Summary

In Hay-Wire, B.M. Bower delivers a captivating tale set in the heart of Wyoming's rugged landscapes, where familial strife and personal ambition collide. Lynn Hayward, a 22-year-old burdened by the decay of his family's ranch and the oppressive control of his irascible, invalid father, finds himself at a crossroads. The discovery that a seemingly destitute prospector, long aided by the Haywards, harbors a hidden fortune ignites a fire within Lynn to reclaim his destiny. As he grapples with betrayal, the weight of legacy, and the complexities of love, Lynn embarks on a transformative journey. Bower's narrative masterfully intertwines themes of resilience, self-discovery, and the pursuit of purpose, painting a vivid portrait of life on the American frontier. Hay-Wire is not just a Western; it's a profound exploration of the human spirit's capacity to overcome adversity and forge a new path.

    As far as William Easton—the Duke of Blackheath—is concerned, love can go to the devil. Why would a man need passion when he has wealth, a stately home, and work to occupy his mind? But no one warned the duke that a fiery and frustratingly strong-willed activist like Lady Beatrice Haven can also be a stunning dark-haired siren who tempts a man’s mind, body, and soul. Lady Beatrice is determined to never marry—ever. She would much rather fight for the rights of women and provoke the darkly handsome Duke of Blackheath, even if he does claim to be forward-thinking. After all, dukes—even gorgeous ones—are the enemy. So why does she feel such enjoyment from their heated exchanges? But everything changes when Beatrice finds herself suddenly without fortune, a husband, or even a home. Now her future depends on the very man who sets her blood boiling. Because in order to protect his esteemed rival, the Duke of Blackheath has asked for Beatrice’s hand, inviting his once-enemy into his home... and his bed. Each book in the Never a Wallflower series is standalone.

    1897. Rosamund bows her head and steps slowly down the aisle. The satin of her gown whispers against the stone floor and a single tear falls into the bunch of yellow roses twisted in her trembling hands. Despite rumours of his cruelty, Rosamund has no choice but to become this man’s second wife.
    
     
    After her wedding, Rosamund finds herself trapped in Sir Lucien Fitznorton’s lonely country estate. As she wanders the chilly halls, made shadowy by drapes of heavy velvet, she longs for the lost comforts of her childhood home, where she was the beloved only daughter to a doting father, now buried miles away. As a young woman with no fortune of her own, only death can release her from this misery.
    
     
    Until she meets Joseph, her husband’s gruffly handsome new chauffeur. With his mop of salt-and-pepper hair and lilting accent, Joseph is from another world. One of clambering children and tea at scrubbed kitchen tables, the hollow scratch of hunger and long hours of hard work. Despite their differences, they find themselves increasingly drawn to one other.
    
     
    But Sir Lucien is not only cruel, he’s devious too, and soon Rosamund finds herself caught in a dangerous web of secrets and lies. Is Rosamund’s fragile marriage nothing but a golden cage, trapping her between two men who desire her… and to what end?
    
     
    One holds her captive and the other offers a hope of escape… but who really holds the key to Rosamund’s gilded prison?
    
     
    A gripping and emotional historical novel, fans of Lucinda Riley and Tracy Rees won’t be able to put this book down.

    Lord Julian Caldicott, still recovering from his years at war, is tasked with investigating the circumstances of a small boy who could be either the salvation of the Waltham dukedom or a pawn in a scheme to sink the Caldicott family in endless scandal. The boy is alone in the world, though any one of several women might be his mother, and they all claim that Julian’s brother, the late Lord Harry Caldicott, was the child’s father. 
    To uncover the boy’s parentage, Julian must face demons from his own past, solve puzzles left behind by Lord Harry, and thwart enemies who wish the lad harm for reasons of their own. His investigation takes him from barracks, to brothels, and to Hyde Park by dark of night. The longer he searches, the more tangled—and dangerous—the mystery becomes, for Julian and for the innocent child who deserves to know the truth of his own birthright.
