Elizabeth Suzannah Dupree lives a pampered life on a Georgia plantation surrounded by her family and friends. "Zasu," as she is affectionately known, wants nothing more than to run the orange grove plantation when her father retires and live her life in peace. She has no use for society parties, gossip, or even worse, a husband. Which suits the men of Savannah just fine, for, as beautiful as she may be, no one wants an independent, business-minded woman like Zasu for a wife. But when Zasu meets dashing lawyer Gray Talbot, everything changes. Serious and quiet, Gray doesn't wave away her ambitions as fanciful or remind her of her place in society. Instead, he treats her as an equal, and makes her question her decision not to marry. But Gray is hiding secrets, secrets that will threaten their newfound admiration for each other... Gray Talbot is an abolitionist. And preaching abolition in the South during the Civil War is dangerous. Despite threats and violence, Gray doggedly pursues his desire to see all people free and treated equally. But falling in love with a slave-holding Southern woman wasn't part of the plan. As the Civil War looms with the election of Abraham Lincoln, the slaves on the Dupree Plantation are also affected. Abused at the hands of a white man, Zasu's maid, Renny, begins to open her eyes to the idea that there is more to life than living in bondage. When war breaks out, throwing the South and their way of life into chaos, Renny and her family must decide whether to remain on the plantation or take the dangerous route to freedom. And when tragedy occurs on the plantation, Zasu must decide what she truly believes and where her heart lies.

This Regency romance borrows from Jane Austen's original works, which are now in the public domain.

However, readers do not have to be familiar with Austen's original works before reading this story. *Warning: This novel includes some sexual content. This is not a clean romance.

The Demon King of Gen'ric Book Two: The Exorcist by Light Clark (Amazon Digital Services) (26 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Kix. It is a name that, well... isn't really acceptable at all, even as an appellation for travelling unnoticed. Having to hike to her destination on foot isn't acceptable either. Even worse than both of those, however, is the bumbling servant at her side, and yet all are indignities the demon king must now endure - all because of a botched resurrection. It is that resurrection, and the state in which it has left her, which now drives Kix to suffer through all of those degradations and more. After all, there simply has to be a way to fix what's been done to her somewhere, and it certainly isn't in the useless backwater village of Midnow. She merely has to find it, and the first step along the path to doing so lies in the town of Ovhi, a wizard known by the locals as 'Old Thunderbolt'. Of course, Kix resents having to rely on the expertise of a paltry, hedge wizard from some frontier town. The chances that someone like that will know anything useful are infuriatingly slim. Still, Ovhi has to be less insufferable than what she's leaving behind, and any progress would be better than none at all. She is even due to get some proper clothes made for her while she's there. What sort of price in aggravation will she have to pay, though, to receive that which she desires? And who is this strange girl with blue twintails who seems to keep popping up everywhere she goes?
