    Summary

    James thumbs through the pages, eyes glazing over but a few words like “ice” and “sea” catch his eye. “What’s it about?”

    “It was pitched as Atonement meets the Iliad. Have you heard of the Ross expedition?”

    Summary

    It is Sir John and Lady Jane’s ongoing trial that Francis wished to marry Miss Sophia Cracroft. Oh, but there are so many more appropriate men - even those better matched within the Discovery Service! Why, a well-placed engagement could improve mutual reputations and cause quite the ‘it’ pair within the Admiralty. Thus, upon an embarrassing and early return to England, Sophia Cracroft and James Fitzjames are strongly encouraged by the Franklins that their pairing would be fortuitous, elevate their standing, and offset some of the detrimental press caused by another failed attempt at the Passage. Hilarity ensues.

    Summary

    “It’s called -” Francis huffed into the phone, commended his soul to a god he wasn’t quite sure he still believed in. “Right now, it’s called…” He sighed. “It’s called Barrow’s Baking Boys.”
      
    When Francis tried out for what he thought was Bake Off, he didn't expect to end up on a knock-off run by an aging baker desperate for a legacy. But now he's here, trying to keep up with the younger bakers and their flashy piping, avoid the eyes of cameras that only seem to catch him at his worst, and do his best not to be distracted by that posh bastard with the perfect hair.

    Ten weeks, twelve contestants, two hundred and twenty five bakes.

    One winner.

    Let the first season of Barrow's Baking Boys Begin!
