    Diamond of the Season by Tamara Gill

    June 5, 2026

    She should be choosing a husband…not aching for the duke who can never be hers.

    Lady Rosalind’s focus for the Season is clear—marry well and secure her sisters’ future. Yet every glance from the dangerously irresistible Duke of Ravensmere turns her resolve to ash. Nathaniel tries to keep his distance, but a single stolen kiss spins into temptation neither can control. As secrets unravel and jealousy sparks danger, Rosalind must decide how much she’s willing to risk for forbidden passion—and for the duke who holds her heart.
    The author on how she started writing:

    “I started writing when my second son was only about a year old and I was still home on maternity leave, not looking to go back to work since I had two small children. During that time, I started to read historical romance and just fell in love with the genre. I wasn’t a romance reader prior to this, but as soon as I opened my first Stephanie Laurens book I was a goner.”

    Marry Me, Cowboy by Willow White

    May 22, 2026

    “Uh … a pregnant woman in a wedding dress just drove her truck into the side of our barn.”

    Minutes before walking down the aisle, Olivia realizes that she can’t marry a man she doesn’t love. With nowhere to go, she drives and drives until she crashes into a barn, waking Wyatt Honeywood from a sound sleep. With the rain plastering Olivia’s gown to her body, Wyatt can tell right away that she’s pregnant—but she isn’t. Olivia is determined to have a fresh start at life, and West Hope seems as good a place as any, especially with the handsome Wyatt around, but Wyatt is doing his best to ignore his simmering feelings for Olivia as he tries to reunite her with the nonexistent baby’s father. If Wyatt doesn’t confess his feelings soon, Olivia is going to ride off into the sunset. And the weirder Wyatt acts, the more Olivia is tempted to do just that—no matter how handsome and charming he is.
    A 5 star review for the novel:

    “I love this story! It is cute and funny with the right amount of feels! I Love who the author made the MC’s out to be and I love how she worked the brothers and sister-in-law into the story with out confusing me with all the added names and with out taking away from Wyatt and Olivia’s story! Looking forward to reading about the brothers”

    Mixed Blessings by Cathy Marie Hake

    May 8, 2026

    A woman marries for convenience to create a family for her children and falls for her new husband in this inspirational romance.

    A routine medical exam told widowed Marie Cadant that her little boy had been switched with another at birth. But when she tracked down wealthy Peter Hallock—the man who had her biological son—she was surprised to find another single parent, and one eager to love not just his own child, but hers, as well. Even as they struggled to keep their children close despite their far-flung homes, Peter was intrigued by Marie’s inner strength and deep faith. He prevailed on her to accept a marriage of convenience for the children’s sake, then faced the challenge of convincing her that despite the circumstances, theirs was a marriage truly made in heaven.
    A 5 star review for the novel:

    “I cried myself through the first chapter. What a wonderfully written story. Who comes up with ideas for a story like this. Loved Peter and Marie and their two little boys. But the best thing was their faithfulness in seeking the Lord in all their decisions and life choices”

    The Perfect Rake by Anne Gracie

    April 24, 2026

    A phony engagement turns into real passion in this delightful Regency romance from award-winning author Anne Gracie.

    Fate has lavished beauty on the Merridew sisters—that is, all save the eldest. But plain Prudence bears no grudge; she loves her four beautiful sisters infinitely. So when their abusive grandfather is laid up with an injury, she seizes the opportunity to concoct an ingenious plan that will allow all five of them to escape the clutches of their legal guardian. All it will take is a little matrimonial deception… A renowned rake, Gideon, Lord Carradice, has a way of making ladies swoon. But when Prudence arrives at his doorstep and mistakes him for his cousin, the Duke, it is Gideon who’s infatuated. The delightful spitfire claims she and the Duke are engaged—although a taller tale was never told. In spite of the lies, Gideon is so taken with charming Prudence that he’s eager to join her game, especially if it will award him a stolen kiss or two. Now, Prudence’s plot is about to go terribly, albeit deliciously, awry…
    The author on intended and unintended themes while writing:

    “I have a reader in America who writes to me after every book and tells me my themes and it’s very interesting because I frequently have not intended or noticed them myself. There may be some thematic things that I’ll deliberately emphasise, but I don’t sit down and think, “What’s my theme?” or anything like that. When writing I’m just trying to make the story work and make it fun, but there are clearly things happening in the brain that are pulling it all into line.”

