Book Basset

Adam de Guirande owes his lord, Roger Mortimer, much more than loyalty. He owes Lord Roger for his life and all his worldly goods, he owes him for his beautiful wife – even if Kit is not quite who she seems. When Lord Roger rises in rebellion, Adam has no choice but to ride with him – no matter what the ultimate cost may be.

England in 1321 is a confusing place. Edward II has been forced by his barons to exile his favourite, Hugh Despenser. The barons, led by the powerful Thomas of Lancaster, Roger Mortimer and Humphrey de Bohun, have reasons to believe they have finally tamed the king. But Edward is not about to take things lying down, and fate is a fickle mistress.

Adam fears his lord has over-reached, but at present Adam has other matters to concern him, first and foremost his new wife, Katherine de Monmouth.

Kit Courcy has the misfortune of being a perfect double of Katherine de Monmouth – which is why she finds herself coerced into wedding a man under a false name. What will Adam do when he finds out he has been duped?

Domestic matters become irrelevant when the king sets out to punish his rebellious barons. Soon Lord Roger and his men are fighting for their very lives. When hope splutters and dies, when death seems inevitable, it falls to Kit to save her man – if she can.

In the Shadow of the Storm is the first in Anna Belfrage’s series, The King’s Greatest Enemy, the story of a man torn apart by his loyalties to his lord, his king, and his wife.

All she wants is to save her family’s legacy, and keep the lights on at The Shell Shop.

After losing her husband, Julia Montgomery is just trying to keep her head above water. The bills are piling up, the sink won’t stop leaking, and her late husband’s beloved shell shop is collecting dust. She doesn’t know the first thing about shells — or running a business — but with her bank account running on fumes and her grown kids cheering her on, she knows it’s time to try.

With a little help from her family, a loyal best friend, and a charming British shell collector who shows up looking for a rare treasure, Julia rolls up her sleeves and dives in. Along the way, she uncovers her husband’s quirky shell-hiding system, makes a few hilarious missteps (including accidentally selling valuable specimens as art supplies), and starts to see herself — and her future — in a whole new light.

Set in the sun-soaked Florida keys, The Shell Shop is a heartfelt, hopeful story about starting over, leaning on the people who love you, and discovering that you’re stronger than you think — even when the tide feels like it’s pulling you under.

Come home to Pearl Beach — where every shell holds a secret, and every heart has a second chance.

In Pearl Beach, you’ll find strong women at every stage of life, second chances when they matter most, and the kind of friendships that stand the test of time. The Shell Shop Series is filled with heartfelt stories, unforgettable characters, and the kind of small-town charm that makes you want to linger — and read the next one.

Shortly after a corrupt attorney pays a visit to an inmate serving a life sentence in a federal supermax prison, people from the inmate’s past start to die.

Meanwhile, a simple divorce case turns out to be much more than meets the eye, as Bryce’s investigation of the defendant leads him down a path of international drug smuggling, money laundering, and violent henchmen bent on keeping him silent. The two storylines run parallel to one another until they eventually converge in a final bloody outcome.
