Twelve Letters

Ellie Thomas

Sinossi

In Regency London, Jolyon Everett is determined to dissuade his irascible friend, Captain Ben Harding, from fighting a duel. However, before commencing on the pressing business of defusing Ben's misplaced anger, Jo writes two notes -- one to Percy Havilland, his very demanding paramour, and the other to his tailor, Daniel Walters. With those trifles out of the way, he can concentrate on persuading Ben to reprieve young Edward Stephens, a newly qualified doctor, who Jo suspects has a serious crush on Ben.


But the best-laid plans can go awry, as do the letters. As well as a furious Ben, Jo finds himself at the mercy of an outraged Percy and an amorous tailor. Can he convince Ben not to shoot Edward after all? Will he soothe Percy's ruffled feathers? And might Jo realise true love can be found under the most unexpected conditions?

The Black Sheep and the Rotten...

K.A. Merikan

“How does one start a relationship with another man when it is forbidden?” “One needs to decide that the other man is worth dying for.”
Cornwall, 1785
Sir Evan Penhart. Baronet. Highwayman. Scoundrel.
Julian Reece. Writer. Wastrel. Penniless.
No one forces Julian Reece to marry. Not his father, not his brother. No one. When he is thrust into a carriage heading for London to meet his future bride, his way out comes in the form of an imposing highwayman, riding a horse as black as night. Julian makes a deal with the criminal, but what he doesn’t expect is that despite the title of baronet, the robber turns out to be no gentleman.
Sir Evan Penhart is pushed into crime out of desperation, but the pact with a pretty, young merchant’s son turns out to have disastrous consequences. Not only is Evan left broke, but worse yet, Julian opens up a Pandora’s box of passions that are dark, needy, and too wild to tame. With no way to lock them back in, rash decisions and greedy desire lead to a tide that wrecks everything in its way.
But Julian might actually like all the sinful, carnal passion unleashed on him. How can he admit this though, even to himself, when a taste of the forbidden fruit could have him end up with a noose around his neck? And with highway robbery being a hanging offense and the local constable on their back, Julian could lose Evan before he can decide anything about the nature of his desires.

Come Unto These Yellow Sands

Josh Lanyon

Once a literary bad boy, Professor Sebastian Swift now confines himself to teaching poetry at a quiet Maine college—and trying not to self-destruct. 
When one of his most gifted students turns up bruised, frightened, and implicated in the murder of his powerful father, Swift makes a choice that could cost him everything: he helps the boy disappear. 
Unfortunately, Swift’s lover—Stone Coast Police Chief Max Prescott—is leading the investigation. 
Convinced his student is being framed, Swift retreats to his family’s isolated island bungalow to track him down and uncover the truth. But on a windswept shore where the past lingers like sea mist and loyalties blur as easily as footprints in sand, Swift begins to realize he may have misjudged more than just the case. 
As suspicion deepens and the body count threatens to rise, Swift must decide how far he’s willing to go to protect someone he believes in—and whether his relationship with Max can survive one more act of reckless faith. 
Because love, like poetry, is rarely simple. 
And sometimes the wrong choice is the only one that feels right.

While there, he makes the discovery of a lifetime, guaranteed to make them all millionaires ...

He enters the saloon, hoping for a little warmth and perhaps a meal. What he finds is Church Chetwood, the director whose documentaries have fascinated him for years. Mr. Chetwood buys him that meal, and Johnny willingly goes with him to his rooming house, ready to do whatever Mr. Chetwood wants, even if Mr. Chetwood claims he isn't "like that." Is Johnny's luck about to take a turn for the better? After all, Mr. Chetwood has a plan to get out of town, and if Johnny's really lucky, maybe Church will let him come along.
