Laurell K. Hamilton Meredith Gentry CD Collection 2: a Stroke of Midnight, Mistral's Kiss, a Lick of Frost Abridged edition

A Stroke of Midnight: I am Meredith Gentry, P. I., solving cases in Los Angeles, far from the peril and deception of my real home - because I am also Princess Meredith, heir to the darkest throne faerie has to offer. The Unseelie Court infuses me with its power. But at what price does such magic come? How much of my human side will I have to give up, and how much of the sinister side of faerie will I have to embrace? Mistral?s Kiss: I am Princess Meredith, heir to a throne of fairie. Princess has now become a full-time occupation. My aunt, Queen Andais, will have it no other way. And so I am virtually a prisoner in fairie - trapped here with some of the realm?s most beautiful men to serve as my bodyguards?and my lovers. For I am compelled to conceive a child: an heir to succeed me on the throne. The only certainty is death at the hands of my cousin Cel, or his followers, if I fail. A Lick of Frost: I am Meredith Gentry, princess and heir apparent to the throne in the realm of faerie. King Taranis, powerful and vain-glorious ruler of faerie?s Seelie Court, has leveled accusations against my noble guards of a heinous crime. But I know that Taranis?s charges are baseless, and I sense that his true target is me. He tried to kill me when I was a child. Now I fear his intentions are far more terrifying.
