Tamed. That’s what Liberty needs. The woman is as foolish as she is brave and has a wild heart that’s been a thorn in my side since she arrived on the island. She has me breaking all the rules I set for myself while demanding I break more. The easiest thing would be to distance myself, allow her fate to be out of my hands. Problem is, I still want her. And I don’t see that changing. I’ll have to find a way to tame her instead. A note from Nicole: Taming Liberty is the second book in the dark romance trilogy, Liberating Deceit, and ends on a CLIFFHANGER. It picks back up in the final installment, Claiming Liberty.

A “deeply researched and bracing retelling” (Annette Gordon-Reed, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian) of the American Revolution, showing how the Founders were influenced by overlooked Americans—women, Native Americans, African Americans, and religious dissenters. Using more than a thousand eyewitness records, Liberty Is Sweet is a “spirited account” (Gordon S. Wood, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Radicalism of the American Revolution) that explores countless connections between the Patriots of 1776 and other Americans whose passion for freedom often brought them into conflict with the Founding Fathers. “It is all one story,” prizewinning historian Woody Holton writes. Holton describes the origins and crucial battles of the Revolution from Lexington and Concord to the British surrender at Yorktown, always focusing on marginalized Americans—enslaved Africans and African Americans, Native Americans, women, and dissenters—and on overlooked factors such as weather, North America’s unique geography, chance, misperception, attempts to manipulate public opinion, and (most of all) disease. Thousands of enslaved Americans exploited the chaos of war to obtain their own freedom, while others were given away as enlistment bounties to whites. Women provided material support for the troops, sewing clothes for soldiers and in some cases taking part in the fighting. Both sides courted native people and mimicked their tactics. Liberty Is Sweet is a “must-read book for understanding the founding of our nation” (Walter Isaacson, author of Benjamin Franklin), from its origins on the frontiers and in the Atlantic ports to the creation of the Constitution. Offering surprises at every turn—for example, Holton makes a convincing case that Britain never had a chance of winning the war—this majestic history revivifies a story we thought we already knew.

Enjoy book one in this thrilling captive romance trilogy by dark romance author Nicole Cypher... Caged. That’s the word that best describes my current predicament. Kidnapped and taken to a private island full of hungry, depraved men, it seems like my situation can’t get any worse, but, unfortunately, I’m not sure that’s true. The mystery of how I got here reeks of betrayal, and I don’t know how much more of it I can take. It’s starting to seem like lies and deceit are all that I know. The only crumb of comfort I have comes from one of the island residents, a man I’m told to call Mr. A. He isn’t quite like the rest, and he gives me hope I can’t help but cling to in a place like this. I hear the rumors, learn why he keeps me at the island manor instead of taking me for himself, and still, I try to put my trust in him like he asks. Because on an island of monsters, what choice do I have? I want to believe his intentions are pure … but will he turn out to be the biggest liar of them all? A note from Nicole: Caging Liberty is the first book in the 18+ steamy dark romance trilogy, Liberating Deceit, and follows the suspenseful relationship between Angel and Liberty. The whole series is loaded with twists and turns, so get ready for nothing to be as it seems! While it involves a dark theme (island of sex slaves), Angel is no sadist, and he’s more broken than depraved. This book ends on a CLIFFHANGER and picks back up in Taming Liberty.

Claimed. That’s what Liberty has been to me since she walked into my life. First by another man. Then by myself. I waited years to have her, spent my nights craving her, did my best to cage her, and none of it has worked out the way I planned. As far as I can see, there’s only one thing left to do… Let go and hope she claims me too. A note from Nicole: Claiming Liberty is the final book in the dark romance trilogy, Liberating Deceit, and is JAM-PACKED with suspense. Get ready for a grand finale!
