, fascinating human drama. As moving as the fabled romance of Nicholas and Alexandra, as dramatic as Mayerling, Sarajevo resonates with love and loss, triumph and tragedy in a vibrant and powerful narrative. It lays bare the lethal circumstances surrounding that fateful Sunday morning in 1914, examining not only the Serbian conspiracy that killed Franz and Sophie and sparked the First World War but also insinuations about the hidden powers in Vienna that may well have sent them to their deaths. With a Foreword from the Archduke's great-granddaughter, Princess Sophie von Hohenberg, and drawing on a wide variety of unpublished sources and with unique access to previously restricted Hungarian and Czech archives, including Sophie's diaries and family papers, King and Woolmans have written the most comprehensive account of this momentous event available in English. In doing so, they offer readers an intriguing and startlingly revisionist look at this most famous of Archdukes, his family, and their momentous collision with destiny in 1914.

Book Description
In a nineteenth-century Britain shaped by magicks both ancient and new, three uneasy heroes find themselves caught in the plots of a foreign nation, with their lives—and loves—at risk... Sophie Marshall, Princess Royal of Britain and the only woman student at Oxford, wants nothing more than to learn without constant scrutiny. When her husband, Gray, is invited to teach shapeshifting in more equitable Alba, she leaps at the chance for more freedom. Still, Alba has problems of its own, warns Joanna, her sister who’s apprenticing in statecraft: famine, unrest, and divisive news to come. And Sophie isn’t the only scholar with secrets. The Marshalls’ delight in exploring a lively, cosmopolitan university community is shadowed with rumors no one will discuss: of clan upheavals, strange powers from the land, blights on crops and livestock. When she and Gray are forced to separate, Sophie questions even her own suspicions. But once Joanna arrives in Alba with her mercurial friend, Gwendolen, the danger is past doubting. Armed only with subtlety, cleverness, and outrageous daring, the women will have to travel through a hostile countryside, find Gray, and root out a conspiracy that threatens their survival—and Alba’s future. Praise for Lady of Magick: “Another intriguing fantasy set in an alternate history version of Regency-era Europe.” — Library Journal “The second installment in Hunter’s Noctis Magicae series will attract both familiar and new readers. ... A new twist in every chapter will keep readers desperately turning pages until the end.” — RT Book Reviews "Fans of Robin McKinley will enjoy this one as well. ... The author did a wonderful job continuing the story. With magic, romance, and mystery this is sure to make your toes curl.” — Night Owl Book Reviews “Fans of fantasy and romance need look no further than Sylvia Izzo Hunter’s Lady of Magick for an entertaining read full of royal intrigue, daringly disobedient young ladies, and regional politics ... 5 Stars – Stay up All Night” — Read Now, Sleep Later
