Book excerpt: Will a second chance at love be enough to heal old wounds? He failed everyone...especially her. Henry Livingstone, the Marquess of Heartford, was destroyed by the fire that claimed his sister's life. Haunted by her death, he fled his home and the woman he loved. When he finally returns to restore his family's wealth, he's met with his demons, both old and new, including Lady Julia St. John, his former fiancée and the woman he scandalously abandoned at the altar. Once a diamond of the first water, Lady Julia St. John is a victim of cruel gossip and shunned from society. To salvage her pride, she focuses on family and rediscovers a passion for painting. Never did she imagine that she would ever see the Marquess of Heartford again...or face her utterly unresolved feelings for him. She should hate him...but hate is the last thing she feels. When sparks fly under the same roof and attraction eclipses heartbreak, Henry and Julia are left with a choice--take the risk and fight their way to a second chance at love, or walk away forever.

Book excerpt: **A FORCED MARRIAGE HISTORICAL ROMANCE** William Stanley is called back from the military when his elder brother and the future Marquess of Devonshire perishes in a fatal carriage accident. Now he is expected to accept the title and the duties that come along with it. Katherine is being forced to marry an ageing Duke by her own father who views the match as an end to secure a valuable political ally. Katherine absolutely loathes the idea of marriage, having seen first-hand how torturous it could be for some women, especially docile ones like her mother. She doesn't want to suffer the same fate but when her father threatens to harm her mother, she is left with little choice but to agree to his sickening order. What happens when William decides to rescue Katherine, his little cousin's best friend whom he'd never paid much attention to until now? Katherine has had a silly crush on William since childhood but now that he's come back from the Army looking better than ever, will she be able to control her traitorous feelings?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding love amongst the ton is a rare feat… …finding a virgin husband is surely impossible. Lady Charlotte Dunford will marry for love, or not marry at all. Finding a husband shouldn’t be difficult, not with her beauty, wealth and spirit. She’s already caught the eye of several gentlemen, including her brother’s friend Archie, whose pious nature hides a sparkling wit and an uncanny ability to draw out her secrets. Including the biggest secret of all… her future husband must be a virgin. An impossible condition for the gentlemen of the ton… except for Archie, who can fulfill all her demands. Archibald Turner has secrets of his own. His older brother is hidden away, dying of a disease that will ruin their family name. When the axe falls, he’ll need his friends to stand by him. He’s dedicated himself to becoming the perfect gentleman. He never drinks, never gambles, never cusses. And he’s never lain with a woman. But beneath the perfect façade is a wildly passionate man who desires the one thing he cannot have. His best friend’s little sister. Archie is certain Charlotte will despise him when she learns the truth of his legacy. But will she give up on the man she loves… the father of her unborn child?

For the sake of propriety, and her younger sisters’ reputations, Iris Somerset has kept her rebellious streak locked away. But though she receives a proposal from Phineas Knight, Lord of Huntington, Iris can’t marry a man she knows isn’t truly enamored with her. In fact, Iris no longer wants to be chosen—she wants to choose. Under the clandestine tutelage of “wicked widow” Lady Annabel Tallant, she’ll learn how to steer her own marriage prospects—and discover her secret appetites . . . What kind of debutante refuses a marquess? Finn is surprised, a little chastened—and thoroughly intrigued. This new, independent version of Iris is far more alluring than the polished socialite she used to be. Finn believed he needed a safe, quiet wife to curb his wilder impulses. But the more Iris surprises him, the more impossible it becomes to resist their deepest desires . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a rake beyond redemption ... A walking scandal surviving on little more than wits, whisky, and wicked skills in the bedchamber, Benedict Chatham, the new Marquess of Rutherford, is at the end of his rope. Deeply in debt and down to his last farthing, he must marry nothing short of an absolute fortune, or risk utter ruin. Must marry for money ... Enter Miss Charlotte Lancaster, unfashionably tall heiress to just such a fortune and a clumsy, redheaded disaster in her five London seasons. While she dreams of leaving England for a life of trade in America, her father schemes to trade her dowry for a title-and Marchioness of Rutherford will do nicely. Charlotte wants her independence, not a husband, and certainly not a disreputable devil who renders her weak and wobbly with a single scorching glance. But she's a practical sort, and a year with the devil might buy her freedom ... provided she can resist his seductive charms. That shouldn't prove a problem, for he could not possibly want someone like her, and the feeling is mutual. Really. It is. Love grows in the most unexpected places ... When her father demands a startling price for his daughter's hand-one year of fidelity and sobriety-Chatham must change his libertine ways ... at least temporarily. And when he does, Charlotte begins to see him in a new light-not as the scandalous charmer she married, but as the husband she just might adore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reserved debutante and a former soldier make an unlikely but fated match as they hasten for the Isle of Skye. Orphaned heiress Olivia de Vere should have the world--or at least the men of the ton--at her feet. But when she's thrown out of a young ladies' academy, Olivia doubts she'll ever find someone who will love her, rather than her bank account. To make matters worse, her dissolute cousin Felix is determined to marry her against her wishes. A virtual prisoner in her guardians' London townhouse, Olivia can’t help but develop a tendre for her neighbor, a handsome Scottish marquess. Battle-scarred in more ways than one, Hamish MacQueen, Lord Sleat, has braved many dangers in life. But nothing has quite prepared him for the shock of having a young child dumped on his doorstep, with a note claiming she’s his daughter. Just in the nick of time his pretty neighbor appears, offering to act as a nursemaid for the young girl on their journey to his estate in Scotland. He suspects she has her own reasons for wanting to flee the country… The close traveling quarters leads to a fierce attraction between Olivia and Hamish that seems impossible to resist. But when ghosts from the past and monsters from the present threaten to tear them apart, will their unlikely love survive?

