A Kiss from the Marquessby Lana Williams

A reclusive marquess meets a spirited lady and nothing will ever be the same.

Norah Wright is filled with guilt for what happened the day her father died while digging for treasure on Oak Island. Determined his work isn’t forgotten, she finds the perfect museum to display the few artifacts he found. But convincing the absentminded marquess who owns it to agree is a challenge.

Simon Webb, the Marquess of Vanbridge, carefully cultivates the artifacts on display at the Museum of Antiquities. His quiet and reclusive life focused on history helps ease the pain of his youth. He doesn’t fit in with Society, nor does he care to…until Norah barges into his world.

Though her eldest sister wants her to find a husband, Norah seeks adventure after their sheltered upbringing on the small island. She has no intention of marrying until she’s had a chance to truly live.

An unexpected kiss with Norah, who is opposite of him in every way, shocks Simon. She’s strong-willed, has more friends from her brief time in London than he’s made his entire life, and stirs a passion within him that he didn’t realize was possible.

When one of Norah’s father’s artifacts goes missing from Simon’s museum, along with several others, the pair must work together to uncover the thief even as desire burns between them, putting everything they hold dear at risk.

Highland Silverby Elizabeth Rose

From admired warriors to outcasts in a blink of an eye, these rugged Highlanders are out to find redemption.

Gluttony, lust, pride, and greed, might sound like deadly sins. However, they are nothing compared to the wrath of Old Callum MacKeefe if you break his rules while drinking in his tavern!

The Accused: Highlander, North MacKeefe. His greed, wanting what he cannot have, is the cause of all his problems.

The Crime: North has broken Old Callum MacKeefe’s tavern rule number five: No one touches their chieftain, Storm MacKeefe’s, silver chalice.

The Punishment: Since it was North’s fault that the chalice was stolen when his twin brother accidentally set the tavern on fire, now North must pay dearly for his mistake. He’s burdened with the impossible task of finding and bringing the chalice back to the Highlands. When he follows a lead and ends up across the border at Montclair Castle, he’s lucky enough to find what he is looking for. The only problem is, Lady Matilda has the chalice attached to a chain that she wears around her waist.

The Border Lord’s Cousin: Englishwoman, Lady Matilda Montclair has seen her family killed by Scots when she was just a child. The silver goblet her father gave her on her sixth birthday was stolen, but now, she’s lucky enough to find it again. To keep it from being stolen during a masquerade dance held at the castle, she’s chained the thing around her waist for safekeeping. She’s a widow with a young son and a sullied reputation. If she is ever going to find another husband at her age, she’s decided to add this goblet to her dowry. However, a mysterious man shows up in her tower room one night, trying to steal the chalice from her.

Two people who should never fall in love both covet the same possession that can make or break their futures. Will love win over the need for retribution, even if the love interest is from the wrong side of the border?

You’ll discover how to find the business model that works perfectly for your personality, and learn key concepts – such as the Golden Goose and the Keyless Life – to help you work less and earn more.

Nothing But a Rakeby Abigail Bridges

He believes love is an unattainable goal. She is facing a marriage without it. But when their paths cross in a mud-drenched alley, both discover something neither thought possible—hope.

Four years ago, Lord Michael Ashton stood at a crossroads in Gretna Green, abandoned, penniless, and determined neither would happen again. The third son of the Duke of Kennet, Michael left his family for a life in the darkest streets of London. Now his father has delivered an ultimatum, and Michael faces a steep climb out of the gutter.

Lady Clara Durham struggles to find her place in Society as well. She is too round and too smart to please most aristocratic gentlemen, and far too quick with her tongue. But with her father’s health declining, Clara agrees to marry the Duke of Wykeham, a prickly man with ulterior motives.

Everything shifts, however, when Clara’s kitten disappears down an alley. Clara darts after her, tripping headlong into a mudpuddle behind the Kennet stables. When Michael helps her up, he becomes fascinated by this woman who loves horses, talks about hunting with a falcon, and is more interested in finding her cat than cleaning off the mud.

The sparks that fly between them leave both determined to help each other out. But their struggle to make new places for themselves in London’s Society explodes into a conflict between three powerful families that results in a horse race with their future at stake and a duel that could destroy them both.
