    Falling For You by Leeanna Morgan

    October 9, 2020

    Both leave the cities to return to the sweet, small town of Sapphire Bay. Little do they know that striking up a friendship could lead to more… 

    After six years of focusing on her career, Natalie Armstrong craves the peace and tranquility that only Sapphire Bay can give her. But returning to her grandparents’ cottage isn’t as easy as she imagined. No one told her about her houseguest or the unexpected changes in the small town she calls home.

    Gabe Lanigan is a former NYPD detective. His new career as a bestselling crime writer has brought him everything he didn’t want—fame, fortune, and a deep distrust of strangers. When Natalie arrives in Sapphire Bay, their unlikely friendship sparks into something he never expected. But he needs to be careful. The real reason he left New York City is closing in fast and Natalie is standing in his way.

    The author’s favorite quality in a protagonist:

    “Unconditional love. The ability to love someone as they are, to support and care for them, regardless of what they have done, is a wonderful gift.”

    October 2, 2020

    She once spoke of tales of a terrifying monster–the scarred Duke of Coldwell. Now she’s been sold off to marry to him…

    As young girls, Lady Isabella Tate, daughter of the Earl of Upperton, and her friend, Esme, told each other terrifying tales of the monster. But not just any monster. This monster was alive and living in his old mansion behind a tangle of overgrown hawthorn trees in the very same county. This monster was none other than Elliot Covington, the Duke of Coldwell.

    The Duke of Coldwell, scarred for life in a fire which claimed the lives of those dearest to him has been hiding in his mansion for almost eighteen years. He knows he is a figure of fear and speculation in the county and chose many years before to live a life of self-imposed isolation. But he is the loneliest Duke in all of England. When the Earl of Upperton sells his daughter off as a bride for the disfigured Duke, Isabella has never been more terrified. Due to marry a man she has never met and always believed to be a monster, she truly believes her life is over.

    But is life with the Duke really something to be afraid of? Will Isabella be able to get past her own prejudice and see the man beneath the scars? And will the Duke be able to let go of the pain and guilt that has swallowed him whole for almost two decades and find a new life with a new love?

    Deception in Emeralds by Laura Landon

    September 18, 2020

    She will accept his proposal of marriage. And take her revenge.

    Barnaby Linscott, under orders from the Crown, must apprehend or kill one of England’s most elusive villains. The means to accomplish his mission are anything but clear, but his mind is resolved. The man has already murdered three government agents, and Barnaby vows he will not be the fourth, though he has little to lose. That is, until he meets the partner assigned to carry out his deadly mission.

    Lady Millicent Chandler has lost everything. Her beautiful Cliffside Manor has been burned, her parents, her brother Thomas, and her sister Polly all murdered. When her trusted servants bring her their suspicions that her handsome neighbor is directly involved, she knows exactly what she’ll do. She will accept his proposal of marriage. And take her revenge.

    The author on overcoming writer’s block:

    “I know that many would disagree with this, but I don’t think there’s such a thing as writer’s block. I think when we sit down to write and we struggle, we’ve taken a wrong turn in our story, or we’ve forgotten an element that our inner voice is telling us must be added.
    When I have trouble, I rely on my writer friends to help me out. When I can’t see the forest for the trees, I have to rely on them to see my forest and point it out to me.”

    Celtic Moon book cover

    Like father, like son…

    Sophie Thibodeau has been on the run from the father of her son for more than fifteen years. Now her son, Joshua, is changing, and her greatest fears are about to be realized. He’s going to end up being just like his father—a man who can change into a wolf.

    Dylan Black has been hunting for Sophie since the night she ran from him—an obsession he cannot afford in the midst of an impending war. Dylan controls Rhuddin Village, an isolated town in Maine where he lives with an ancient Celtic tribe. One of the few of his clan who can still shift into a wolf, he must protect his people from the Guardians, vicious warriors who seek to destroy them.

    When Sophie and Dylan come together for the sake of their son, their reunion reignites the fierce passion they once shared. For the first time in years, Dylan’s lost family is within his grasp. But will he lose them all over again? Are Joshua and Sophie strong enough to fight alongside Dylan in battle? Nothing less than the fate of his tribe depends on it…

    The author on the main character Sophie:

    “Her strength comes from her instinct to protect her child at all costs. She’s tough when she needs be, soft when she’s loved, and always practical. She’s real.”
