Book Description
She might have been married to his father, but there was no way he was going to call Lady Violet Forbes "stepmother," especially since he'd been the one to introduce her to pleasure all those years ago. Ten years ago, Violet betrayed the man she loved...by marrying his father. It wasn't her fault, not exactly (you know how these things go), but Malcolm was, quite frankly, more than a little put out by the news. Now, as the widowed Countess of Hatwaring, she wields power and wealth in her young son's name, but nine-year-old Brom's small empire is wobbling. Violet needs to start selling off some of his estates in order to maintain the rest...which means angering the man who already thinks her far too brazen. His secret is the love which still shames him. Malcolm Forbes, the illegitimate son of the Earl of Hatwaring, always thought of himself as academic and stoic. A decade of managing one of his father's far-flung estates taught him to think before he acts, but when he receives a letter from his father's widow-and the only woman he's ever loved-stating her intentions to sell his home, he reacts most rashly. Now they've made a brazen bargain. A deal is made, and after a mere month as the young earl's tutor, Malcolm will secure the deed to his home. Unfortunately, this means a month with the one woman who can enrage his anger-and his passions-unlike anyone else. Violet, meanwhile, is determined to earn his forgiveness, even if it means risking everything she's hoped for, and revealing her secrets. This likely won't end well. WARNING: Of course it'll end well, it's a romcom. Be prepared for an angsty hero, a cheeky kid, quite a lot of embarrassing puns, and some really smoking bedsport. This second-chance secret baby romance will leave you laughing!

Book Description
They haven't quite managed to tame her wild streak. It is to be The Match of the Season. At least, that's what Lady Carlotta Merritt, sister to the cool and aloof Duke of Cashingham, has been told repeatedly by her mother. The Dowager is beyond thrilled about her daughter's engagement to Society's most eligible bachelor, Lord What's-His-Face. Carlotta, on the other hand, would much rather be gallivanting around her brother's Yorkshire estate, falling out of trees or fishing in the streams or reading one of her naughty books in the shade on a summer day. But her mother has made it very clear that she's to behave herself, as befitting the sister of a duke, and Carlotta has been trying, honest. But when Mother is called up to Scotland, she invites Carlotta and her fiancé to follow...sans chaperone. That's when her brother volunteers his own brother-in-law-the illegitimate Scotsman with a charming grin, a wicked reputation, and battered hands which make Carlotta think all sorts of wicked thoughts-to tag along. And he knows all the best ways to be wild. Keith Oliphant knows exactly who he is; the natural-born son of an earl, a close friend to the laird of his clan, and the best damned bare-knuckled boxer in all of England and Scotland combined. These hands of his have done things most men can only imagine, and now they face their biggest challenge yet; holding the safety of a duke's sister, one whose smile and love of adventure make him yearn for things he can't have. Especially since she's engaged to the complete clot-heid who is sitting between them in the coach. Aye, this journey to Scotland will be a difficult one, despite the opulence of traveling with a duke's sister. Between his impossible desires, Lord What's-His-Face the fiancé, and Carlotta's own wild streak, Keith suspects he's facing his biggest challenge yet: when he delivers Carlotta to the duke, will she still be a virgin? Warning: There's naughty bits. A lot of them. And probably some ridiculously contrived accidents to get the pair of them together sans clothes. And of course, plenty of inappropriate jokes and eye-rollingly bad puns. Get ready for another hilarious Victorian RomCom, with all the best laughs you've come to expect from Caroline Lee!

From USA Today Bestseller Grace Callaway 2023 ORWG Heart Award Finalist A spirited lady detective. A buttoned-up spy for the Crown. A steamy marriage of convenience that threatens to lay bare their secrets…and their hearts. When her overprotective family tries to curtail her activities, spirited and independent debutante Fiona Garrity decides marriage is her surest way to freedom. All she needs is an accommodating, and preferably not too perceptive, husband with his own hobbies so that he will not interfere with hers. Destiny puts her into the path of a reputedly staid and scholarly earl. He would be the perfect candidate…if only his grey eyes were not quite so magnetic, and his virile nearness didn’t affect her in such a stimulating manner… After the death of his first wife, Thomas Morgan, the Earl of Hawksmoor, has sworn off love. He is torn between his duty to produce an heir and his true passion: his work as an agent of the Crown. Fate gives him a solution when a dazzling debutante proposes a practical union that would allow them both to maintain private lives. She would be an impeccable choice…if only her heavenly gaze didn’t lay bare his secret needs and her delectable form didn’t tempt him to unleash his darkest desires… Fiery passion threatens the negotiated rules of Fiona and Hawk’s marriage. As desire turns into love, their secret lives collide. Will their marriage of convenience survive betrayal and danger to become a love for all time? “This writer to me is in the leagues of Johanna Lindsey, Lisa Kleypas, Julia Quinn and Amanda Quick.” -Amazon Reviews Grace's books feature sizzling hot historical romance, fun and feel-good happily ever afters, and exciting mystery and adventure.

Book Description
An infamous Earl makes an indecent bet with his beautiful nurse in this sexy Victorian romance series debut. Known as a brazen philanderer, Hayden Milton, Earl of Westfield, is almost done in by a vengeful mistress who aims a gun at a rather essential part of his anatomy—but ends up wounding his thigh instead. Recuperating in his London townhouse, Hayden is confronted by his new medical attendant. Sophia Camden intrigues him, for behind her starched uniform is an enticing beauty better suited for bedding than dispensing salves and changing bandages. Unshaken by his arrogance, not to mention impropriety, Sophia offers Hayden a dare: allow her ten days to prove her competency. If she resigns in exasperation like her two predecessors, she will be beholden to this wicked seducer. As a battle of wills begins, Sophia finds herself distracted by the earl’s muscular physique . . . and discovers that the man within longs only for a second chance to love.
