  Modern-day American "prince" Ellis Faraday has a problem: he's been a frog for a year, his time before hibernation is ending, and he's afraid there will be nothing left of him come spring. The castle-house up the hill seems like a promising place to start looking for a cure… if he can convince a human to take him seriously. A conversation—and maybe a kiss—with the pretty man who owns the koi pond might do the trick.
  
  
  On a Friday night, Galen Townsend just wants to curl up and read in the backyard of the house he shares with his brothers, but the frog addressing him from the wall of the koi pond has him questioning his sanity. Moreso when he gives the frog a peck on the nose—just to be nice—and the frog becomes a handsome, precious man.
  
  
  Unfortunately, Galen's "cure" proves temporary. After a few hours, Ellis is back to hopping and croaking, but at least he has an ally and a warm place to stay. Now they just have to keep Galen's brothers from discovering a frog in the house while they work out how to break the spell. How many kisses can it possibly take?

  A city boy. A small town cowboy. A love that rewrites the rules. 
  Lucas 
  At twenty-five, I thought I had my life figured out—steady job, big-city dreams, and a clear path to the top. But one work assignment to Sagebrush, Texas, is all it takes to throw my carefully laid plans off course. My job is to charm the locals, uncover their secrets, and steal prize-winning barbecue recipes for our next line of frozen dinners. Oh, and not a soul can know. 
  It should’ve been simple. Until Beau Turner came along. 
  Beau, with his rugged charm, quiet strength, and those piercing blue eyes that see right through me. Beau, whose smile makes my chest ache in ways I can’t explain. Falling for him wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was falling into his bed. 
  But Beau isn’t just some small-town cowboy I’m having a heated fling with. He’s the reigning barbecue champion whose recipe I’m supposed to steal. Now, I’m trapped between the man I’ve fallen for and the career I’ve worked so hard to build. If I make the wrong choice, I could lose it all. 
  Beau 
  I’ve spent my whole life in Sagebrush, keeping things simple: family, ranching, and perfecting my barbecue recipe. Love? Never been in the cards—especially not with someone like Lucas Greene. 
  Tall, charming, and completely out of place in my world, Lucas is everything I didn’t know I needed. The way he looks at me makes it hard to breathe, and the way he kisses me makes me want to believe in something more. Nights spent under the stars with him in my arms feel like a dream, but I know he wouldn’t choose a dusty place like Sagebrush to call home, not when he’s got so much to live for back in New York. 
  But when the truth finally comes out, it’s not just my heart that’s on the line—it’s everything I’ve worked for. And I don’t know if love is enough to fix what’s broken between us.

  Jodi Burkitt is alone again. Her ex took everything with her—the friends, the fun, and the daughter that Jodi had loved like her own. She's got plenty to distract her from the empty days and nights, especially her latest home renovation project. 
   
   
   
  When Jodi discovers a hidden jewelry box in the walls of the home she's renovating, she turns to her ex's friend, librarian Michele Galveston, to help piece together the mystery inside the box. 
   
   
   
  Michele Galveston is anything but a quiet librarian—she sings in a local band and has a talent for never following anyone's rules but her own. Michele has a reputation for rarely staying with a woman for more than a few months and Jodi knows she should steer clear. But the closer they get to solving the mystery in the jewelry box, the closer Jodi and Michele get to each other. 
   
   
   
  Will Jodi risk her heart again—especially for someone as emotionally unavailable as Michele? And will Michele finally find a way to trust someone enough to share the secret she's kept hidden for so many years? With Jodi's wounded heart and Michele's love 'em and leave 'em history, it's likely that love songs and life might be two very different things.

  A gorgeous and meticulously-researched historical fiction examining a young woman’s struggle to escape unexpected poverty and find autonomy and purpose in early New England. 
  Mankind are always seeking after happiness in some way or another. 
  ~ Leavitt’s Farmer’s Almanac, 1805 
  The fall from beloved wife of the town blacksmith to widowed pauper was swift. Margery Turner sits in the Thorneboro, New Hampshire Meetinghouse on the second Tuesday of March, 1805. She and the other indigent town residents wait their turn to be auctioned out to the lowest bidder who will accept the paupers into their homes in return for town funds. The young widow and an abandoned child named Agnes find themselves taken in by farmer and ciderist Samuell Wheeler and his elderly mother, renowned bed rug maker Hannah Wheeler. Margery swears to herself that she will not forever remain a pauper in purse or purpose. 
  Secrets and sorrows live on the prosperous farm. An itinerant Abenaki stonemason, Sozap Wzôkhilain, known as Joseph, joins the household and touches each of their lives in unexpected ways. The farm is the setting for danger and tragedy as well as simple joys and blossoming love. In Pauper Auction strangers become friends, confidantes, and lovers. Tragedy becomes hope, and a family of the heart help each other find their futures, together and apart. 
  Rich and atmospheric period description and a strong sense of New England enhance the immersive narrative. Meticulously researched details of early 19th century foodways, and the crafts of blacksmithing, traditional stone wall building, needlework, hearth cooking, and hard cider-making bring Margery’s world to life. The novel is a perfect bookclub pick with themes that transcend time. A significant Afterword and Discussion Questions are included in the book.
