    Summary

    "I do not desire mediocre love, Mr. Rafferty. I want to drown in someone."

    Ester Guinness, the youngest of the dynasty and twin to Edward, had grown up surrounded by copper kettles, ambition, and expectations heavier than iron. She knew three things with unwavering certainty:

    1. A woman of her station was rarely granted a choice in her future.
    2. Sean Rafferty-the brewery's brilliant foreman-was as forbidden as sin itself.
    3. Ester had never been skilled at keeping away from forbidden things.

    In the shadow of the roaring vats and the clamor of Dublin's 1860s expansion, Ester finds herself torn between the gilded path her family demands and the dangerous, intoxicating pull of the one man she cannot have. And as the Guinness empire rises, so too does the cost of desire.

    Summary

    With Jacob there were expectations. A silent, obedient wife who will not be the last one for her husband to take. A mother of many, born dead or alive, that would fill her womb with every passing season.

    The expectations had been branded into her skin until they welted up red. They had been carved deep into her bones, poisoning the marrow and hollowing her out. Laying heavy upon her shoulders during the day and deep within her heart at night. That became routine, became her life, until she felt as if she had drowned. As if Jacob had consumed her the moment she said, "I do."

    Summary

    Li Weiyoung does end up marrying for love in the end, just not how she had intended. If saving her beloved from execution means giving her hand to the ruthless Prince Nan’an, she would do so in every lifetime. Carrying out her revenge - and guarding her body and heart against her new betrothed - will take more cunning and willpower than surviving the Li household ever did.

    Summary

    "Your brother is...unruly. Yet, one cannot fight fire with fire. That much our forebears have taught us, Your Grace. We must fight fire with water, as it has been done for thousands of years."

    Daemon Targaryen and Clarice Hightower have never seen eye to eye. She looks down upon him for his fiery - some would say foolish - impulsivity, he mocks her for her careful - some would say craven - scheming. A common enemy finally binds them together but their alliance is built on the treacherous quicksand of the Red Keep. For now, they might need each other to play the most dangerous game of all, but so close to the sea, the wind changes quickly and loyalty or affection are luxuries players of this game simply cannot afford.
