  In this funny Regency romance series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn’t know what’s hit it… 
   
  With her four older sisters now married, it’s Patience Shackleford’s turn to take charge of her younger siblings’ education. But given that Patience’s most prodigious skill is lock picking, any abilities she passes on to her younger sisters are unlikely to provide any assistance in the drawing rooms of the genteel, especially as she has no interest in either high society, or horror of horrors… marriage. Indeed, her father the Reverend Augustus Shackleford is firmly of the opinion that the less society knows about his fifth daughter the better… 
   
  When Grace and Temperance, now married to influential members of the ton, offer to take her in hand and bring her out, both Patience and her father are entirely horrified. For once in total accord, they endeavour to hatch a plan to somehow avoid the upcoming Season. 
  But that’s before a chance meeting with the enigmatic and undeniably handsome Marquis of Guildford when Patience discovers that lock picking is exactly the expertise he happens to be looking for… 
   
  Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humor and a little bit of steam.

  Alaskan Explorer Mikhail Amos can count the number of bad decisions he’s made in his life on one hand. But when he’s called out on the cusp of winter to track down and rescue a team of lost botanists in the wilds of Alaska, he can’t say no. It doesn’t matter that every last instinct tells him he won’t get the team out before winter. The scientists on the expedition are someone’s father and brother. Mikhail knows what it’s like to lose both of those, and he’d never wish that loss on another person. 
  But as Mikhail soon discovers, the team also happens to include the lead scientist’s daughter, Bryony Whetherby, whose ability to survive in the wilderness and knack for drawing maps intrigue him in a way no woman ever has before. 
  But people on the team are carrying secrets, and Mikhail soon isn’t sure what holds the most danger, the encroaching Alaskan winter, the secrets between the members, or lowering the walls he’s built around his heart. Can love survive when survival itself is uncertain? 
  From a USA Today bestselling author comes a frontier family saga filled with a rugged explorer, a dangerous journy, and love that heals wounded hearts.
