The boys are determined to break out of prison, but they don’t consider the frightening consequences of making a run for it. When Tarvis arrives at Alpha Correctional Center, he ignites a plan that ringleader Jesse Allen has been cooking up.

As the plan rolls out, their teacher, Caroline McBride, knows something is up, but she doesn’t know what. The air is tense. At odds with the cruel deputy staff, she and William Bonner, the counselor—and her lover—hear the rumblings, but they can’t stop the inevitable. The big blow up. The escape. But freedom is as elusive as a dream.

Twenty years ago. A plane crash. Three women survivors inexorably connected by fate, destiny, and a cause.

Did you know that lap babies (children under the age of two) are instructed to be placed on the floor of a plane during an emergency? Sounds crazy, but it’s true.

Julie Geiger, a flight attendant, told five sets of parents to do just that. Now she must live with the consequences. Will changing the rules bring her healing and forgiveness? And where does love fit into her life now?

Marie Stanley lost her baby boy on that flight. And she knows exactly who to blame. Julie. The problem is that vindictiveness festers. And eats into your soul. How will Marie learn to move past her hate and save her marriage in the process?

Paige Montgomery, the lap baby who survived the flight, would love to forget it ever happened. After all, she’s happy. And she’s on the cusp of a new relationship. How will she learn to forge her own path, one that integrates all the elements of her past, including the crash, the loss of her parents, and her subsequent adoption?

With her parents and brother missing and presumed dead, Grand Duchess Olga Romanova must keep her younger sisters safe. The Bolsheviks are determined to eliminate any remaining holdovers from the tsarist regime, hunting down the last Romanovs and putting them to death. Now living in England, the Romanov sisters remain hidden to protect their identities, even as isolation strains their relationships.

But they can’t distance themselves from the world forever.

Olga learns that a peer of the realm has accused the late Empress Alexandra of betraying Russia and her allies during the Great War. Under the spell of the scheming Grigori Rasputin, Alexandra disclosed military secrets to the enemy. If this rumor becomes a part of the historical record, it will destroy her mother’s reputation and her sisters’ futures.

Disguised as “Olivia,” a wartime nurse turned maid, Olga accepts a position in Lord Hammond’s household. There, she works to discover the truth about her mother. When Olga meets his lordship’s heir—an alluring but enigmatic veteran—her situation grows even more precarious. The more she learns about the tragedies of his past, the more complicated and dangerous their connection, and her own family’s legacy, turns out to be.

An introvert in an extroverted world.

Being awkward and feeling anxious is a part of growing up. It’s accepted and expected.

This is a story of never quite fitting in, of worrying too much, and the ever-increasing voice of the inner critic.

Part love story, part self-love story.

Midnight Masquerade (The Brightley Sisters Book 1) by Halley Larkin

웃+유=❤♥ ~ BOOK SPOTLIGHT SHOWCASE ~ ♥❤=유+웃
Midnight Masquerade (The Brightley Sisters Book 1) by Halley Larkin
Genre – Historical Romance, Historical Fiction, Women’s Fiction
Page Count – 315
Cover Designer – JS Designs
Charmaine Brightley will soon lose her place in the world. Her father is ill and when he passes, a distant male cousin will inherit the family estate. In the meantime, London society flocks to Charmaine’s lavish parties and gaming tables, all designed to raise money for the “deserving” poor. If the ton ever discovered the true beneficiaries of their philanthropy, the revelation would ruin Charmaine and shame her family.
Not that Charmaine cares what anyone thinks. Ever since her devastating first season, she has given up on love. As far as Charmaine is concerned, passion is a ridiculous dream, meant only for the young and foolish. Until a dashing stranger appears at her midsummer masquerade.
After an ill-fated duel, Duke Konstantin “Kosta” Rostov was forced to abandon Russia for England. For a man accustomed to privilege and power, nothing is worse than indentured servitude to a cruel stepfather. Determined to restore both his reputation and that of the family he shamed, Kosta sneaks away to a masquerade ball at Cortwood Manor, where he meets the alluring Charmaine Brightley.
For years, Kosta restricted his amorous affairs to women who were discreet, worldly, and married. Despite the thrilling connection between them, Kosta understands he has no place in Lady Charmaine’s life. When his stepfather sends him back to Cortwood, however, Kosta can’t resist the opportunity to see her one more time. Even if it means spying on her for his stepfather. Even if he must continue to hide his true identity.
Reunited, Kosta and Charmaine find their mutual desire catches fire. But Kosta’s stepfather has his own reasons for pushing them together. And those plans could destroy Charmaine Brightley, the woman who has finally captured Kosta’s heart.

I write historical romance with contemporary attitude. My forthcoming series features free-spirited sisters facing the loss of an estate they love, but cannot inherit. Along the way, their fates are entangled with those of a disgraced duke, a missing heir, and a brash young earl: gentlemen with passion in their hearts and complicated pasts. Think Downton Abbey meets Bridgerton with a hint of magic in the mix. 🙂

As a reader, I can’t resist witty novels with sexual tension, dark secrets, and suspenseful twists. My favorite authors include Courtney Milan, Philippa Gregory, Alyssa Cole, Gillian Flynn, George R.R. Martin, and Lisa See. When I’m not reading or writing, you might find me planning a costume for the next San Diego Comic-Con. I live in California with a spoiled tabby cat named Jonesy.
