When I went to work that day, I was not surprised when I was sent on a coffee run. I was absolutely shocked, however, to meet an incredible looking man at the coffee shop. I felt an instant connection to him, and I was overjoyed when I discovered that he was headed in my direction. I was even more surprised to discover that this man's father was married to my mother. I was crushed. I was certain that this connection could last forever, but now my hopes were shattered.

When I first arrived at my mother's reception, I never imagined that I would meet the most attractive man I had ever seen - dark hair, piercing eyes, and a lazy, confident smile.... There was no way I could resist him. I certainly never imagined that I would be having mind blowing sex with him in the art gallery upstairs. I never, ever imagined that my mother would make an announcement on that very same night that she had gotten married to his father. Of course, I was devastated. I could certainly never be sexually involved with my stepbrother....

James' classic "Number 13" starts off this volume with a mystery about a disappearing and reappearing hotel room, can you guess the room number?

A stranger rides across the Kentish countryside when his attention is called to a cottage where violence is being done to an elderly couple. The knight, for such he appears to be, rushes to their aid. Soon after, the strange and prophetic Sir Cesar appears on the scene and foretells of danger ahead. We follow this knight as he encounters an evil landowner; the good and faithful Longpole, son of the elderly couple; the beneficent Duke of Buckingham - or is he a traitor? - and the coquettish Lady Katrine.

The Hundred Years' War: a series of conflicts waged from 1337 to 1453 by the House of Plantagenet, rulers of England, against the House of Valois, rulers of France, over the succession to the French throne. It was a time of intrigue, plot, murder, and romance. Agnes Sorel, 20, became the favorite mistress of the King of France, wielding much influence and earning enemies. Her untimely death at the age of 28, just days after bearing him a fourth child, was blamed on dysentery. In this novel, we follow the trials of Jean Charost, secretary to the Duke of Orleans and brother of the king; and see how his life was entwined with that of the beautiful Agnes.

Art. The greatest standard bearer of what the human condition really is? Or emperor’s clothes, cheap gimmicks displayed as all-knowing? When it comes to writing we have our favourite authors. But what of the authors themselves? What are they keen to write of? For our classic authors, from Poe to Lovecraft, from Woolf to Fitzgerald, art in their words is something to be admired. From many angles, many views, their stories, their characters interact with art, and the consequences fall as they may.

In this work, set in 17th century France, we follow the adventures of young Louis, heir to the Count of Bigorre, after an encounter with the vindictive Marquis de Saint Brie forces him into exile. The tale wends its way inexorably towards the Battle of Marfee in the 30 years War and the death of the Count of Soissons in a failed coup against the much hated minister, Cardinal de Richelieu. Young love, a brush with the law, card sharks, a deadly avalanche - life is definitely interesting for the young adventurer.
