Jane Austen Cannot Marry!

May McGoldrick, Jan Coffey

Sinossi

"POWERFUL AND POIGNANT…I LOVED THIS BOOK."
- Jane Porter, NYT Bestselling Author
A FISH-OUT-OF-WATER TIME TRAVEL NOVEL
SET IN REGENCY ENGLAND
AND THE 21ST CENTURY COLORADO ROCKIES
Nadine Finley has made the quantum commute to 1811 to stop Jane Austen from meeting and marrying Captain Charles Gordon. The two of them share a romantic past, and if Nadine fails in her mission, Jane will never get to London. The fledgling author will never get her first book ready for publication. And if the novel is never readied for the presses, Jane will never go back home and revise the manuscript that will eventually become Pride and Prejudice. In short, disaster.
The mission instructions were plain and simple: Jane Austen cannot marry.
Except...matters become extremely complicated when the Scribe Guardian's own romantic interest unintentionally follows her across the centuries to 1811.
Xander Nouri is a tech billionaire who is cheerfully unfamiliar with both history and literature. He has also forged a life where he is insulated from the non-quantifiable uncertainties of feelings and romance. In fact, the only time he let his guard down was for three wildly unexpected days in Las Vegas when he allowed his heart to be fondled and then stomped on by an elusive woman named Nadine. Xander lives in a world of reason, facts, and data…none of which explain her appearance, dressed in period clothing, in a coffin a mile from his secluded mountain home.
And her claim of time traveling doesn't exactly compute.
It's not long before sparks once again begin to fly between the former lovers. But Nadine needs to get back to her mission before literary history is permanently damaged. By the time she's able to make the quantum leap back in time, Jane Austen and the captain have already met again...and romance is brewing.
To complicate matters, Xander has made the trip, as well. And Xander is the unlikeliest 'nerd-out-of-water' ever to land on Regency shores.

Spirit of Steel

Jessica Barberi

I feel like this is enough: Ciran has emerged as the prophesied leader who will challenge the Empire's iron grip on Perinthia. With the aid of his growing army of deserters and a partnership with a fierce turquoise dragon, he's quickly spreading hope, and cutting Empire supply lines. 
The Empire however is not ready to fall. Responding to a growing discontent amongst the soldiers as the food supply shrinks, the officers have turned their arrows directly at the dragon rider's chest, for they understand him to be the heart of the resistance. 
But a successful revolution is not won by only one man, and even a prophet must understand his own limits. The success of the revolution hangs on Ciran's ability to build a coalition of capable others to lean on and lead with him, for his fate is not so certain.
