Worcester, Massachusetts, 1897. Regina Prince needs money. Without an investor to get her father's bicycle motor company up and running, she and her younger sisters will soon be going without food, let alone the fripperies of fashion. The only financier to return her letters is a man she's sure she hates—which means she has no hesitation about blackmailing him. Walter Ellis needs to find a worthwhile investment opportunity before his father demotes him to a mail clerk, or worse. The Prince Velomotor Company might be small, but there's potential in both the motors and the fierce determination of the founder's daughter. He can't remember exactly what he did to offend Regina, but once the woman starts ordering him around, he finds that he wants to prove himself to her even more than he wants his father's approval. Regina travels to New York with Walter, so she can make sure he's fulfilling his side of their bargain. Soon, though, she's acting as his fiancée—and wishing there was more truth to the relationship. As the web of blackmail, extortion, and family obligations around them grows ever more tangled, will Regina and Walter ever be able to find a clear path to a future together?

Once, Tarcienne was united under the rule of the Rose Queen. But that was before the Rift. Before the magic disappeared... Orphaned Calixta has spent her entire life as an indentured servant to the heartless Countess of Vauvillers. After she discovers her mother's journal and a few seeds inside, she takes the chance to plant them, hoping for a connection to her long-lost parent. When they instantly grow into a forty foot tall weeping willow, she gets more than she bargained for. Maybe she shouldn't have planted it in a public park… As the Alaincourt heir, Martel knows his duty to the dukedom comes first. That means supporting his mother's political alliances, sitting attentively in endless council meetings, and not smothering his annoying younger brothers. It also means heading out in the middle of the night when a rumor of impossible plant magic reaches the palace… Calixta never intended to grow a tree overnight. She never intended to attract the attention of Lord Martel, or reawaken the realm's magic affinities, or become an apprentice to the duchess's oldest, grumpiest, and most mysterious lady-in-waiting either.
