SEASON FOR DESIRE by Theresa RomainHoliday Pleasures # 4
PROPERLY WICKED
Like her four
sisters, Lady Audrina Bradleigh is expected to marry a duke, lead fashion, and
behave with propriety. Consequently, Audrina pursues mischief with gusto,
attending scandalous parties and indulging in illicit affairs. But when an
erstwhile lover threatens to ruin her reputation, Audrina has no choice but to
find a respectable husband at once.
Who would guess
that her search would lead her to Giles Rutherford, a blunt-spoken American on
a treasure hunt of his own? When a Christmas snowstorm strands the pair at a
country inn, more secrets are traded than gifts—along with kisses that require
no mistletoe—and Audrina discovers even proper gentlemen have their wicked
side…

ONCE UPON A PLAID by Mia MarloweSpirit of the Highlands # 2
A wife may be courted, too…
Many would count
Katherine Douglas fortunate indeed. Laird William Douglas is broad-shouldered,
gentle-handed, everything a lass could dream. But after four years of marriage,
Katherine still knows little of what goes on in his heart. And she has yet to
bear him an heir. The distance between them is too great—and so she flees over
the snowy highlands to Glengarry Castle, home of her childhood, to set her husband
free.
But William won’t
let his wife slip away without a fight. Before long, he’s at her father’s
threshold himself, witness to the rumbles of discontent in Glengarry, the
bright joy of Yuletide at a family hearth, and the hidden needs of his own
beloved…

Mia
Marlowe learned
much of what she knows about storytelling from singing. A classically trained soprano,
she devised back stories to prepare for operatic roles. Since she’s worn a real
corset, and had to sing high C’s in one, she empathizes with the trials of her
fictional heroines. But in Mia’s stories, they don’t die in a Parisian garret.
They get to live and keep the hero! Mia loves history, art, music and travel.
Especially travel. Good thing, since she’s lived in 9 different states and is
embarrassed to admit she’s lost track of how many times she’s been to Europe.
She regards her frequent moves as vacations on which she drags along all her
stuff. Currently, she and her DH make their home in New England.

MADELEINE’S CHRISTMAS WISH by Ella Quinn
The Marriage Game # 5.5
The bachelors in Ella Quinn’s Marriage Game
series make a habit of resisting the irresistible. But during the season for
giving, surrendering to temptation may be the greatest gift of all…
A French spy,
Georges, Marquis Cruzy-le-Châtel, has lived in England for years, sacrificing
his life for his country—but not his heart. For he’s never been able to forget
his childhood friend, Madeleine. And now, in her hour of need, he is there to
rescue her…
The victim of a ruthless statesman,
Madeleine, Comtesse du Beaune, has been abducted and sent to England to work in
a brothel. Her greatest wish is to return home for Christmas, and her only hope
of it is to marry Georges—though she will be his wife in name alone. Yet as
they steal across the snowy countryside, Georges decides to woo her—with kisses
that melt the winter’s frost and leave her longing for a holiday miracle…

The Oath Trilogy # 1
A man of honor. A woman of spirit.
As the new
castellan, Sir Nicholas Beringar has the daunting task of rebuilding Ravenmoor
Castle on the Scottish border and gaining the trust of the locals—one of whom
wastes no time in trying to rob him. Instead of punishing the boy, Nicholas
decides to make him his squire. Little does he know the thieving young lad is
really…a lady.
Lady Elizabet
Armstrong had donned a disguise in an attempt to free her brother from
Ravenmoor’s dungeons. Although intimidated by the confident Englishman with his
well-honed muscles and beguiling eyes, she cannot refuse his offer.
Nicholas senses
that his new squire is not what he seems. His gentle attempts to break through
the boy’s defenses leave Elizabet powerless to stem the desire that engulfs
her. And when the truth is exposed, she’ll have to trust in Nicholas’s honor to
help her people—and to surrender to his touch…

Diana
Cosby, a retired Navy Chief
Petty Officer, owes her passion for writing to a gypsy childhood of living,
traveling and experiencing various cultures throughout the world. An avid

naval officer with over 22 years of service, including a tour in Iraq. She is
blessed with three loving children: Eric, Stephanie and Christopher, and enjoys
the company of her dog, Duncan Trevor MacGregor, and two cats, Bad and Brat.

The Cursed Princes # 3.5
THE WEREWOLF’S SERVANT
Thorncliff Towers
is done up for Christmas, secure against wind and wolves. But Karina Petri is
shut out, too, and the gypsy witch wants what’s inside. She envies the gifts,
the feast, the pretty clothes, of course. But her true desire is for the love
of Constantin Stoica. Her smolderingly handsome childhood friend agreed to
serve Lord Draven after his brother was caught stealing last year. He suspects
Karina was involved—and it would take more magic than she possesses to make him
forgive…
Constantin has
always been drawn to Karina’s dark curls, flashing eyes, and reckless ways. But
trusting her has proven dangerous before, and this night holds more to fear
than most. The wrong decisions could cost him his job, his safety—even his
life. But letting Karina go could cost him his heart…

skies of Arizona, she would reside in a historic manor house in foggy England
if she had her way. Her love of books began as soon as she read her first fairy
tale and eventually led to a degree in English Literature. Now, with her loyal
Maltese close by, she relishes the hours she gets to escape into worlds filled
with fiery—but not easily attained—love affairs. She’s busy being a wife, a
mother, and a member of Romance Writers of America, but she is never too busy
to hear from her amazing readers. Visit her at www.marinamyles.com.
The Redcakes # 5
The sweetest gift
is the hardest to unwrap…
Lady Victoria
Allen-Hill never dreamed she’d be a widow at twenty-one—let alone a virgin. Her
father insists that she attend a matchmaking house party in the snow-covered
seaside town of Pevensey in hopes she’ll find a suitable husband. But for
Victoria, it’s an opportunity to indulge in a passionate affair—and the
handsome inventor she meets at the Christmas Eve masquerade ball may be just
the man for the job…
Lewis Noble is the
cousin of London’s famed Redcake sisters, so it almost stands to reason that
he’s just as irresistible as one of their sugar-iced pastries. Lewis catches
the eye of every woman at the party—but Victoria is the only one who catches
his. He won’t be tied down in her father’s business, but watching other men
court her amid a flurry of engagements ignites a jealousy he’s never felt
before. A dose of honesty may be just the thing to mend their broken hearts—for
many holidays to come…
