Heading to the docks, disguised as a lad to ease her escape, she encounters smooth-talking naval recruiter, Gilly, who lures her aboard HMS Discerning with promises of freedom and exploration in South America. When Grace's big mouth lands her bare-bottomed over a cannon for insubordination, her identity is exposed. The captain wants her back in London but his orders, to chart the icy archipelago of Tierra del Fuego, forbid it. Lieutenant Seamus Fitzwilliam gallantly offers to take Grace off the fretting captain's hands by placing her under his protection. Grace must now win over the crew she betrayed with her secret, while managing her feelings towards her taciturn protector, whose obstinate chivalry stifles her new-found independence. But when Grace disregards Lieutenant Fitzwilliam's warnings about the dangers of the unexplored archipelago, it costs a friend his life and she realises she is not as free as she believes.

Haunted and Hexed by Misty Bane Pdf

Welcome to Blackwood Bay, where both magic and murder have come out to play.Okay, if that had been on the sign when I drove into town, I probably would've thrown it in reverse and kept the pedal to the floor until I made it safely back to Las Vegas. Probably.Instead, I'd been lured in by the cute little beach town, a handful of instant friends, and a hunky local.In my defense, my life had pretty much just fallen apart. So, after learning that I'd inherited a bookstore from a grandmother that I never even knew existed, I was desperate to make this my fresh start. I daydreamed of being a successful business owner and spending my weekends wandering through Saturday Markets and reading on the beach. It was exactly what I needed. And what could possibly go wrong?Turns out, everything. The bodies start piling up along with my arrival in town and as a former private investigator, I really can't help but find myself drawn into doing a little investigating of my own. It also helps that the Police Sergeant is super hot... cliché, I know, but what's a girl to do?Things are much more complicated than they appear, and being new in town certainly has its disadvantages. No one is who they seem to be. Not even me.The only ones I can trust are the dead. Well, and my cat. But none of them are talking. Or are they?

Wolfskin by Juliet Marillier Pdf

Wolfskin is the first of a fantasy duet in The Light Isles series from Juliet Marillier, weaving history and folklore into a saga of adventure, romance, and magic. All young Eyvind ever wanted was to become a great Viking warrior--a Wolfskin--and perform honorable deeds out in the name of his War fathergod, Thor. He can think of no future more glorious. And the chance to make it happen is his when his older brother Ulf is brought the tale of a magical land across the sea, a place where men with courage could go to conquer a land and bring glory to themselves. They set out to find this fabled land and discover a windswept and barren place, but one filled with unexpected beauty and hidden treasures... and a people who are willing to share their bounty. Ulf's new settlement begins in harmony with the natives of the isles led by the gentle king Engus. And Eyvind finds a treasure of his own in the young Nessa, niece of the king, seer, and princess. His life will change forever as she claims his heart for her own. But someone has come along to this new land who is not what he seems. Eyvind's heartfriend, Somerled, the strange and lonely boy Eyvind befriended so long ago has a secret--and his own plans for the future. The blood oath that they swore in childhood binds them in lifelong loyalty, and Somerled is calling in the debt of honor. What he asks might just doom Evyind to kill the only thing that he has ever truly loved. Will the price of honor create the destruction of all that Eyvind holds dear?
