Book Description
Hoping for a fresh start after her messy divorce from the “ex-husband-from Hell,” Maddie Stewart has returned to her hometown of Penn’s Hollow to run her family’s historic bed and breakfast. Maddie is tired of being gossiped about, lied to, and – oh yeah – cheated on. So she is in no way ready to date again. That is until she meets Noah, the genie – sorry, jinn – she accidentally releases from his bottle late one night. Condemned to life as a jinn back in 1955, former farm boy and ex-Air Force pilot Noah Foster has served quite a few masters – or mistresses, if you prefer – over the decades. However, he's never had a mistress quite like Maddie. Not only is she smart, sexy, and beautiful, she's also not afraid of him. Not even a little bit. Maddie is also thoroughly modern and has some very strong opinions about what jinns and mistresses should and shouldn’t do together – at least as long as they don’t break any of the rules that govern the world of the jinn. As Maddie struggles to decide upon her three wishes, Noah must pretend he’s a travel writer and attempt to live outside of his bottle without anyone discovering he’s really a jinn. A jinn who just happens to be falling in love with his mistress. And for a jinn, falling in love with a human is most definitely against the rules. Can Noah find a way to be with Maddie, even for a little while, or will his love end up costing him more than he could have ever imagined? This 93,500-word novel is written in the modern romance style for a slightly hotter read. It may not be appropriate for younger audiences.

Lord Phineas Trew, the Duke of Fullbridge, must take a wife. Or rather a new wife. He is a widower, after all. However, after a string of balls, house parties and other social events, he is no closer to selecting a young lady to become his bride and his new duchess – save for one woman who is strictly-off limits. As the social season comes to a close, Phin decides to host one last house party in a desperate attempt to find the right woman. Or at least find a woman he can tolerate. Lady Josephine Marshwood is not in London under the best of circumstances. Her disgraced, scandal-attracting father, the Earl of Telford, has been found dead in the Thames. Thankfully, Josie has still been allowed entrance into Society so that she might make a decent match – and she believes that she has with the Duke of Fullbridge. However, everyone has been quite clear that Josie needs to avoid the duke at all costs, unless she wishes to stir up more gossip. Taking a risk, Phin invites Josie to his house party, hoping that if they spend more time together, he might grow bored with her or discover that they do not suit. After all, he is most certainly the wrong lord for her. Or is he? As Phin and Josie grow closer, they must decide if love will win the day, or if scandal and gossip will doom their chance for happiness. This 77,200 word novel is written in the modern, Regency romance style for a slightly hotter and sexier read. It may not be appropriate for younger audiences.

However, when Eli appears at her front door in the middle of a blizzard, she can’t decide whether to kiss him or slam the door in his face. As Eli attempts to win Christi’s forgiveness, secrets from his past threaten to destroy any chance he has with the woman who has always held his heart. Can Christi forgive Eli for breaking her heart?

A bookish daydreamer, Lady Rebecca St. John, sister of the notorious Viscount Sutton, is firmly on the shelf. Viewed by many as plain, she has also suffered from debilitating megrims her entire life. Now her only marriage prospect is a gentleman who wishes to see her wedded, bedded, with child and stashed in the country so he can spend her dowry on gambling debts. Hoping to preserve some shred of dignity, she’s made the decision to retire from Society and live a quiet life in the country. There’s only one problem – the estate she’s chosen is also home to a man who has fascinated her for the last two years. Given away as a child due to a birthmark, Aaron Dunn has spent his entire life hiding in the shadows. Unable to make a living doing anything else, Aaron has settled into life as, of all things, an ornamental garden hermit at Marfield Meadows, one of the Sutton viscounty estates. While it’s hardly the life he desires for himself, he’s also well aware that the mark on his face leaves him no other choice. However, when Aaron learns that Becca, the woman who has been the center of his fantasies for the last two years, is planning on retiring to Marfield, he wonders if, once again, he’ll have to make a new life for himself elsewhere. When Aaron rescues Becca from an attack on the estate, the two finally meet face to face. They also discover that what they both believed was a one-sided attraction is, instead, a fiery passion between them that neither of them can ignore. Can Becca and Aaron find a way to be together?
