' Perfection...This is the kind of story that sucks you in and you forget what is going on around you.' - NetGalley reviewer, 5* *** Regency England When rebellious aristocrat Cressida and Lord Greville parted ways, they swore never to meet again. Their short marriage had already descended into bitter estrangement, destroyed by scandal and betrayal. Years later, Greville is a soldier in the Peninsular War and Cressida is following the drum as another man's lover. Scorned by society, she has learned to survive as a spy – until the day she is caught behind enemy lines, by none other than Greville himself. Threatened with paying the ultimate price, Cressida is offered a deal: she must entrap and betray the most famous man in England. And Greville, unforgiving, angry and still shockingly attractive, must ensure she complies. Catapulted to the heights of fame, Lord Byron is just as chaotic, charming and ruthless as he was when he, Greville and Cressida were teenagers. As the three old friends gather for a summer house party in the Scottish Highlands, Cressida is forced to confront her past and ask herself a terrifying question: is it too late for she and Greville to fight for one another at last? *** Readers LOVE Katy Moran: 'It's smart, sexy, suspenseful and witty all in one.' - NetGalley reviewer, 5* 'This book is probably going to be among my top 10 favourite books I read in 2024.' - NetGalley reviewer, 5* 'If you're searching for a book that seamlessly blends captivating characters with a compelling plot, this is a shining example.

A manifesto for revealing and reclaiming un-ladylike behavior from the New York Times bestselling authors of Act Like a Lady and hosts of the popular podcast LadyGang. Every lady has a secret. A secret so humiliating, embarrassing, scandalous, or disgraceful that you haven’t told a soul—not your closest friends, family, lovers, or doctors. There is so much shame surrounding hiding secrets, and, frankly, enough is enough. The truth is, there is power and freedom in releasing those dirty little secrets out into the big, bad universe. It gives you that same sweet relief as taking off an underwire bra at the end of a long, crappy day. That’s why Keltie Knight, Becca Tobin, and Jac Vanek—hosts of the LadyGang podcast—set their secrets free: the good, the bad, and the diarrhea. The LadyGang wanted to offer their large and loyal community a chance to join them in exposing the messy truths of their lives, and so, Lady Secrets was born: confessional essays from the trio themselves and an incredible crowdsourced collection of secrets from other ladies around the world. Secrets ranging from silly little white lies to cringey misadventures to soul-baring truths. And as it turns out, exposing your deepest and darkest helps you realize that we are all way more alike than we could have ever imagined. Everyone seems to have a bizarre body malfunction, a hookup gone terribly wrong, and a soul-crushing experience that haunts them forever. And maybe that elaborate revenge plot you carried out against your cheating ex was actually kind of badass (in spite of being slightly illegal). It’s time we stop feeling ashamed of our (un)ladylike habits and own the real, raw, and ridiculous things that make you authentically you.

Oliver Tremayne--gentleman and clergyman--is determined to discover what happened to his sister, and he's happy to accept the help of the girl now living in what should have been Beth's summer cottage . . . especially when he realizes it's the curious young lady he met briefly two years ago, who shares his love of botany and biology.

As Libby and Oliver work together, they find ancient legends, pirate wrecks, betrayal, and the most mysterious phenomenon of all: love.

In this third installment of Tracey Devlyn's Nexus Spymasters series, readers will swoon over this opposites attract and secret identity story between a boudoir spy and a mysterious proprietress whose paths collide while searching for the same missing boy. Welcome to Nexus Spymasters, a Regency historical romance series by USA Today Bestselling author Tracey Devlyn. From ballrooms to boudoirs, these daring lord and lady spies will stop at nothing to win the war against Napoleon and fight for the one thing forbidden to them. . . love. He’s persuasive, alluring, and determined to have her—even if it destroys his carefully laid plans. Sydney Hunt has dedicated her life to protecting those in service from the machinations of noblemen like Viscount Danforth, a gentleman who spends more time in the boudoir than in the House of Lords. Now, the viscount wishes to engage her employment agency, though she can’t shake the feeling there’s more to his request than finding him a new butler. Determined to uncover his hidden motives, Sydney insists upon a lengthy, intrusive vetting process. Unfortunately, the more she’s around his silver tongue and emerald eyes, the more she falls under his spell, endangering her carefully built reputation—and a secret that, if uncovered, could destroy everything she holds dear. Spymaster Ethan deBeau, Lord Danforth, trades in the type of secrets wealthy wives whisper in the comforts of the bedroom—and he never misses an opportunity to serve the Crown. When the trail in locating a missing boy leads him to the Hunt Agency, he finds its proprietress even more enticing than the career promotion her information might grant him. Sydney is nothing like the sophisticated ladies he’s used to seducing, yet the notorious rake finds himself drawn further into her mysterious world, even if it complicates his mission. As Ethan turns the full force of his will on Sydney, she must ensure her heart remains shut or risk exposing her own secrets—and letting their attraction put them both in grave danger.

According to the plan, the marriage was supposed to be elegant. The Children, accomplished. The woman behind it all...complete and delighted, with a fragrant life. But then a pregnancy went horribly wrong. A business failed. "Things happened," here and there, a little at a time. Ten years in, life was adequate, but not the way the original vision promised. Familiar with this scenario? The ladies brought together for Secrets of a Fulfilled Woman know how the script can be written. They don't rely on talk-show queens, magazine secrets, or marriage-encounter fads. Instead, women like Barbara Peretti and Rexella Van Impe long ago began to rely on Jesus Christ as the author and finisher of their faith. It is for that reason the fulfilled life of a woman is attainable. These high-profile women will make you feel hopeful, like you were sitting down over a cup of coffee to discuss how your life can stay on track. Their stories are true and inspiring and able to show how careers, personal lives, spirituality...all of it...are attainable goals.
