No one can play the game like her… Though her title is lady now, Mirabelle Smith wasn’t always. Bastard daughter to the Earl of Easton, she grew up without any of her father’s wealth or power to protect her. Which is why when she determines to be the belle of next London’s season, she knows that playing fair won’t get her what she most desires. The only way to win is to use every trick she’s carefully stashed up her lace cuff. Because if growing up on the wrong side of London has taught her anything, it’s that cheaters often win, and gambling only works if you know how to play… The problem? She needs the help of a certain baron. Partial owner of a new gaming hell, Hell’s Corner, Baron Boxby’s part of her dark world and the glittering ton that’s just past her reach… But how to convince a man who doesn’t want any entanglements to aid her quest? A bet ought to do nicely… Are you a fan of Bridgerton? Julia Quinn? Sabrina Jeffries? Tessa Dare? Kate Bateman? Regency romance? Check out, Lords of Temptation!

"Much Ado About Baseball is the best children's book I've read in the past 10 years!" -Brad Thor, New York Times bestselling author of the Scot Harvath series "A moving tale of baseball, magic, and former rivals who come together to solve a problem." -Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW In this companion novel to Midsummer's Mayhem, math and baseball combine with savory snacks to cause confusion and calamity in the town of Comity. Twelve-year-old Trish can solve tough math problems and throw a mean fastball. But because of her mom's new job, she's now facing a summer trying to make friends all over again in a new town. That isn't an easy thing to do, and her mom is too busy to notice how miserable she is. But at her first baseball practice, Trish realizes one of her teammates is Ben, the sixth-grade math prodigy she beat in the spring Math Puzzler Championships. Everyone around them seems to think that with their math talent and love of baseball, it's only logical that Trish and Ben become friends, but Ben makes it clear he still hasn't gotten over that loss and can't stand her. To make matters worse, their team can't win a single game. But then they meet Rob, an older kid who smacks home runs without breaking a sweat. Rob tells them about his family's store, which sells unusual snacks that will make them better ballplayers. Trish is dubious, but she's willing to try almost anything to help the team. When a mysterious booklet of math puzzles claiming to reveal the "ultimate answer" arrives in her mailbox, Trish and Ben start to get closer and solve the puzzles together. Ben starts getting hits, and their team becomes unstoppable. Trish is happy to keep riding the wave of good luck . . . until they get to a puzzle they can't solve, with tragic consequences. Can they find the answer to this ultimate puzzle, or will they strike out when it counts the most?
