"Lady Piper Brudenall hoped, prayed, and pleaded for her brother to return to London and rescue her from the marriage her mother arranged for her. Heartbroken by her brother's apparent abandonment, Piper knew she had no one left to trust. Leaving behind life as she knew it, she ran away from it all.
Connor MacKintosh relishes the chance to take control of the Marquis of Aylesbury's estate, Dinton Grange, while his sister and her husband were on their honeymoon. Getting his hands dirty evolves into a far more fascinating undertaking when he encounters a bonny lass. As taken as he is by her, Connor realizes the mysterious woman is running from something, or someone. Unfortunately, he can be of no help to her if she persists in running from him.
Wariness of strangers has kept Piper's presence at the Grange a secret for more than two years. However, while distrust hasn't entirely guaranteed security, it has ensured loneliness. When Connor comes along, she's torn between her head and her heart. She'd be a fool to put her faith in another man.
As Piper's past threatens to catch up with her, Connor will do anything to keep her safe. Whether she will trust him with her life and her heart."
"James has watched his brothers find the perfect woman one after the other, but for him, he had yet to stumble across one who didn't make him want to put an ocean between them. So he did, thinking a life in New York would put his discontent out of sight.
New York suffragette Primrose had more than enough men trying to control her. There was no chance she'd relent and marry again, despite her brothers' dogged 'encouragement' on the matter. She wanted independence and freedom. A husband would only serve to snatch that dream away.
What Prim needed was a decoy and James was just the man for the job. Having failed in his search for the perfect woman, James is happy to help Prim, but only because avoiding matchmakers serves his purpose. However, James soon discovers that even a fictitious courtship with a woman set on never remarrying has its challenges.
For Prim, the courtship begins to feel all too real. It doesn't take long before she realizes there is a certain freedom to be found in marriage to the right sort of man.
It's only when betrayal and despair leave them both longing for more in their lives that they realize the importance of a love worth having, and a question worth asking."
"In this spicy, humorous addition to the Questions for a Highlander series, Angeline Fortin continues the adventures of the MacKintosh clan with the tale of how Harry met Fiona and broke her heart.
They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned but Fiona MacKintosh was more inclined to believe that after a long, furious journey through hell, no scorned woman was apt to be inclined to love and entrust her heart to a man so easily again.
Especially not to the same man!
Harry Brudenall, Marquis of Aylesbury, has devoted so much of his life to finding his long-lost sister that he's almost forgotten what it feels like to live. Fiery and passionate, Fiona is life. In her, he finds a reason to embrace the present and live for the future. If only she'll have him.
Fiona is determined to find a man and marriage meant for her convenience and the handsome, charismatic, heartbreaking marquis, Harry Brudenall, is not on her list. But when danger looms unexpectedly, and it is her life rather than her heart that is in peril, she soon realizes that there is only one man she wants to turn to for protection.
One man who will prove his love . . . and without question, give his life for her."

She’s MI6’s leading AI weapons specialist.
When artificial intelligence turns deadly, they’re humanity’s last defense.
INFIDEL
I’ve built impenetrable walls—both digital and emotional—my entire life. After being betrayed in the worst way, I vowed never to let another woman close. Then Dr. Margot Sterling hacked her way into my systems and my life with infuriating ease. Now, we’re hunting a deadly AI weapons system while someone threatens her safety inside my ancestral home. Each day we work together, I find myself more drawn to her brilliant mind and quiet strength. But with a shadowy consortium closing in and betrayal lurking in every corner, I must decide if protecting my heart is worth risking everything we're fighting for.
LEX
I didn’t expect to find myself at Blackmoor Castle, working alongside the enigmatic Conrad Carnegie. His reputation for being cold and calculating precedes him, yet glimpses of the man beneath the aristocratic facade intrigue me more than I care to admit. As we delve deeper into Project Labyrinth and uncover connections to my former mentor’s work, threatening messages warn me to trust no one—especially at Blackmoor. The chemistry between Con and me is undeniable, but with hidden tunnels, encrypted messages, and dangerous conspiracies surrounding us, giving in to these feelings could be our deadliest mistake yet.
While each book in the Protectors Undercover Team One series features one couple and a guaranteed HEA, the series may be more enjoyable read in order."

AND ONE TEMPLAR KNIGHT PLAYED A PIVOTAL ROLE.

"Through a series of interviews with a wide range of people connected to Pink Floyd in their earliest days (including Nick Mason, Peter Jenner, Jenny Fabian, Storm Thorgerson, Duggie Fields and Peter Whitehead), John Cavanagh paints a vivid picture of how this remarkable debut album was created. He brings to life the stories behind each track, as well as Pink Floyd's groundbreaking live performances of the time.
EXCERPT
The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is a wondrous creation often seen through the distorted view of later events. These things have served to overshadow the achievement of The Pink Floyd on their debut album: an outstanding group performance; a milestone in record production; and something made in much happier circumstances than I had expected to find...This is not another book about ''mad Syd''. This, instead, is a celebration of a moment when everything seemed possible, when creative worlds and forces converged, when an album spoke with an entirely new voice. ''Such music I never dreamed of,'' as Rat said to Mole."
