Soon another mystery presents itself: who is the stranger that pursues them, and how does she know so much about their quest?

Harriet: A Jane Austen Variationby Alice McVeigh

“McVeigh’s plotting and prose are pitch-perfect” (Publishers Weekly)

Harriet is an intriguing and original ‘take’ on Jane Austen’s immortal Emma, by Publishers Weekly’s 2021 BookLife Prize quarterfinalist, Alice McVeigh.

Emma, a privileged young heiress, decides to mentor Harriet Smith, a pretty boarding-school pupil, and to matchmake her as eligibly as she can… But how is she to guess that Harriet has a secret?

Meanwhile, the brilliant, penniless Jane Fairfax consents to a clandestine engagement with Frank Churchill – though not daring to confess, even to him, that she is being relentlessly pursued by her best friend’s husband.

Harriet sidelines Emma herself in favour of the ingenious Harriet and the fascinating Jane Fairfax. It is Emma – but an Emma with a surprisingly believable twist in its tail.

“A dynamic take on a revered classic. This is still Austen’s Emma—but the story that unfolds through the recollections of these two ‘side’ characters feels remarkably fresh… With or without an understanding of Emma, Harriet contains a fully formed narrative that should satisfy even the choosiest Austen fans… Readers will rarely find the words ‘page-turner’ and ‘Jane Austen’ in the same sentence, but McVeigh’s impeccably written Harriet certainly fits the bill.” (IndieReader editorial review)

“An enchanting recreation of Austen’s world” (author James Conroyd Martin)

Choking on the Splinters by Jim Lively

Charles Pierce thinks he has it all figured out at last. He’s bought a building to use as an art gallery, creates new paintings almost every day, dates a smart and beautiful woman, and hired a marketing whiz to promote his upcoming gallery opening and art show. So why isn’t everything exactly what it seems? Why does he keep finding hints and clues that people who show up in his life and at his gallery aren’t completely honest with him?

And how did the guest bathroom in his gallery become the most popular spot in the entire place? What’s really going on in there? Something illegal and dangerous?

He can choose to ignore his suspicions, or he can get in touch with the detectives who saved his life last year. Either way, Choking on the Splinters isn’t an option.

The Touch of a Stormeby Sandra Sookoo

Storms are oftentimes disruptive, but they can also clear a path and bring perspective.

The Honorable Isobel Storme is a lady adrift. Her family is broken, loud, emotional, and busy with other pursuits. As the youngest in the Storme connection, she’s always fought for attention, but now that change is imminent and inevitable, she craves a distraction in the form of a scandal, and if there’s a handsome man involved, all the better as long as he doesn’t come with a title, for she despises the ton.

Doctor Royce Marsden is a surgeon of small acclaim. Though he’s the oldest son to the Earl of Worchester, his calling and his passion is running a clinic for wounded and rejected soldiers. Though he has no plans to do the pretty in society or to court a woman, he can’t avoid that reality when his father unexpectedly dies and plunges him into the title. Too bad the one woman who’s caught his eye is wildly and inappropriately improper.

As passionately intense affair develops between Isobel and Royce, the pair embraces the heated attraction with enthusiasm. Free from commitment, they dance perilously close to creating the sensation Isobel has always wanted. But when life—and death—catch them into its swirling vortex, responsibilities intrude, as do expectations tied to the beau monde.

Though fear and pressure hold them back, if they don’t fight for a happily ever after, it will never be theirs.

Reaching for Foreverby Tara Eldana

For him, it was lust at first sight…For her, she couldn’t take her eyes off of him… CAUTION: Sexy page-turning read, totally unputdownable. #LoveAtFirstSight #SecretBaby #HappyEverAfter

Flora Hargrove is a school teacher, a normal kind of gal who is all about family and friends. So when her best friend needs undercover help to save a teen that’s gone missing, she’s all in — stripper pole and all.
Of course Mandy wasn’t totally straight with Flora, so when she donned her outfit, or should we say ‘took off her clothes’, she was more than a little embarrassed until it let loose something inside of her she never knew she had.
Then one thing led to another and now she’s pregnant (yes, it happened that fast).

Rex Reddington is struggling with his new life. He’s literally a jack-of-all-trades and now finds himself helping his PI friend moonlight on a kidnapping case that’s about to come down. Problem? The criminals were onto them and they needed to take cover — so they each took one of the dancers for a lap dance in one of the private rooms. And it should have stopped there. But it didn’t…it went too far. But no regrets.
Even when they met months later and he found out he was a soon-to-be dad.

You don’t have to be married to be a parent, but there was no way in hell he was letting this one get away.

“— an amazing read. This book has it all, intrigue, humor, action, and of course steamy romance. I am going to read more of her books”
