As Tilly steps through the still and silent house, untouched and fully furnished after all these years, the impossible happens to her. Dazed and confused, she struggles to comprehend that she is no longer in 2019, but suddenly standing inside the cottage in 1869 - and is caught by the aforementioned recluse, Nicholas Clay. While Tilly faces the obstacles preventing her from going back home, she also has to adjust to the sudden change of living in the 19th century.

AS WELL AS BOOK ONE, PRINCESS OF CANDOR, AND BOOK TWO, PRINCESS OF CALAMITY!♦ It's 1802, and Cordelia is aboard a boat supposedly headed for Spain, and then on towards home; but her would-be fiancé, Thomas, has re-routed the ship towards America, as he has been working undercover for a foe who seeks vengeance on Cordelia. Upon discovering the identity of said foe--a former enemy Cordelia had hoped to never see or hear of again--she realizes all she has is Helen, who has been at her side since the moment they left Totresia. Plot-twists and intense spins see Cordelia and Helen captives on the sea, then on the coast, then inland, before they're even given any hope of *maybe* making it back to Torrinni in one piece. And even if they do, how will Antoine react to their intimate bond, and the evident love that has blossomed between them? - Princess of Calamity (#2 PRINCESS series-part of the GOLDEN UNIVERSE)✔ Complete

**THE PRINCESS SERIES is part of the GOLDEN UNIVERSE, and considered a sequel to THE GOLDEN QUEEN/A BRAZEN LOVE** ♦YOU MUST HAVE READ THE GOLDEN UNIVERSE NOVELS AND THE BRAZEN NOVELS TO READ THIS SERIES! AS WELL AS BOOK ONE, PRINCESS OF CANDOR!♦ In 1801, Cordelia, the Princess of Totresia, sick of her brother's hissy fits about her season and his anger at her secrets, left Torrinni, venturing into France to find a new life of adventure. But that adventure takes a turn in early 1802, after she finds herself in a worse predicament--captured by a fierce ally of General Napoleon, who wants to use her as a bargaining chip to buy (or steal) Totresia from King Antoine. Thanks to Thomas Barns, she is smuggled out of the Baroness' claws, and arrives in England. She finds that she has many allies here, but not all of them believe who she is. Even with Helen to vouch for her--daughter of a prominent Earl in the area--Cordelia's hosts are forced to summon British royals to inspect her, verify her identity. Amidst the chaos of nobles coming and going, lavish parties, and gossip, Cordelia realizes she's put herself in another predicament--by letting her heart beat for not one, but two people; one of which is a woman, and that is taboo. Can Cordelia navigate these feelings and make sense of them before they lead her astray? And can she convince her British hosts of who she is, and make it safely home to Antoine before he shuns her for her mistakes? - Princess of Candor (#1 PRINCESS series-part of the GOLDEN UNIVERSE)✔ Complete

**THE PRINCESS SERIES is part of the GOLDEN UNIVERSE, and considered a sequel to THE GOLDEN QUEEN/A BRAZEN LOVE** ♦YOU MUST HAVE READ THE GOLDEN UNIVERSE NOVELS AND THE BRAZEN NOVELS TO READ THIS SERIES!♦ Cordelia, the Princess of Totresia, has always lived in the shadow of her brother, King Antoine of Totresia, and her other siblings Sébastien and Jules. But now, in 1801, with all three married and settled and happy, everyone is focused on her--and she hates the unwanted, annoying attention. Everyone screams for her to marry, to form alliances, to give more positive light to her deceased betrayer of a father's memory. But she sees no way to fix the current state of things through her own union; Totresia and Giroma are still fighting each other, the Giromians are still rebelling against Marguerite's reign and marriage to Antoine, England and France hate each other, and there are wars on the sea, directed by a rising country across the ocean. And not to mention most of Europe is watching in anticipation as France--Napoleon--digs its claws everywhere, and continues to have dangerous sights on Totresia. Unwilling to participate in the maddening drama of her family and its hopes for treaties with surrounding countries, Cordelia makes her own plans--and they'll backfire in fiercer ways than she ever imagined. - Training the Marquess Complete

The place is London. Mistress Rosalind Hayes is a courtesan, raised in an orphan asylum and later tutored by one of the most respected courtesans of the time.

When Rose meets the Thompson siblings; Jules, a navy captain, and Alice, his spirited younger sister, the trio form an easy kinship.
