Cottonbloom is the perfect place for starting over, finding your way back home—and falling head over heels. . . Ella Boudreaux hasa lot to prove to her family, friends, and foes—and to herself. So when her marriage ends she decides to invest her energy and money into a place that brings back some of Ella’s happiest memories: the Abbott brothers’ garage. Maybe, if she puts her mind to it, she can teach skeptical, stubborn Mack Abbott how to make the business a true success. Which would be a lot easier if the hunky mechanic didn’t make her motor run quite so fast…and hot. Mack was furious when his brother, Ford, sold his share of the business. He’s in no rush to team up with a wealthy divorcée who shows up to the garage in stilettos—and the longest, sexiest legs he’s seen in forever. But Ella’s grit and determination won’t quit…and soon Mack can see that she’s been down a few rough roads herself. Neither Mack nor Ella can deny the fierce attraction that’s revving upbetween them. Could it be that true love has been in the backseat all along…and they’ve finally found the key?

An enormous debt to Lord Rafe Drummond is the final indignity. Signing over her dowry is their only choice. Until Lord Drummond suggests something much more scandalous.

Can a single night’s deception lead to a lifelong love? On the eve of her wedding to a man she detests, Brynmore McCann can think of only one way to escape—by ruining herself—but the local lads leave her wholly uninspired. Just as she’s ready to accept her fate, she spots Maxwell Drake, home after nearly a decade. Even though he had loved her sister when they were young, Bryn has always considered him hers, and she can’t think of anyone she’d rather have bed her for the first time. Only she never intends for him to uncover her real name. Upon returning home, Maxwell is stunned by the news that his father may have left him an inheritance. As the unacknowledged by-blow of a local nobleman, Maxwell struggles with resentment over the way he and his mother were treated by his father and the village. To add to his troubles, he discovers the lass he spent an incredibly satisfying night with was not the village whore, but the high-born sister of his first love. He insists Brynmore travel with him to Edinburgh until they determine if she is with child. Because if she is, she’ll marry him whether she wants to or not. Along the road to Edinburgh, they are attacked by persons unknown. As the list of suspects who want them dead grows longer and his worries deepen, Maxwell prepares for an even more personal battle—how to keep from surrendering his heart to Brynmore. Warning: Contains a broody Scotsman, a fiery-haired lass, and a night of passion that changes everything. Readers are encouraged to bring a fan.

Stargazer, astrologist, tea-leaf reader… Lady Geneva Dorn has heard the disdainful descriptions bandied about for years. In truth, she is a scientist, an astronomer to be exact. And she is on the cusp of an incredible discovery—a new comet. Assassin, hero, soldier for hire… All true to some extent, but Selwyn McKelvey prefers the term opportunist. He’s brought down villains and despots. Now he’s ready to plant roots at a peaceful cottage by the sea. He just has one last criminal to eliminate. Only the brash, beautiful, extremely intelligent Lady Dorn hardly matches the description of a hardened murderess he was given. Something very inconvenient occurs around her. He develops a conscience… and a weak spot for her sharp mind and gorgeous body. In order to prove her theory—and finally gain recognition for her work—Geneva has to arrive in Scotland by summer solstice, only one week away. She doesn’t trust Wyn as far as she can throw him (which wouldn’t be far at all), but she needs an escort and he is her only option. It seems more than one faction of the extremely competitive Royal Society is out to steal her research and shut her up for good. But on whose side will Wyn fall?
