Diana Gabaldon

The year is 1945. Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an “outlander”—in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of Our Lord...1743.

Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life, and shatter her heart.

Anna Harrington

No good deed goes unpunished…and no blackguard unloved.

Lucien Grenier, Duke of Crewe, prides himself on his reputation – selfish, black, and wicked. Or, at least, that’s what he wants everyone to believe. What better way to keep society from discovering his secrets? But when rumors arise that he is doing good deeds for charities, children, reformers—even nuns—he has far more to lose than his wicked reputation; he might just lose his dukedom.

Jessamyn St Claire is determined to hit Lucien where it hurts most—his black reputation. Eight months ago, he ruined her sister, and now Jess wants retribution. Her plan? To take Lucien from rakehell to respected peer unless he marries her sister. But as Jess works to rehabilitate his character, she discovers that Lucien’s bad reputation is mere pretense. The more she uncovers, the more she learns of his goodness…and the more he captures her heart. Soon, it isn’t Amanda whom Lucien wants to marry but Jess.

Little does she know that there’s one remaining secret with the power to destroy them both…

The Marriage Method

★ 4.42

Mimi Matthews

The Academy always comes first . . . which makes marriage to its most formidable adversary an exceedingly inconvenient arrangement.

Well removed from London’s more curious eyes, the Benevolent Academy for the Betterment of Young Ladies strives toward one clandestine to distract, disrupt, and discredit men in power who would seek to harm the advancement of women—by appropriate means, of course.

When intrepid newspaper editor Miles Quincy starts to question the school’s intentions, the Academy appoints Penelope “Nell” Trewlove, one of their brightest graduates, to put this nuisance to rest. An easy enough mission, she supposes. Or it would be, if Miles wasn’t so fascinating—too fascinating to resist—and if Nell’s visit to London didn’t perfectly coincide with the murder of one of Miles’s reporters.

When the inexorable claws of fate trap Nell and Miles in a compromising situation, they agree to an arrangement that will save their reputations while enabling them to investigate the story that led to a man’s death, as well as the surprising chemistry between them . . .

The Good Duke

Christi Caldwell

Only previously offered in serial installment through Kindle Vella…and now, for the first time ever in print and ebook format comes Simon Broadbent, the Earl of Primly’s story.

In Book One of Christi Caldwell’s steamy, emotionally driven, Licentious Lords series a brooding duke determined to marry without love is reunited with the childhood friend who once meant everything to him—until betrayal tore them apart.

An Unrepentant Duke
Simon Broadbent, Duke of Greystoke, never planned to return to England—let alone to the ghosts of his past. But duty demands he take a wife, and the sooner he secures a proper, passionless match, the sooner he can leave again.

A Rule-Breaking Governess

Persephone Forsyth has always been a force of nature—wild, untamed, and utterly unpredictable. Once, she and Simon had been inseparable friends, until life—and mistakes—tore them apart. Now, cast out from the only home she’s known, she takes refuge in the unlikeliest of his London townhouse.

An Explosive Reunion

When fate throws them together once more, old wounds and buried emotions resurface, forcing them into an uneasy arrangement. But as desire sparks and past betrayals linger, neither is prepared for the dangerous pull between them—or the way their carefully laid plans begin to crumble.

Some bonds were meant to be broken. Others refuse to be forgotten. And when the heart is involved, even the safest choices can come at the greatest cost.
