Shana Galen Book order

The story follows the Marquess of Kingston-King, a jaded nobleman who dismisses the existence of witches despite being cursed by one in his youth. On the eve of his thirtieth birthday, the witch reemerges, and he must confront the reality of his curse. By morning, he finds himself stripped of his title and wealth, transformed from a privileged aristocrat into an ordinary man. This unexpected turn of events challenges his beliefs and sets the stage for a journey of self-discovery and redemption.

In On Temperaments, Galen of Pergamum sets out his concept of the combination of the four elemental qualities (hot, cold, wet, and dry), which is fundamental to his account of the structure and function of human, animal, and plant bodies. Two related works explore disturbances in this combination and their consequences.

No Man's Plaything . . . Catherine Fullbright has vowed never to marry. Growing up with a disreputable father, she witnessed male behavior at its very worst. Unfortunately her ambitious parent refuses to marry off Catie's pretty, pliable younger sister until the elder is wed—and his underhanded scheming comes to a head when Catie finds herself standing at the altar with her sister's fiancé. No Woman's Fool . . . To achieve his ambitions, Quint Childers, Lord Valentine, needs a wife—some charming, gracious lovely to play the perfect hostess . . . certainly not a brash, stubborn hellion like Catherine Fullbright. Why, then, is he mesmerized by the fiery chit? And when an old man's deception puts Catie in Quint's bed, why does the prospect of their union excite the handsome lord so? Winning the remarkable lady's love will be a trial—she doesn't even like him! Still, is that a glint of desire he sees flashing in those exquisite hazel eyes?
