Please resume your former dark, ominous terrors at your earliest convenience. --Mgmt Evie Sage has never been happier to be the assistant to The Villain. Who would have thought that working for an outrageously handsome (shhh, bad for his brand) evil overlord would be so rewarding? Still, the business of being bad is demanding, the forces of good are annoyingly persistent, and said forbidding boss is somewhat...er, out-of-evil-office. But Rennedawn is in grave trouble, and all signs--Kingsley's included--point to catastrophe. Something peculiar is happening with the kingdom's magic, and it's made The Villain's manor vulnerable to their enemies...including their nemesis, the king. Now it's time for Evie to face her greatest challenge: protecting The Villain's lair, all of his nefarious works, and maybe (provided no one finds out) the entire kingdom. No pressure, Evie. It's time to step out of her comfort zone and learn new skills. Like treason. Dagger work. Conspiring with the enemy. It's all so...so...delightfully fun. But what happens when the assistant to The Villain is ready to become his apprentice?

Lauraburtonauthor Be my Sweet Valentine Bundle
Because sometimes the person who loves you best… is you. Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s, or treating yourself to a well-deserved moment of indulgence, this bundle is designed to make you feel cherished, seen, and spoiled. ABOUT THE BOOKS Flirting with My Enemy: Her family bakery is her life. His billion-dollar empire is a threat. Let the battle (and the flirting) begin. Elle is living her dream, running her mother’s beloved bakery in the heart of New York—until a charming British billionaire opens a sleek, high-end bakery right next door. Suddenly, business is crumbling, customers are vanishing, and Elle is convinced her too-handsome rival is out to ruin her. Determined to fight back, she hatches a plan to get inside information—because what’s that saying? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it is to remember why she’s supposed to hate him… especially when toe-curling kisses and unexpected sparks keep getting in the way. Married to My Boss: One year. One million dollars. One very grumpy boss. For ten long years, Peyton has endured working for Mr. Rockwood, the world’s grumpiest (and richest) man. Just when she thinks she’s finally getting a promotion, he hits her with a different kind of contract—a marriage contract. One year of no intimacy, no strings attached, and a million-dollar payday. Simple, right? Except nothing about waking up in Vegas, wearing nothing but her boss’s shirt and a wedding ring, feels simple. With zero memory of the night before, a mischievous talking parrot stirring up chaos, and a husband who growls things like "Who did this to you?" and "Get your hands off my wife," Peyton quickly realizes this fake marriage might just be a disaster waiting to happen… or the best mistake of her life. The Terrible Personal Shopper: When an ordinary girl covers for her best friend's new gig, she doesn’t expect to come face-to-face with Hollywood’s hottest leading man. Leila Scott is supposed to take fashion notes—not get flustered while measuring Blaze Hopkins’ridiculously perfect body. But when the A-lister offers her a once-in-a-lifetime job—joining him on his international press tour—she’s thrown into a whirlwind of glitz, glamour… and total panic. Leila has no clue how to be a personal shopper, let alone keep her cool around her longtime crush. With cameras flashing, fans swooning, and a dangerously charming movie star watching her every move, she’s about to learn that pretending to be a pro is easy—pretending not to fall for him? Impossible. The Makeover Surprise: One makeover. One ridiculous assignment. One totally oblivious businessman. Lucy Scott has always been a comfort-over-fashion kind of girl, but when her boss dangles the dream job of her own column, she’s willing to trade Uggs for stilettos—at least for one high-stakes makeover photoshoot. But the night before the big transformation, she has an unexpected run-in with a mysteriously handsome businessman who comes to her rescue. Sparks? Maybe. Recognition the next day when she bumps into him in full glam mode? Absolutely not. Now, Lucy’s mission is set: prove a point, get her article, and maybe—just maybe—make the guy fall for her real self. Armed with questionable dating advice from her sisters and a whole lot of awkward charm, she’s about to find out if love is really just a matter of style… or if it’s something much deeper. The New Girl Next Door: She’s crushing on her next-door neighbor. He’s the single dad of one of her students. His ex-wife? Her boss. Kindergarten teacher Chessy Scott has always believed in fate, but when she finds out her grumpy, off-limits neighboris the father of one of her students, she’s starting to think the universe is playing a cruel joke. Every time she tries to get close to him, he shuts her down—until one fateful night when she’s ambushed in the shower by a giant spider and her brooding neighbor storms in, shirtless, wielding an axe, and ready to save the day. Suddenly, the walls between them start to crumble. But falling for him comes with consequences—his ex-wife is the school principal, and one wrong move could cost Chessy her job.

BooksCloud Beautiful Things: Deluxe Limited Edition - Paperback
Report copyright infringementby Emily Rath (Author)DELUXE LIMITED EDITION FIRST PRINTING featuring stenciled edges, two full pieces of full color character art, designed chapter headers and inside covers, and front cover soft touch with spot gloss--while supplies last! Crashing a country house party in Regency England, an intrepid young woman is drawn into the orbit of three delicious gentlemen in this slow burn, very sexy, definitely-not-your-mother's historical romance from internationally bestselling author Emily Rath. At twenty-two, Rosalie Harrow is unmarried and near destitute. She has two choices: snag a wealthy gentleman, or take work as a governess. Neither option appeals to headstrong Rosalie, who sees both futures as a kind of cage. When Rosalie receives an invitation to Alcott Hall, she believes she's there to meet the Dowager Duchess of Norland, the mysterious childhood friend of her late mother. Instead, Rosalie is thrust in the middle of a house party of eligible high society ladies all desperate to win the hand of the new, conveniently single duke. Hilarity ensues as Rosalie dodges the attentions of the officious duke, and weathers the censure of the other guests, all while trying to unravel the mystery of her invitation. And then there's the gentlemen... The more Rosalie tries to avoid the high society husband hunt, the more she finds herself charmed by three very different men. There's Lord James, the duke's younger brother, who is the secret duke in all but name. Lieutenant Renley, recently returned from the West Indies, and begrudgingly looking for a wife of his own. And the tempestuous Mr. Burke, who irks Rosalie to no end. The clock ticks down the days to the Michaelmas ball, when the duke is set to announce his bride. Marriage is a trap and Rosalie will not be easily snared...but that doesn't mean she can't enjoy the chase while it lasts.Author BiographyEMILY RATH is a New York Times and internationally bestselling author whose chart-topping, sex-positive, queer-inclusive novels include the Second Sons Regency romances, the Tuonela Duet fantasy novels, and the Why Choose Tiktok sensation, the Jacksonville Rays Hockey Romances.