    “I currently write Regency Era fiction. I’ve always been a lover of history, and I’ve written everything from 1810’s England up through World War I home front America. My current interest in Regency fiction came about through reading several novels set during that time, and I’m also wanting to really sink my teeth into new and exciting research.”

    Moose Be Love by Jacqueline Winters

    April 2, 2026

    A fun cast of characters, a quirky small town Alaskan setting, the town’s favorite moose, and a swoony-romance with all the feels.

    When I travel to the small town of Sunset Ridge for the reading of my great aunt’s will, I have no idea that my sisters and I are about to inherit a lodge. Or that my rugged Alaskan neighbor is the caretaker I’ll be spending all my time with. Falling for Ford Harris would be unwise. I’m supposed to get the lodge listed for sale and leave. Not to mention that he hasn’t dated anyone since his wife died four years ago. The little sister he’s super protective over let it slip that he swore off ever falling in love again. But he’s cooking me dinner, showing me around town, and saving me from getting trampled by the town’s favorite moose. Don’t even get me started on the way my brain short circuits when I catch him shirtless and towel-drying his hair. The truth is? I’m falling hard, and I wish I didn’t have to leave.
    A 5-star review of the novel:

    “Very nice first book in a series. The characters are small town folks who make you wish you could be their neighbors. No violence and no malicious schemes — just day-to-day life and just what I needed in this often unpleasant world. Looking forward to reading more of this series.”

    Rise Up to Love by Jill Haymaker

    February 27, 2026

    What if the past catches up with you just when you’re starting a new life?

    Lorelei Grant, recently widowed, can’t believe that her best friend Charlotte wants to leave their hometown in Kansas and move to Aspen Ridge, a tiny, mountain town in Colorado and buy a gift shop. Is she crazy? Despite her hesitation, Charlotte wears her down, and they make the move. Remington Hunt has always been a loner, content to live out his life in the mountains with his dog, Grizwold. That is until two ladies buy the gift shop next to his own gun shop. There’s just something about the redhead that has him reconsidering his hermit lifestyle. Just when these two unlikely people start to put aside their differences and develop romantic feelings for each other, a past that Lorelei isn’t proud of catches up with her. People she’d put behind her from over thirty years ago, suddenly become real and threaten everything she’s started to build. Can Lori overcome past mistakes and find a way to not only love, but also forgiveness? Sometimes the person who is the hardest to forgive is yourself.
    The author on writing seasoned romances:

    “As a reader I have been discouraged by the lack of good romance novels about people older than 20 or 30. I wanted to show that even people on their 60’s can be romantic and have a great love story to tell. “

    The Wolf and the Witch by Claire Delacroix

    January 30, 2026

    The three sons of a notorious mercenary should never have met…but now that they are sworn allies, the Scottish Borders will never be the same…

    Denied his rightful legacy, Maximilian de Vries devised a plan to avenge himself upon his father and see his own future secured. Allied with his two half-brothers, he descends upon ancient and mysterious Kilderrick, determined to seize the keep once promised to him, regardless of the price. A woman rumored to be a witch is the sole one bold enough to defy him but Maximilian has a solution—he will take her to wife, whether she be willing or nay, and seal his claim.
     
    But this powerful warrior has yet to match wits with Alys Armstrong, a maiden with a thirst for vengeance and a fury that might exceed his own. Alys has no intention of capitulating to the proud and powerful rogue who stole everything from her—no matter how seductive his touch might be—and she does not share his compulsion to fight fair.
     
    Bitter enemies from the outset, Maximilian and Alys’ match is a battle of wills. When passion flares, will either of them be able to resist temptation? And when Kilderrick itself is in peril, will they join forces to save the holding they each prize—and the unexpected love they value above all else?
    A positive review of the novel:

    “Author Claire Delacroix’s writing style and story-writing ability in her Medieval Historical Romances has always charmed me. Even though this is Maximillan and Alys’s story, her character building of the supporting characters is not stagnant. Rather, there are changes afoot for them all. I eagerly await the next book in the series.”
