The Lady and Her Dukeby Ruth A. Casie

Could she use her skills as a lockpick to crack open the secrets to the murder as well as unlock his heart?

Lady Katherine Thornton has no interest in men after an indiscretion at her disastrous Season in London. No man can be trusted. Instead, she indulges in her fascination for gears and all things mechanical. Her unique drafting skill is an asset to her uncle Bennett Sutton, who is automating his textile factory. She doesn’t need anything else.

Lord Ian Wallace, the 4th Duke of Blackhall, is a retired military officer. An accidental duke after the deaths of his father and brother, he retreats from society and the clawing mothers and debutantes who stalk him. He’s focused all his energy on his partnership with Sutton. He’s satisfied and needs nothing else.

An oath to marry, a family legend to preserve, an uprising of the factory workers, and Sutton’s murder, throw Katherine and Wallace together to find a blackmailer and murderer.

They also will find two things neither knew they were missing…each other and their happily ever after.

Lady, No Moreby Cerise Deland

She’s through with love.

Lady Laurel Devereaux prided herself on her sterling reputation, even as she overlooked her two younger sisters’ foibles and their ailing grandfather’s little peccadilloes. She always adored frolicking in fountains and dancing before breakfast. But those were innocent delights compared to the one night she left a ballroom to play the piano alone—and a charming man joined her to play a duet that became a mad love affair.

He quickly proposed and just as quickly jilted her. Now she’ll marry only for friendship or security or children.

He’ll never give her up again.

Now Hadley, Viscount Grey, arrives in Brighton and vows to win Laurel back. But this time, his greatest problem is not overcoming his competition or challenging Laurel’s vow to remain a proper lady, but her decision to never love another man.

How can he convince her that she simply never stopped loving him?

Scotch Soulmateby Jessica Mills & Ali Parker

I’m falling for my enemy, and things are getting hot fast.

They say a man can’t fight City Hall, but they haven’t met me yet.

When the land the ranch needs to expand is sold to build a new prison instead, there’s no way I’m going to let that ride.

The only problem is, my nemesis is the one in charge.

She’s a ball-busting bureaucrat who just happens to be the hottest woman I’ve ever seen.

She’s also a single mother whose pre-teen son is just hitting his rebellious phase.

Some time on the ranch can help the boy, but nothing can help the way I’m starting to feel about his mother.

Will she keep putting her career first, or will the ranch get in our way?

We might face more action than a rodeo, but this time I refuse to be bucked off.

I’m holding on to her for dear life…