Book excerpt: It's not easy for a woman with neither money nor family to make her own way in the world, but as one of London's premier fortune-tellers, Jenny Keeble has managed precisely that. All she has to do is smile sweetly, listen carefully, and tell her clients precisely what they want to hear. It works...until Gareth Carhart, the scientifically-minded Marquess of Blakely, decides to prove that she's a fraud. At first, all Gareth wants is to free his gullible cousin from Jenny's clutches. But he discovers that she's clever, spirited, beautiful, and not at all the conniving liar that he initially imagined. Still, there's nothing logical about his attraction to her, and so he refuses to give in to it. He's vowed to ruin her, so he will-even if he has to break his own heart in the process.

Her only choice is to flee London, vowing to start a new life far from the aristocracy. Unfortunately, the carriage in which she stows away isn’t saving her from ruin . . . it’s filled with it. Rogue’s Reign of Ravishment! Kingscote, “King,” the Marquess of Eversley, has never met a woman he couldn’t charm, resulting in a reputation far worse than the truth, a general sense that he’s more pretty face than proper gentleman, and an irate summons home to the Scottish border. When King discovers stowaway Sophie, however, the journey becomes anything but boring. War? Or More? He thinks she’s trying to trick him into marriage. She wouldn’t have him if he were the last man on earth. But carriages bring close quarters, dark secrets, and unbearable temptation, making opposites altogether too attractive . . .

Book excerpt: The Marquess of Rutherford has been avoiding the marriage noose for years. The last thing he expected was to end up engaged to a woman with even less desire to marry than he has.Eliza Terribury is the last of seven daughters to have her London debut. Her mother is desperate to see her matched with the elusive Marquess of Rutherford, but Eliza has no intention of marrying anyone. Her dream of becoming a published novelist would never survive the limitations of life as a gentleman's wife. Michael Gerard, the Marquess of Rutherford, has bowed to the duty of his position all his life, but the choosing of a wife is something he will not be pressured into. Unfortunately, he did not expect fate to take a side and throw Eliza Terribury in his path at every turn. And he certainly did not expect the rush of attraction he feels for the impertinent young woman.When a completely innocent incident leaves Eliza and Rutherford with no choice but to announce an engagement, they agree to go along with the betrothal only until they can find a way out of it. As Eliza's free-spirit charms Rutherford despite himself and Eliza discovers there is more to the arrogant lord than meets the eye, what began as a tentative friendship becomes something deeper. But is passion enough reason to take a chance on forever?

Charity needs to see her beloved friend married well and then Robert Selby will disappear…forever. May not be who you think… Alistair, Marquess of Pembroke, has spent years repairing the estate ruined by his wastrel father, and nothing is more important than protecting his fortune and name. He shouldn’t be so beguiled by the charming young man who shows up on his doorstep asking for favors. And he certainly shouldn’t be thinking of all the disreputable things he’d like to do to the impertinent scamp. But is who you need… When Charity’s true nature is revealed, Alistair knows he can’t marry a scandalous woman in breeches, and Charity isn’t about to lace herself into a corset and play a respectable miss. Can these stubborn souls learn to sacrifice what they’ve always wanted for a love that is more than they could have imagined?

Book excerpt: “A riveting thriller with a family in crisis at the core. It's my kind of book.” —Brad Taylor, bestselling author of American Traitor DEA Special Agent Garrett Kohl must rescue a CIA officer after she’s kidnapped in Texas by a nefarious band of criminals in this pulse-pounding thriller for fans of C. J. Box Special Agent Garrett Kohl has just taken down a dangerous and deadly cartel boss when he finds trouble brewing back on his family’s homestead. A powerful energy consortium, Talon Corporation, has started an aggressive mining operation that threatens to destroy Garrett’s land, his family’s way of life, and everything they hold dear. To achieve its goals, Talon is flouting the law, bribing public officials, and meeting anyone who challenges it with physical violence. When the Kohls themselves are attacked by Talon guards, Garrett goes on the offensive, embarking on an investigation that he hopes will rid the Texas High Plains of the intruders once and for all. Garrett soon discovers that the company has origins in the dark hinterlands of countries across the globe. Using coercion and assassination levied by men from former Russian special operations forces, Talon is working on a highly secretive scheme to commandeer precious U.S. resources. The tit-for-tat exchange between Talon and the Kohls erupts into a full-scale war when Russian spy Alexi Orlov kidnaps Garrett’s friend and ally CIA operative Kim Manning. While Talon may be accustomed to getting its way in many places around the world, it has yet to encounter this rare breed of warrior down in Texas—a man who will fight to the death to protect those he loves.

Desirous of a business arrangement instead of a love match, he hires a matchmaker, only to learn she’s the widow he nearly seduced during a house party. Though attraction still simmers between them, he agrees to keep their relationship professional. After the death of her philandering husband left her a pauper, Rebecca Sweet finds financial hope as a matchmaker. Engaged with her first real client, she’s stymied by his requirement that love is not allowed—and by the fact that she can’t stop thinking of his kisses. But when they seek to find his bride at her hometown’s matchmaking festival, she must face the guilt of her past. The marquess’s surprising support makes her wonder if she could take a second chance on love. Too bad he’s only interested in a casual affair. She needs to find him a bride before she loses her heart forever.
