Hidden Library

Candle light turned the heavy drapes black. Worthless for Chas to escape when he was dressed in dove-grey silk. He cast about desperately for a place to hide from Phoenix Tanzer, the man who wouldn't take no.Really, if Chas only knew why Phoenix was so determined to marry him, whether he willed it or not, he could find a way out of the situation. But he was trapped, had no hope and was going to have to stab Phoenix to escape. He just knew it.Until Jade Bulgarelli gave Chas a glimpse of hope and opened up a whole new way to escape for both Chas and Jade. Meyari McFarland has been telling stories since she was a small child. Her stories range from SF and Fantasy adventures to Romances but they always feature strong characters who do what they think is right no matter what gets in their way. Her series range from Space Opera Romance in the Drath series to Epic Fantasy in the Mages of Tindiere world. Other series include Matriarchies of Muirin, the Clockwork Rift Steampunk mysteries, and the Tales of Unification urban fantasy stories, plus many more. You can find all of her work on MDR Publishing's website at www.MDR-Publishing.com. In a world not quite like ours, courtiers plot and mages scheme to gain the ultimate power. Between them and victory stands the corps of the Hidden Library. Spies, assassins, courtesans and more, each brings their unique skills to bear under the Queen of Darkness, aka Lady Abaddon.Few know the Queen of Darkness, but all fear her and her right-hand man, the Queen's Spear who is never seen unless you are soon to die. Chas Abaddon, sweet-faced heir to Lady Abaddon could never possibly be the Queen's Spear. Of course not.Chas will ensure the kingdom's safety against all threats, if he can only make it through the latest ridiculous party without exposing just who and what he really is.

Jade Bulgarelli kept his chin high, his pace firm and his expression blank as he marched out of Castle Manor. Uncle Badr's refusal to accept Jade, yet again, would have been devastating if not for Chas Abaddon.Lovely, sweet Chas who looked like an angel while hiding the skills of a spy and assassin behind his baby-face. Going to stay with Chas was a respite from Uncle Badr's abuse.Until it turned into so much more. Because Chas offered Jade not just escape. He offered freedom, hope and, if Jade was lucky, love.

Madison hummed as she turned the stone over in her hands. The blue-green crystal felt heavy for its size. And warm, especially compared to the frost on the windowpanes or the hip-deep snow piling outside her workshop.She wanted to run away from it. Lady Leighton's commission was a danger, how Madison didn't know, but it was deadly.The storm rising outside her workshop wound together with the stone and the commission into a trap that threatened not just Madison's life and magic but the safety of the entire country as well.
