Summary
Let’s talk about a Susan who never moved on, who buried her family in English soil and spent the rest of her life trying to find her way home. She did not believe lions were kind, but she always remembered a bow in her schoolgirl hands.
She looked in every old wardrobe she came across. It was casual, everyday– the first day in a new lecture hall, she checked the back of the coat closet. Friends had her over for Christmas dinner and she excused herself to go the bathroom, checked every cabinet and closet, and then headed back in for pudding. She went home with a cute boy she met in a smoky little pub and she checked his wardrobe before she headed home the next morning, heels in hand.
She also went to college, got a political science degree she had to fight for. She got a byline in the local paper, a few ladies’ magazines, then a larger regional publication.
She had mimosa brunches with friends. She read detective novels, never touched fantasy, and finally one day she stepped through an old stone archway barely thinking about it and–-
She was standing in a treeless plain, all yellow grass and blue blue skies.

Summary
Kate was the prickly, overbearing, stubborn protector. Kate was duty and sacrifice and sharp edges designed to keep everyone safe—or so she had told herself. Kate had built herself from the ashes of Kathani's funeral pyre, brick by brick, year by year, until she'd forgotten there had ever been anyone else beneath the armor.
Edwina, Mary, Lady Danbury—they all rejected her. The protection her family once needed was now called smothering. Unwanted. Her guidance had become interference. Her love was controlling.
Well then, if no one wanted her anymore…so be it.

Summary
Anthony learns to share his library with his viscountess.
He stopped, gaped. Could she not see his papers, his goose quills and silver inkwell, his blotter and seal, his cooling coffee?
"That is my chair," he said.
She did not look up. "Evidently not."
"What? Clearly, that is my chair."
Kate marked her page with a finger and closed the book around it, eyes rolling briefly towards the heavens. "I think it suits me rather better as I am actually using it." She looked up at him under her long lashes in a way that stopped his thoughts cold.
"But I—"
"Have you forgotten your marriage vows so quickly, when you endowed me with all your worldly goods?"
