At the close of a disappointing London Season, Lady Juliette Devereaux accepts an invitation to a September house party in Sussex without much enthusiasm. Although she is heiress to the vast country estate of Chaceley, she has received no offers of marriage-and cannot imagine why. Known for her decisiveness and common sense, Juliette views marriage as a necessary arrangement, yet her search for a husband to help her run Chaceley has so far been fruitless. If she would only listen, her closest friends could tell her that her pragmatic approach to marriage isn't very fashionable-and neither are her clothes, for Juliette's brilliantly-hued gowns reveal a stubborn individuality and an unwillingness to follow anyone's council but her own. When the Marquess of Barham arrives in Sussex at the same house party, he is deeply in debt and has been banished from his ancestral home-and stubbornly refuses to do anything that might be considered remotely sensible. Juliette's prompt dismissal of the Marquess only piques his interest in her, and her refusal to consider him only complicates matters when it turns out he has a very practical answer to her problems-and his own.
Archangel Blues is the senses-shattering conclusion to the award-winning Hellflower Trilogy. In our latest exciting installment, Captain Butterflies-are-Free Peace Sincere, her underage homicidal sidekick Baijon Stardust, and the not-quite stowaway and part-time spy Berathia Notevan, flee the deep-space station called Toystore instants before it is destroyed. With her ship's navicomp blanked, Butterfly's only choice is to rely on Archive--the copy of an Old Fed Library that is currently eating her brain--for the good numbers to fly Ghost Dance to safety. Archive's idea of a safe space is the Capitol of the Old Federation, and things go downhill from there, because on jump later, Buttefly and Ziggy find themselves in Thronespace, listening to the Prince-Elect of the Phoenix Empire making them an offer they can't refuse.
It was through no fault of her own that Lady Louisa Darwen had spent most of her formative years in the harem of the Grand Seraglio at Constantinople, and from the moment young, unconventional Louisa enters London Society for her first Season, the genteel equilibrium of the higher classes begins to go seriously awry. Eastern-raised Louisa has her own ideas of what she wants-- and finding a husband is not (so she thinks) among them. As the Season progresses, the confusions and misunderstandings increase, plots thicken, and well-laid schemes come to sinister fruition, as Louisa begins to realize that perhaps there are still a few things the Turkish harem didn't teach her-- and the most unsuitable man might be exactly the husband she wants.
Somebody had nailed Moke Rahone to his Desk. . . .Moke Rahone'd been human, and someone had butchered him open. It was dainty-like. Real bodysnatcher work, done with something sharp-something that didn't burn like a pocket laser or chew up the meat like a vibro.And there was one other thing. It was sticking up out of Rahone's insides and it hadn't been part of his original manifest. It might tell me who killed him, and who might be interested in taking over the cargo I had for him.I pulled off my glove and yanked out the optional extra somebody'd left with Brother Rahone. What I got for my trouble was long and thin, pointed at one end and with feathers at the other. It was mostly red, but where it was dry it was a kind of blue animal bone with carving on it.I'd seen bone like that before. Hellflower work!I'd just shut the door on the inner room behind me when the outer door opened. The hellflower standing there wasn't Tiggy, but he looked real pleased to see me anyway."Ea, higna," the hellflower said. Then he went for his heat. . . .
