Books
Beguiled
"After defeating the evil Queen Mab, Maggie Donovan has become the new Queen of the Fae. Being Fae royalty in Otherworld has its pros and cons. For one thing, she gets to make love to her dashing Fae Warrior, Culhane--on the throne. But she also worries that Culhane may want her more for her power than because she's Fae-licious. And queens do tend to have enemies--especially a certain ex-queen who has not been destroyed and wants her crown back. When Maggie's niece is kidnapped by Mab, Maggie must overcome her mistrust of Culhane and unite the Fae Warriors to save the girl and defeat the rebel queen once and for all-or else lose everything."--p. of cover.

She was thoroughly modern, enjoying her university friends and her fast motorcycle. And she thought that rich people were greedy capitalists! But there seemed nothing greedy about Sir James Arbory, baronet, wealthy though he was. Pandora was too smart, however, to make a fool of herself over a member of the nobility. Even if he was handsome. Even if she wasn't really his servant. Even, in fact, if she loved him....
