Invitation to his Billion-Dollar Ball by Cara Colter
A few words from author Cara Colter…
How would you like to go to a billion dollar ball? Let me invite you into my fairy tale world, where I can wave a pen (or tap a keyboard, as the case may be), and conjure a castle out of mid-air. Or in the middle of Maine! Also part of this enchantment is a mysterious (gorgeous!) guy who appears to be an outlaw, but may be something else, entirely. I like to think this story is just like the perfect lobster po’boy that the hero, Jesse, and the heroine, Layne, are in search of: sometimes sweet; sometimes spicy; and always a bit surprising! You won’t want to ever say good-bye to these two, and you don’t have to, because they appear again in Michele Renae’s brilliant follow-up, Cinderella’s One-Night Surprise.
– Cara
Cara’s Editor, Carly Says…
Let Cara Colter whisk you away into your very own fairy tale in the first instalment of the Fairy Tales in Maine duet. Perfect for fans of Gilmore Girls, Cara’s story is packed full of enduring female friendship, compelling emotion, a local bad-boy Prince Charming and a dash of spice!

Nurse’s Nine-Month Surprise by Carol Marinelli
A few words from author Carol Marinelli…
There is a very special joy and freedom when it comes to writing Medical Romances.
I love a surprise pregnancy and all the angst and drama that comes with unexpected news. I have written quite a few and usually the exciting part (for me) is when the heroine has to tell the hero the consequence of their night of passion.
However, on this occasion I had the pleasure of turning things around and it was the gorgeous and very proper Richard who first had to process the news. Oh, and then it was up to him to tell the unsuspecting Sorcha!
– Carol
Carol’s Editor, Carly says…
After nurse Sorcha saves a stranger with the help of ER doc Richard, she drops her guard with him for one night which leads to life-changing consequences when Sorcha discovers she’s pregnant – and Richard is her new colleague! Perfect for fans of one-night-to-baby and workplace romance. No one does the rollercoaster of pulse racing medical drama, captivating romance and tear-jerking emotion quite like Carol Marinelli!

Rush to the Altar by Abby Green
A few words from author Abby Green…
I hope you enjoy this fast-paced glimpse into a marriage of convenience between racing driver Cassian and housekeeper Lili – I can highly recommend the research process, watching multiple episodes of Drive To Survive!
– Abby
Abby’s Editor, Sheila Says…
Abby Green is a master at creating intense emotion and captivating passion, and will whisk you into a world of untold wealth and glamour. Race to the Altar is no exception, from the moment I entered this story I was seduced by the beauty and seductive glory of Lake Como and the sensual brooding power of Abby Green’s trademark hero. Who can blame the heroine for never wanting to leave? I wanted to revel in this story forever and I know anyone who reads it will too!

The Lord’s Maddening Miss by Lucy Morris
A few words from author Lucy Morris…
I think this is my funniest book yet! Maggie is an eternally optimistic, plus-size heroine who hides her secrets amongst a mountain of red curls. Hawk is the grumpiest of brooding Lords, who just wants to be left alone… Or does he? Will this feisty Scot entice this reclusive Lord out of his study? Or will she once again be left on the shelf? I hope you love this couple as much as I do, they were a delight to write, causing me to kick my feet several times! This book is also a very romantic end to a wonderful series. A Season To Wed, following four brothers-in-arms returning from Waterloo who need to find a wife! All can be read as stand-alones, but my book brings all four couples together in a sweet epilogue. Check out the other books in the series: Only an Heiress Will Do, The Viscount’s Forbidden Flirtation, and Their Second Chance Season.
– Lucy
Lucy’s Editor, Helena says…
This opposites attract, grumpy x sunshine, Regency romance is your perfect match for a summery day! Whisky-making Maggie is a heroine like no other, and guaranteed to steal your heart. Endlessly sunny, she may get knocked down – literally, at one memorable point, by all six foot something of the infuriatingly attractive Lord Hawksmere, in a croquet hoop-related accident! – but she never stays down for long, nor hesitates to give anyone a piece of her mind. I was charmed by her from page one, and watching her get beneath the gloriously grumpy Hawk’s stern exterior had me giggling, swooning, and blushing as red as Maggie’s hair! If you’re looking for a Historical packed with warmth, fantastic humor and a lovely helping of spice, do yourself a favour and pick up this brilliant book.

Not So Fast by Karen Booth
A few words from author Karen Booth…
Have you ever stuck your foot in your mouth? Have you ever done it and had something good come out of it? That’s what happens in Not So Fast – American Formula One podcaster Mia Neal offers some salty takes on British driver Xander Bishop and her popularity skyrockets. It also puts her in the crosshairs of Xander, who’s already receiving plenty of heat from his own team for his poor performance, thank you very much. When Mia and Xander meet, it should be all-out war. But instead, there’s something very hot sparking between them…
– Karen
Karen’s Editor, Stacy Says…
Not So Fast by Karen Booth is the spicy, frenemies-to-lovers, Formula 1 sports romance fans have been waiting for. It’s already received rave reviews, including a starred mention from Publishers Weekly saying, ‘Of the recent crop of Formula 1 romances, this one’s way out in front.’ A sweet and spicy ride in the fast lane!
