Rhomiko and the Confirmed Bachelor

<p><strong><em>One bachelor is love-shy. One is unrequited. One is much-loved. One is blindsided. </em></strong></p><p>Argent Mettlebright knows how to keep a secret safe but it's only a matter of time before someone notices that Hisoka Twineshaft has disappeared from the political arena. With tensions on the rise the world needs his leadership more than ever. </p><p> Nobody wants to help Sensei more than Isla Ward but his door is barred against her. <em>Right then</em>. She has a plan and she has a co-writer. Maybe with their next book her hopes will finally reach her mentor. </p><p> With spring's arrival Stately House's enclave stands ready to welcome a Scattering. The estate has never been more secure but Tsumiko wouldn't call the resulting sanctuary <em>peaceful. </em>Too many battered souls. Too many wistful glances. But with the help of a dragon bard's lullabies and an impish crosser's confidence she leads her ever-growing family. </p><p> Seeds to plant. Imps to hatch. Winds to change. Rogues to lure. Hearts to win. Vows to keep. Lives to share. </p>
