Three spicy tales of murder, betrayal, secrets, and suspense in this collection.   Palace Secrets: Love comes in many forms and always at a price. At twenty-three, Princess Isabella must settle down for the sake of her kingdom. Caught up in a secret affair with her lady-in-waiting, Hannah, the princess knows it can only last for so long.

Nothing for Lady Hannah is ever simple. One secret after another. The lies are mounting up. Lady Hannah has made a deal with the devil. Worse, she’s falling in love with him. There’s no turning back.   Grave Misfortune: Married to a gambler and drunk, Helene is the madam for a brothel, where she looks after her girls and services the clientele.
