Trumbull Family Saga Series by Jenn LeBlanc

I regret everything that’s happened since I died. Possibly everything up until that point as well. My name is Madoc, and I’ve been ordered to return to London and take up the title which was given to my younger brother, Grayson, in my absence. I’ve also been ordered to make amends with my family. Impossible. Until she comes along. It was my fault really, scaring the wits out of her to the point she fainted. But I cannot in good conscience abandon her to the dark of London... moreI regret everything that’s happened since I died. Possibly everything up until that point as well. My name is Madoc, and I’ve been ordered to return to London and take up the title which was given to my younger brother, Grayson, in my absence. I’ve also been ordered to make amends with my family. Impossible. Until she comes along. It was my fault really, scaring the wits out of her to the point she fainted. But I cannot in good conscience abandon her to the dark of London. I have to find who she belongs to… The problem is… I want her and the only way to protect her is to send her away. Forever. ... There's nobody in my life. No family, no friends. I don't seem to be on the same wavelength as other people, there's just something about me, something that keeps me from clicking with others. It's fine (at least that's what I tell myself) because I looove my work. I'm a researcher and I get obsessed with falling down rabbit holes. Love it. Until I fall down the wrong one and this Alice in Wonderland story becomes so much more than I'm prepared for. The man who rescues me, kidnaps me, takes me, terrorizes me... it's all semantics when faced with what I feel. Like a lock finding its key. I'll allow him anything, almost. I won't allow him to hide from me, and I won't allow him to walk away when I know... I KNOW... that he feels the same way. less

When Ellie and Lou fall in love, it is with great abandon. And they have grand ideas. A small cottage, a garden, a goat to manage the weeds, sheep for wool to knit. But the truth of the matter lies in the reality. Louisa must marry, to the satisfaction of her father, and so must Ellie—whose family hopes for a title to add legitimacy to their status, opening doors in the ton. And when Louisa’s father discovers them together nothing can ever be the same... moreWhen Ellie and Lou fall in love, it is with great abandon. And they have grand ideas. A small cottage, a garden, a goat to manage the weeds, sheep for wool to knit. But the truth of the matter lies in the reality. Louisa must marry, to the satisfaction of her father, and so must Ellie—whose family hopes for a title to add legitimacy to their status, opening doors in the ton. And when Louisa’s father discovers them together nothing can ever be the same. A friend rescues Louisa from a horrible fate, sending her into hiding for her own protection. For three long years, Louisa remains in exile out of fear of what her father could do. Necessity returns Louisa to London, and as soon as she does, the memories of her beautiful Ellie haunt her. But Louisa has no idea if Ellie is even here, or unmarried, or still in want of her as Louisa is and has been since that first moment she saw her across the shimmering ballroom. Louisa fears discovering the truth of it all, that she was but a passing fancy born of the excitement of the heat of a first season. Will she find Ellie? Will the woman still want her? And even if so, what can they do now that they couldn’t do before? Nothing has changed, but everything is different. TW: sexual assault •>• less
