Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.
The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.
Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.

relationship.

each other plenty during wedding season, whether they like it or not.
With no time or desire to date, the two come to an agreement:
pre-scheduled hookups through the summer or until something real comes
along. A situational relationship, otherwise known as a situationship.
Their arrangement seems perfect, if their past doesn't come back to
bite them. . .
The bestselling author of A Hundred Summers brings the Roaring
Twenties brilliantly to life in this enchanting and compulsively
readable tale of intrigue, romance, and scandal in New York
Society, brimming with lush atmosphere, striking characters, and
irresistible charm. As the freedom of the Jazz Age transforms New
York City, the iridescent Mrs. Theresa Marshall of Fifth Avenue and
Southampton, Long Island, has done the unthinkable: she's fallen in
love with her young paramour, Captain Octavian Rofrano, a handsome
aviator and hero of the Great War. An intense and deeply honorable
man, Octavian is devoted to the beautiful socialite of a certain
age and wants to marry her. While times are changing and she does
adore the Boy, divorce for a woman of Theresa's wealth and social
standing is out of the question, and there is no need; she has an
understanding with Sylvo, her generous and well-respected
philanderer husband. But their relationship subtly shifts when her
bachelor brother, Ox, decides to tie the knot with the sweet
younger daughter of a newly wealthy inventor. Engaging a
longstanding family tradition, Theresa enlists the Boy to act as
her brother's cavalier, presenting the family's diamond rose ring
to Ox's intended, Miss Sophie Fortescue--and to check into the
background of the little-known Fortescue family. When Octavian
meets Sophie, he falls under the spell of the pretty ingenue, even
as he uncovers a shocking family secret. As the love triangle of
Theresa, Octavian, and Sophie progresses, it transforms into a saga
of divided loyalties, dangerous revelations, and surprising twists
that will lead to a shocking transgression . . . and eventually
force Theresa to make a bittersweet choice. Full of the glamour,
wit and delicious twists that are the hallmarks of Beatriz
Williams' fiction and alternating between Sophie's spirited voice
and Theresa's vibrant timbre, A Certain Age is a beguiling
reinterpretation of Richard Strauss's comic opera Der
Rosenkavalier, set against the sweeping decadence of Gatsby's New
York.
