Marriage on trial! From playboy lover… When gorgeous millionaire Raoul de Chevnair chose Leigh as his bride, it seemed he'd left his flirtatious bachelor days behind for good. But had he? Their marriage had scarcely begun before his playboy habits returned and Leigh found him in the arms of another woman…. …to faithful husband? That was five years ago. Leigh is no longer a naive teenage, bowled over by Raoul's charm. So when he vows to win back her trust, Leigh is determined not to give in that easily! It's all very well for Raoul to sweep her off on an exotic second honeymoon, but Leigh needs a lot of convincing that Raoul has decided to take his marriage vows seriously after all! Helen Brooks creates "rich characters, sparkling interplay and a riveting emotional conflict." —Romantic Times
When Leigh was eighteen, she fell in love with the multi-millionaire Raoul at first sight, and they were married. Their sweet and gorgeous life as newlyweds seemed like a dream… and the young and innocent Leigh was soon entranced with Raoul. But that life suddenly ended. One day, Leigh saw a beautiful woman lying in her bed, and ran out of the house, stricken with despair… It’s been five years since then. Leigh’s artistic talent was recognized by society, and she is invited to a party as an artist, where she and Raoul are reunited. “You’re still my wife, aren’t you?” Raoul says, stealing a kiss like it was the most natural thing in the world!

It might be a marriage of convenience but it’s anything but simple. Despite it being his idea, Jack is unbearably surly... But then he does something that shows Rose he might just have a softer side. Maybe love can start with a contract… but will Rose still feel that way when she learns the full terms of their deal?
From New York Times bestselling legend Mary Balogh—and the beloved author of Longing, Silent Melody, and Beyond the Sunrise—comes a ravishing novel of passion and duty, love and menace.... Life has taught Lucas Kendrick, Duke of Harndon, that a heart is a decided liability. Betrayed by his elder brother, rejected by his fiancée, banished by his father, and shunned by his mother, Luke fled to Paris, where he became the most sought-after bachelor in fashionable society. Ten years later, fate has brought him back home to England as head of the family who rejected him. Unwilling as he is to be involved with them, he must assume responsibility for his younger siblings, the family estate he once loved—and the succession. He faces the prospect of marrying with the greatest reluctance—until he sees beguiling Lady Anna Marlowe across a ballroom one night. Anna, far from being the bright-eyed innocent Luke takes her for, is no more a stranger to the shadows of a painful past than he is. But for her, marriage cannot so easily solve what is wrong in her life—not when a tormentor stalks her to the very doors of Bowden Abbey, where Luke and Anna must learn to trust in each other or risk any chance they may have for a happy future.

"A heartless design is the first book in the Secrets of the Zodiac, a series that blends the sensibilities of modern romantic suspense with the rich backgroundof the Regency period." --From publisher.
In its invasion, Japan ripped away all the land and the sea, leaving only the sky of Korea behind. More than even Hitler's record, 7 million Koreans died--Unit 731 biopsy, arson of the great east earthquake, the rape of Queen Myeongseong, the cutting out of court ladies' breasts with knives, the keeping of the Church of Jeam-ri and the villagers in the fire, the raping and killing of two hundred thousand virgins, and the abandoning of draftees on the Pacific Island. And on the altar of blood, Japan became an advanced country. Animals mate and leave quietly, but Japanese soldiers raped and killed and left. Until when are you going to keep the scarlet letter around your neck? Will the day come when mugunghwa and sakura bloom together? Since the Sino-Japanese War again 10 years later, it occupied Korea and inflicted tremendous pain on our people. Unlike Germany, Japan has never repented and apologized for their atrocities. "Japan's Evil Master" will serve as a way of understanding the brutal history of Japan's imperialism. The problem is not knowing their past, but I believe it will be an important guide in preventing Japan's ambition to repeat its militaristic atrocities again. (Han Wan-sang, a former deputy prime minister / professor at Seoul National University) Japanese colonial era signals the importance of the scars of Koreans, and Dr. Choe Young, are vividly displayed. Based on outstanding historical data and clear analytical skills. One of this insights will make a valuable contribution to the future peace of Northeast Asia. (Alexis Dudden, professor and author of Japan's Colonization of Korea, University of Connecticut) There is no book that is more persuasively written about Japan's brutal history, especially the human rights of women who have suffered irrevocable injuries due to the war, centering on the vast data. This book is Japanese military sexual slavery problem for the past and present and really understand what was going on in the direction of solving future problems offer a big role. I would like to strongly recommend modern women who are adapting to rapidly changing social environments and dream of a fair future amid accurate historical perceptions. (Professor Kim Hyun-sook, Sookmyung Women's University) Japan is famous for technology development, but the process is a criminal country achieved through invasion and conquest. Japan can be a companion to the march of mankind if it seeks forgiveness from Korea and other affected countries. This book is recommended as a textbook of the people who can understand and cope with Japan as a crucial guide to Japan's new path of change. (Professor Cho Jin-ho, Illinois State University)
