His descendant, Arthur, a future lord and general gadabout, has been betrothed to Gwendoline, the quick-witted, short-tempered Princess of England, since birth.

"Cara Tang doesn't want to be haunted. Look, the dead have issues, and Cara has enough of her own. Her overbearing mother insists she be the "perfect" Chinese American daughter--which means suppressing her ghost-speaking powers--and she keeps getting into fights with Zacharias Coleson, the local golden boy whose smirk makes her want to set things on fire. Then she stumbles across Zach's dead body in the woods. He's even more infuriating as a ghost, but Cara's the only one who can see him--and save him. Agreeing to resurrect him puts her at odds with her mother, draws her into a dangerous liminal world of monsters and magic--and worse, leaves her stuck with Zach. Yet as she and Zach grow closer, forced to depend on each other to survive, Cara finds the most terrifying thing is that she might not hate him so much after all. Maybe this is why her mother warned her about ghosts"--Provided by publisher.

Emmett Woodhouse, handsome, clever and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence and had lived nearly eighteen years in the world with very little to distress or vex him. Emmett knows he?s blessed. And because of that, he tries to give back: from charity work to letting the often irritating Georgia sit at his table at lunch, he knows it?s important to be nice. And recently, he?s found a new way of giving back: matchmaking. He set up his best friend Taylor with her new boyfriend and it?s gone perfectly. So when his occasional friend-with-benefits Harrison starts saying he wants a boyfriend (something Emmett definitely does NOT want to be), he decides to try and find Harrison the perfect man at Highbury Academy. Emmett?s childhood friend, Miles, thinks finding a boyfriend for a guy you sleep with is a bad idea. But Miles is straight, and Emmett says this is gay life ? your friends, your lovers, your boyfriends ? they all come from the same very small pool. That?s why Emmett doesn?t date ? to keep things clean. He knows the human brain isn?t done developing until twenty-five, so any relationship he enters into before then would inevitably end in a breakup, in loss. And he?s seen what loss can do. His mother died four years ago and his Dad hasn?t been the same since. But the lines Emmett tries to draw are more porous than he thinks, and as he tries to find Harrison the perfect match, he learns that gifted as he may be, maybe he has no idea what he?s doing when it comes to love. Modern and very gay, with a charmingly conceited lead who is convinced he knows it all, and the occasional reference to the classic movie Clueless, Emmett brings you lush romance all while exploring the complexities of queer culture?where your lovers and friends are sometimes the same person, but the person you fall in love with might be a total surprise.
