"She promised she wouldn’t fall for her best friend's brother. But a summer in Italy might change everything…
Out of all her friends, Rose is the ‘single’ one. She isn’t lucky in love; in fact, she’s the opposite. So, when her best friend Katie decides to whisk her away for a few weeks of sun and relaxation, of course, she says yes.
There’s only one problem – they’re off to visit Katie’s brother, Thomas, at his magnificent Italian ranch. And Rose is petrified of horses.
Deep in the Tuscan countryside, Rose leaves her mundane accounting job behind and begins to settle into life on the ranch. It is just as beautiful as she expected, but she is shocked to discover how much Thomas has changed; the shy teenager she used to know has morphed into a handsome cowboy with a dazzling smile, and she knows she’s going to find it hard to keep her cool around him.
When Katie is unexpectedly called home for an emergency, Rose is left alone with Thomas. As she helps him care for a pregnant mare, she faces her fears and begins to see herself—and Thomas—in a new light.
But as her feelings deepen, Rose must decide if she’s ready to trust her heart again. Is Thomas as wonderful as he seems, or is she risking it all for another heartbreak?"
"Bridgerton meets vampires in this spicy historical romance.
Afflicted by a mysterious illness since childhood and without a single interested suitor, Adelina Gray is certain she'll never have a husband to call her own—someone to love, to build a life and family with. Her sickness has caused her to cling to shadows, an outcast in the glittering and luxurious ballrooms of Everborough.
While stumbling through a dance at yet another soirée, Adelina catches the eye of the rich and powerful Viscount Rosetti, society's most eligible bachelor—a man desperate mothers will do anything to secure for their daughters. Adelina is certain she'll never be good enough for him. How could she ever be worthy of a viscount when even the common gentleman finds her ailments to be a disgrace? But the fire in his eyes says otherwise, as does the smoldering heat of his forbidden touch.
Despite her father's fervent disapproval, Adelina allows the viscount to court her secretly. She begins to unravel his mysteries, discovering he’s something straight out of a blood-soaked fairy tale. His kiss awakens something within her, a hunger that's been bound in chains for far too long. Now she's ready to break free, even if it means tearing apart the only life she's ever known."

When the Magnifique comes to her hometown, seventeen-year-old Jani hatches a plan to secure jobs there for herself and her younger sister, longing to escape their dreary life.

Lady Jane Lyttelton had always done precisely what was expected of her—until the moment she stood at the altar beside an aged duke. Rather than seal her fate, she ran. Disowned by her family and shunned by Society, her future seemed hopeless . . . until an unexpected inheritance offered her a chance at independence and a second chance at life.

When Jane saves his life in a dark London alley, he finds himself drawn into her troubles and into feelings he cannot afford to have.
But danger lurks in every shadow. As Alistair’s investigation regarding the questionable deaths of men in his Army company takes a deadly turn, Jane refuses to remain safely out of harm’s way. To protect her, he must confront his past and the man intent on destroying them both. Yet the greatest battle he faces may be against his own heart, for to love her could cost them everything.
A Brilliant Defiance continues as the sixth novel in the Courting the Unconventional series by author Laura Beers. This is a light-hearted, clean, and wholesome romance set in the Regency era. All books in this series have their own Happily-Ever-After and are best enjoyed in proper order."

Perfect for fans of clean historical romance and strong heroines, Sarah's story is a powerful tale of resilience, healing, and the hope found in unexpected places."

"When the railroad comes to town, some fights are worth everything.
Thomas Hayes has spent four years building a life in Shamrock Ridge—a successful blacksmith shop, a respected place in the community, and a promising marriage to mail-order bride Fiona Long. But when railroad developers arrive with generous buyout offers and veiled threats, Thomas's carefully constructed world begins to crumble.
As neighbors turn away and the community fractures under pressure, Thomas considers the one thing he swore he'd never do again: run. But Fiona didn't abandon everything in New York to watch her husband surrender to shame. She's learned what it means to fight for what matters, and she won't let fear win—not in their marriage, and not in their town.
With friends rallying and enemies closing in, Thomas must choose between the safety of surrender and the courage to stand for what's right. Because sometimes the only way to prove you're not a coward is to face the fight that terrifies you most.
A story of love, loyalty, and the price of doing what's right when everything is at stake."
