When failed magician turned cardsharp Valen Quinol is given the chance to play in the Forbearance Game—the invitation-only tournament where players gamble with secrets—he can’t resist.

It’s a game of nations where Valen doesn’t know all the rules or who all the players are, and can’t see all the moves. But he does know if the secret falls into the wrong hands, it could plunge the whole world into war…

Synopsis The Knave of Hearts by : Elizabeth Boyle

In the fifth novel of the captivating Rhymes With Love series from New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Boyle, a young woman's hopes of a match encounter a wickedly handsome complication . . . Lavinia Tempest has been eagerly anticipating a spectacular season. But one disastrous pile-up on the Almack's dance floor derails all her plans. Add to that, the very stunning revelations about her mother's scandalous past have become the ton's latest on dits. Lavinia's future has gone from shining bright to blackest night in one misstep. Alaster "Tuck" Rowland admits he's partly to blame for Lavinia's disastrous debut. But it's not guilt that compels him to restore her reputation. Rather, he's placed a wager that he can make Lavinia into one of the most sought-after ladies in London. Who better than an unrepentant rake to set society astir? Tuck's motives are hardly noble. But in teaching the lovely Lavinia how to win any man she wants, he suddenly finds himself tangled in the last place he ever imagined: in love.

Synopsis Colonel Thorndyke's Secret by : George Alfred Henty

Colonel Thorndyke brought home from India a diamond bracelet stolen from a Hindu idol by a British soldier. Theft from a Hindu temple was considered a crime in India, obligating one or more persons to hunt down the thief and bring back what was stolen. The members of the Thorndyke family soon learned that they were being watched but could not determine whether by English highwaymen or Indian pursuers. A mysterious death followed, and this determined Mark Thorndyke, the hero of the tale, to become a detective in the London police force for the purpose of unraveling the mystery.
