304 AD. Roman princess Valeria is kidnapped as a toddler by a Chinese spy—but instead of delivering her to chaos, he raises her as his own. Trained in three cultures, three languages, and the art of playing empires against each other, Valeria builds an impossible kingdom in the Hindu Kush mountains. Negotiating with Constantine, taming a cocky Gupta prince, and transforming kidnapping into power, she carves out a piece of life entirely her own.
Iranian-American twins Yasmin and Parisa have never been separated—and never will be. When epilepsy narrows Parisa's world, Yasmin makes a vow: one husband, both sisters, one family, or nothing. Brent Saunders isn't sure he can love two women equally. He agrees to try. From a scattered Monopoly board to a wedding in Tehran, TWICE LOVED is a warm, funny, tender story about loyalty, family, and refusing to let anyone you love be loved by halves. A love story that comes in twos.
