Prince Severin knows that marrying the princess of a neighboring land and producing an heir is the last hope to achieve peace for his war-ravaged kingdom. Yet he refuses. Angered by his defiance, the king orders Severin out into the world, hoping that seeing the suffering of their people will change his mind. What no one knows is that the prince is not stubborn, but longs only for the touch of another man. On the brink of despair, his life changes forever when his journey brings him to a slave market and he catches a glimpse of Havyn.
Born into bondage, Havyn has spent his life being sold from master to master and longing to know love. From the moment he first sees Prince Severin, he is certain his wish has come true. But Havyn is no ordinary slave. He has been born with a magic powerful enough to save, or destroy. When the prince's trusted companion recognizes his latent talents, he is offered the opportunity of a lifetime as a wizard's apprentice.
But, there's a catch. Havyn's powers will only be fully realized if he keeps his body chaste and pure, but the closer he becomes to Prince Severin, the more their growing attraction threatens his resolve. With kingdoms at war and the throne hanging in the balance, can the two men find happiness together, or will duty triumph over love?
Review Excerpts:
"The way Severin and Havyn fight their attraction even as each of them continue to crave each other was heartbreaking. This was a really good novel, one that I thoroughly enjoyed reading and remember for quite some time." - Coffee Time Romance
"Gisby's description of her fantasy world of Arcathia and Oscia is strong; she quickly sets the limitations of the magic users and defines the characteristics of the Arcathian and Oscian populations with clarity. She is also very good at introducing various subplots; within the first few chapters she introduces the antagonism between her two main cultures, the appearance of an ancient race, in addition to the main romance and the obstacles the couples face." - Rainbow Reviews
"Annette Gisby is one of my new favorite authors to watch out for. The Chosen was simply a fantastic mixture of passion, longing, magic and kingdom intrigue...Annette Gisby has written a fantastic book with clandestine visits, secret dreams, and a fantastic ending." - Bitten by Books

Recently released from a mental institution, Beth Gregory accepts a job as a live-in secretary/PA to the reclusive painter Josh Warrington. From the first moment he sees her, Beth’s long red hair fascinates him, and Josh wants her to be his Rapunzel for a series of fairy tale paintings on which he’s working.
Beth has two major fears: that she will be sent back to the mental hospital and that the visions which landed her there in the first place will return. They do; this time giving her glimpses of murders before they happen. Beth becomes the main suspect in the murder investigation and then she has the most disturbing vision of all: she will become the next victim…
Review Excerpts:
"I should know better than to begin an Annette Gisby book toward the end of the evening. As usual, I wound up sitting right where I was and reading it straight through. I am not a fan of the thriller genre, but Drowning Rapunzel is not a conventional thriller. This author doesn't rely on blood and gore to shock her readers into an appropriately unnerved state. Instead she writes about ordinary people doing ordinary things, lulling us right along with her heroine until she drops the tale's next bombshell." - Nina M. Osier, author of High Places and Eppie award winner for Regs.
"Drowning Rapunzel is a delightful mystery and a delightful romance. There are secrets and plot twists aplenty. I enjoyed watching Beth and Josh slowly fall in love as they deal with the people and happenings around them." - Judy Cook, for The Romance Studio.
"It was exciting to open a book and get that spine tingling feeling right away. Ms. Gisby has a talent for writing creepy scenes- the murder mystery plot line caught and held my attention." - Novelspot Reviews

After years of suffering, the revelation that she is now pregnant with her abuser's child was too much for Jessica Miller. She tried to end it all with a knife in the bath.
She was saved in time, but now Jessica is learning that survival is only the first step to healing. A mother and a small town who seem to care more about the impropriety of her condition than the horrors that caused it, an inability to share her feelings with the man she loves, and struggles both internal and external over the fate of her unborn child, conspire to crush her from all sides.
As events in her life grow ever darker, can Jessica find the strength to find her way toward the light and break a cycle of abuse? If she can't, it won't just be her leading a life of suffering this time: it will be her child.
