PROPERLY WICKED
Holiday Pleasures # 4
PROPERLY WICKED
Like
her four sisters, Lady Audrina Bradleigh is expected to marry a duke,
lead fashion, and behave with propriety. Consequently, Audrina
pursues mischief with gusto, attending scandalous parties and
indulging in illicit affairs. But when an erstwhile lover threatens
to ruin her reputation, Audrina has no choice but to find a
respectable husband at once.
Who
would guess that her search would lead her to Giles Rutherford, a
blunt-spoken American on a treasure hunt of his own? When a Christmas
snowstorm strands the pair at a country inn, more secrets are traded
than gifts—along with kisses that require no mistletoe—and
Audrina discovers even proper gentlemen have their wicked side…

Historical
romance author Theresa Romain pursued an impractical education that
allowed her to read everything she could get her hands on. She then
worked for universities and libraries, where she got to read even
more. Eventually she started writing, too. She lives with her family
in the Midwest. Please visit her at http://theresaromain.com.
ONCE
UPON A PLAID by Mia Marlowe
Spirit of the Highlands # 2
Spirit of the Highlands # 2
A
wife may be courted, too…
Many
would count Katherine Douglas fortunate indeed. Laird William Douglas
is broad-shouldered, gentle-handed, everything a lass could dream.
But after four years of marriage, Katherine still knows little of
what goes on in his heart. And she has yet to bear him an heir. The
distance between them is too great—and so she flees over the snowy
highlands to Glengarry Castle, home of her childhood, to set her
husband free.
But
William won’t let his wife slip away without a fight. Before long,
he’s at her father’s threshold himself, witness to the rumbles of
discontent in Glengarry, the bright joy of Yuletide at a family
hearth, and the hidden needs of his own beloved…

Mia
Marlowe learned
much of what she knows about storytelling from singing. A classically
trained soprano, she devised back stories to prepare for operatic
roles. Since she’s worn a real corset, and had to sing high C’s
in one, she empathizes with the trials of her fictional heroines. But
in Mia’s stories, they don’t die in a Parisian garret. They get
to live and keep the hero! Mia loves history, art, music and travel.
Especially travel. Good thing, since she’s lived in 9 different
states and is embarrassed to admit she’s lost track of how many
times she’s been to Europe. She regards her frequent moves as
vacations on which she drags along all her stuff. Currently, she and
her DH make their home in New England.
MADELEINE’S
CHRISTMAS WISH by Ella Quinn
The
Marriage Game # 5.5
The
bachelors in Ella Quinn’s Marriage Game series make a habit of
resisting the irresistible. But during the season for giving,
surrendering to temptation may be the greatest gift of all…
A French spy,
Georges, Marquis Cruzy-le-Châtel, has lived in England for years,
sacrificing his life for his country—but not his heart. For he’s
never been able to forget his childhood friend, Madeleine. And now,
in her hour of need, he is there to rescue her…
The
victim of a ruthless statesman, Madeleine, Comtesse du Beaune, has
been abducted and sent to England to work in a brothel. Her greatest
wish is to return home for Christmas, and her only hope of it is to
marry Georges—though she will be his wife in name alone. Yet as
they steal across the snowy countryside, Georges decides to woo
her—with kisses that melt the winter’s frost and leave her
longing for a holiday miracle…

AN OATH
TAKEN by Diana Cosby
The Oath
Trilogy # 1
A
man of honor. A woman of spirit.
As the
new castellan, Sir Nicholas Beringar has the daunting task of
rebuilding Ravenmoor Castle on the Scottish border and gaining the
trust of the locals—one of whom wastes no time in trying to rob
him. Instead of punishing the boy, Nicholas decides to make him his
squire. Little does he know the thieving young lad is really…a
lady.
Lady
Elizabet Armstrong had donned a disguise in an attempt to free her
brother from Ravenmoor’s dungeons. Although intimidated by the
confident Englishman with his well-honed muscles and beguiling eyes,
she cannot refuse his offer.
Nicholas
senses that his new squire is not what he seems. His gentle attempts
to break through the boy’s defenses leave Elizabet powerless to
stem the desire that engulfs her. And when the truth is exposed,
she’ll have to trust in Nicholas’s honor to help her people—and
to surrender to his touch…

Diana
Cosby, a retired Navy
Chief Petty Officer, owes her passion for writing to a gypsy
childhood of living, traveling and experiencing various cultures
throughout the world. An avid romance reader her entire life, it was
an easy decision to begin writing after her career as a
meteorologist. Diana is married to Bob, the hero of her life, a naval
officer with over 22 years of service, including a tour in Iraq. She
is blessed with three loving children: Eric, Stephanie and
Christopher, and enjoys the company of her dog, Duncan Trevor
MacGregor, and two cats, Bad and Brat. She’s a member of various
romance writing organizations and presents writing workshops for her
local writing chapters.
CHRISTMAS
AT THORNCLIFF TOWERS by Marina Myles
The Cursed
Princes # 3.5
THE
WEREWOLF’S SERVANT
Thorncliff
Towers is done up for Christmas, secure against wind and wolves. But
Karina Petri is shut out, too, and the gypsy witch wants what’s
inside. She envies the gifts, the feast, the pretty clothes, of
course. But her true desire is for the love of Constantin Stoica. Her
smolderingly handsome childhood friend agreed to serve Lord Draven
after his brother was caught stealing last year. He suspects Karina
was involved—and it would take more magic than she possesses to
make him forgive…
Constantin
has always been drawn to Karina’s dark curls, flashing eyes, and
reckless ways. But trusting her has proven dangerous before, and this
night holds more to fear than most. The wrong decisions could cost
him his job, his safety—even his life. But letting Karina go could
cost him his heart…

close by, she relishes the hours she gets to escape into worlds
filled with fiery—but not easily attained—love affairs. She’s
busy being a wife, a mother, and a member of Romance Writers of
America, but she is never too busy to hear from her amazing readers.

CHRISTMAS
DELIGHTS by Heather Hiestand
The
Redcakes # 5
The
sweetest gift is the hardest to unwrap…
Lady
Victoria Allen-Hill never dreamed she’d be a widow at
twenty-one—let alone a virgin. Her father insists that she attend a
matchmaking house party in the snow-covered seaside town of Pevensey
in hopes she’ll find a suitable husband. But for Victoria, it’s
an opportunity to indulge in a passionate affair—and the handsome
inventor she meets at the Christmas Eve masquerade ball may be just
the man for the job…
Lewis
Noble is the cousin of London’s famed Redcake sisters, so it almost
stands to reason that he’s just as irresistible as one of their
sugar-iced pastries. Lewis catches the eye of every woman at the
party—but Victoria is the only one who catches his. He won’t be
tied down in her father’s business, but watching other men court
her amid a flurry of engagements ignites a jealousy he’s never felt
before. A dose of honesty may be just the thing to mend their broken
hearts—for many holidays to come…
