{"product_id":"2940016674445","title":"Roses Before Dawn","description":"Prequel to the Immortal Hearts Series \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe year is 1780, the place is Nouvelle Orleans. The people are Kaspians: immortal shape-shifting tigers who are as old as time itself. Or, at least, some of them are. Not so old is shy Margaret Francis who, at twenty-two, is considered a “baby” in the Kaspian world.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut shy Margaret has a problem: an undeniable attraction to the sharp-tongued half-blind telepathist Seth Kade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMargaret hates telepathists.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIf Kaspians had princes, those princes would be the Kades. And everything about Seth’s behavior indicates he expects to be treated accordingly. First, he tries to buy Margaret. Then he tries to seduce Margaret. Finally, Seth Marques Margaret…which, according to Seth, means that Margaret is his amati and will always be his. As if he owns her. Like a slave.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMargaret isn’t so pleased.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Seth, Margaret represents children, a future, and happiness. Seth will only have one amati, and he can’t afford to let Margaret slip through his fingers. When it comes to love, enough tragedy has struck his family, and Seth refuses to be next. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eToo bad Margaret is so exasperatingly shy. So infuriatingly stubborn.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSo terribly vulnerable.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWith Margaret’s grand-père rallying Kaspians to take over the New World, there is more danger than ever. While the Kades might be tempted to her grand-père’s cause, Margaret’s grand-père is far from noble: he has abused Margaret in the past, and now he wants her father and brother dead.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSeth can be vexing, but he has a je ne sais quoi that draws Margaret like a moth to a flame. But one problem: Seth refuses to understand that Margaret’s family means as much to her as his does to him.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn the end, Margaret will have to choose between the man she is growing to love and the family she treasures above everything else.","brand":"IAL Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179559239920,"sku":"2940016674445","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016674445_p0.jpg?v=1763639850","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016674445","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
