We
are dying to jump back down the rabbit hole with Heather Lyons' THE HIDDEN
LIBRARY! THE HIDDEN LIBRARY is an Adult Romantic Fairy Tale, full of adventure
and fantasy and the second book in Heather’s The Collectors' Society Series!
Check out the latest fantastic installment in this series that brings you some
of the classics with a twist.
Sometimes, the rabbit hole is deeper
than expected . . .
Alice Reeve and Finn Van Brunt have
tumbled into a life of secrets. Some secrets they share, such as their
employment by the clandestine organization known as The Collectors’ Society.
Other secrets they carry within them, fighting to keep buried the things that could
change everything they think they know.
On the hunt for an elusive villain who
is hell-bent on destroying legacies, Alice, Finn, and the rest of the Society
are desperate to unravel the mysteries surrounding them. But the farther they
spiral down this rabbit hole, the deeper they fall into secrets that will test
their loyalties and pit them against enemies both new and old.
Secrets, they come to find, can reveal
the deadliest of truths.

We are about to open the conference room
door and enter the hallway when he stops. He turns to me, his lovely eyes
achingly sincere. “I want to take you on a date when all of this craziness is
over. A real one. We’ve kind of gone about this all backwards, haven’t we?”
One corner of my mouth lifts up. “Are
you saying you’d like to court me?”
There is no playfulness to his face, no
quirk to his own lips. My heart flutters at his seriousness. “Yes.”
He wants to court me.
Too many emotions rush around in a
caucus race throughout my body. I have no doubts of Huckleberry Finn Van
Brunt’s feelings toward me. I understood them two minutes ago just as well as I
did this morning when I woke up and from the night before and from the day in
Wonderland where he said, in not so many words, that he was falling in love
with me.
He and I . . . We’ve never said those
words, though, not the ones that truly spell out fragile, deep secrets of a
heart and soul. Words so easily and yet unfortunately uttered by many, be it to
express their appreciation of fried bits of potatoes to sports teams on the
television. Words offered so frivolously about a variety of subjects and yet
can be the most difficult, most painful, most meaningful, most cherished
syllables we gift another person.
I have said these words before, to
another man. Another man I still love. One I know, in the deepest confines of
my heart, that I will love until the last breath escapes my body. A man who
courted me in secret and then publicly in the face of astonishment,
disapproval, confusion, and, in the end, prophesies.
I have willingly given the man in front
of me my heart, though, whether he knows it or not. He now holds it in his
hands, and while I pray he is my future, there is still a part of me that bucks
in conflicted confusion and delight by this declaration of his.
He wants to court me.
And yet, as sweet and romantic as such a
gesture might be, I require no such formalities. My affections for Finn Van
Brunt have already solidified into something real and wonderful and meaningful.
