A Night Like This by Julia Quinn
Anne Wynter’s job as
governess to three highborn young ladies can be a challenge – in a
single week she finds herself hiding in a closet full of tubas, playing
an evil queen in a play and tending to the wounds of the oh-so-dashing
Earl of Winstead. After years of dodging unwanted advances, he's the
first man who has truly tempted her, and it's getting harder and harder
to remind herself that a governess has no business flirting with a
nobleman.
Daniel Smythe-Smith might be in mortal danger, but
that's not going to stop the young earl from falling in love. And when
he spies a mysterious woman at his family's annual musicale, he vows to
pursue her. But Daniel has an enemy, one who has vowed to see him dead.
And when Anne is thrown into peril, he will stop at nothing to ensure
their happy ending .
King of the Isles by Debbie Mazzuca
Some men are born to rule…
She’ll find him a bride if it’s the last thing she does.
And
it very well might be. Evangeline may be powerfully persuasive in her
way, but convincing the notoriously wild Highland king Lachlan MacLeod
to strengthen his alliances with a strategic marriage seems to be asking
the impossible. Stubborn and proud, Lachlan seems determined to go
against her will, even if it means endangering the people he’s sworn to
protect and the enchanted isle that has already seen so much discord.
Yet
the battle-scarred Highlander cannot ignore his sultry advisor for
long. When his mentor is kidnapped, forcing him to ride into combat
alongside the beautiful Evangeline, he must choose between her safety
and his own independence. It’s a choice he makes in an instant…but once
wed to the woman he could not resist, he’ll soon find that his heart is
in even greater danger than his kingdom…
Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson
Christine wakes up every
morning in an unfamiliar bed with an unfamiliar man. She looks in the
mirror and sees an unfamiliar, middle- aged face. And every morning, the
man she has woken up with must explain that he is Ben, he is her
husband, she is forty-seven years old, and a terrible accident two
decades earlier decimated her ability to form new memories.
But
it’s the phone call from a Dr. Nash, a neurologist who claims to be
working with Christine without her husband’s knowledge, that directs her
to her journal, hidden in the back of her closet. For the past few
weeks, Christine has been recording her daily activities—tearful
mornings with Ben, sessions with Dr. Nash, flashes of scenes from her
former life—and rereading past entries, relearning the facts of her life
as retold by the husband she is completely dependent upon. As the
entries build up, Christine asks many questions. What was life like
before the accident? Why did she and Ben never have a child? What has
happened to Christine’s best friend? And what exactly was the horrific
accident that caused such a profound loss of memory?
Every day,
Christine must begin again the reconstruction of her past. And the
closer she gets to the truth, the more un- believable it seems.
Rushed To the Altar by Jane Feather
Jasper Sullivan, Earl
of Blackwater, needs a prostitute. Not in the usual way, however. His
wealthy uncle's will promises to divide his huge fortune among his
nephews if each rescues a fallen woman ... by marrying her! And since
Jasper's estates were already mortgaged to the hilt before he inherited
them, when he catches a pretty young prostitute trying to pick his
pocket, he immediately makes his proposal.
Clarissa Astley is not
at all what Jasper believes. The orphaned daughter of a prosperous
merchant, she is searching the seedier districts of London for her young
brother, abducted by their evil guardian, who wants the little boy's
inheritance. But she needs powerful help, and the darkly handsome Earl
of Blackwater is certainly that. So she pretends to be exactly what he
assumed --- a risky charade for an innocent virgin. But when passion
flares between Jasper and Clarissa, the deception becomes even more
difficult to handle .
Coveted by Shawntelle Madison
SOMETIMES WHAT YOU COVET IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP.
For werewolf Natalya Stravinsky, the supernatural is nothing extraordinary. What does
seem strange is that she’s stuck in her hometown of South Toms River,
New Jersey, the outcast of her pack, selling antiques to finicky magical
creatures. Restless and recovering from her split with gorgeous
ex-boyfriend, Thorn, Nat finds comfort in an unusual place: her
obsessively collected stash of holiday trinkets. But complications pile
up faster than her ornaments when Thorn returns home—and the two
discover that the spark between them remains intense.
Before Nat
can sort out their relationship, she must face a more immediate and
dangerous problem. Her pack is under attack from the savage Long Island
werewolves—and Nat is their first target in a turf war. Toss in a
handsome wizard vying for her affection, a therapy group for the anxious
and enchanted, and the South Toms River pack leader ready to throw her
to the wolves, and it’s enough to give anybody a panic attack. With the
stakes as high as the full moon, Nat must summon all of her strength to
save her pack and, ultimately, herself.

Logan's Outlaw by Elaine Levine
Confident and coolheaded, nothing shakes a Man of Defiance—except a woman he can’t resist...
Sarah
Hawkins survived capture by the Sioux, but after her escape she faced
public scorn. Now, she’ll do anything to start over, and the dusty town
of Defiance promises the anonymity and security she needs. Before she
melts into the shadows, though, it’s her mission to put a great
injustice to rights, and that means jeopardizing her safety once more.
But
this time, she’s not alone. Without meaning to, Sarah has fallen under
the protection of Logan Taggert, a rough-and-tumble trader unused to
caring for others—and yet unable to ignore the tempting, tenacious
woman’s plight. Though she refuses to trust him, Logan won’t leave her
side, keeping her one step ahead of danger…even as she takes hold of the
very thing he never thought he’d risk: his heart.
