Five years ago, Corin Cadence’s brother entered the Serpent Spire — a colossal tower with ever-shifting rooms, traps, and monsters. Those who survive the spire’s trials return home with an attunement: a mark granting the bearer magical powers. According to legend, those few who reach the top of the tower will be granted a boon by the spire’s goddess. He never returned. Now, it’s Corin’s turn. He’s headed to the top floor, on a mission to meet the goddess.

Perdita's name means "one who is thrown away." It was given to her by Lord Ambourne, a noble who bought her on the eve of her execution for being a notorious pirate's mistress. But Perdita is hiding a noble lineage of her own. Until she knows what this lord intends to do with her, she pretends to be airheaded and unable to speak. But as the two get to know each other, they inevitably feel drawn to one another. Despite the lord's plan, a nearly impossible love begins to bloom.

Till death us do part. A solemn wedding vow, and one Lord Deverell's young bride ardently wishes to bring about - sooner rather than later!

He thinks she’s a governess…but she’s actually the new owner of the estate! Having inherited a big estate on the outskirts of London, Octavia is lighthearted as she sets out to see the property.

Confused, Octavia is led by the sisters to meet their uncle Edward Barraclough, who believes she has come seeking a job as a governess… Little does he know she’s actually the new owner!

On the trail to find out the truth of who is a real traitor, Alexandra and Richard are doubly undercover. First, they’ve entered into a marriage only as part of a contract, and second, Alexandra’s been masquerading as a man to sneak into places proper women dare not enter. Despite these disguises, will they be able to show their true selves to each other?
