Overview
New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas delivers a scintillating tale of an unconventional beauty who finds passion with the spy who can't resist her
A woman who defies her time
Dr. Garrett Gibson, the only female physician in England, is as daring and independent as any man--why not take her pleasures like one? Yet she has never been tempted to embark on an affair, until now. Ethan Ransom, a former detective for Scotland Yard, is as gallant as he is secretive, a rumored assassin whose true loyalties are a mystery. For one exhilarating night, they give in to their potent attraction before becoming strangers again.
A man who breaks every rule
As a Ravenel by-blow spurned by his father, Ethan has little interest in polite society, yet he is captivated by the bold and beautiful Garrett. Despite their vow to resist each other after that sublime night, she is soon drawn into his most dangerous assignment yet. When the mission goes wrong, it will take all of Garrett's skill and courage to save him. As they face the menace of a treacherous government plot, Ethan is willing to take any risk for the love of the most extraordinary woman he's ever known.

Romance: Stolen hearts
Julia London sets a delicious Highland romance on the high seas in Devil in Tartan. With her clan in dire financial straits, a desperate Lottie Livingstone embarks on a daring plan—she and her kinsmen will steal a ship and transport casks of whiskey to Denmark. To her surprise, she succeeds and finds herself in control of Captain Aulay Mackenzie, his vessel and his crew. Aulay can’t believe he was foolish enough to be tricked by a woman’s beauty. His voyage was intended to prove that sea trade could be profitable for his clan, and now he’s lost some of his goods and a lot of his self-respect. As he journeys on as Lottie’s captive, however, he finds it hard not to admire her tenacity. She admires Aulay in return, and their close proximity—as well as brushes with danger—leads to an undeniable passion. But when their shared adventure ends, can Aulay forgive Lottie for all she’s taken from him? London’s latest is an action-packed ride.
THE PRINCESS BRIDE
An orphan finds a new life in A Princess in Theory, first in a new series by Alyssa Cole. Orphaned at a young age, hardworking grad student Naledi Smith has always felt alone. But she’s too busy to dwell on that, or to do more than delete the strange emails telling her she’s the long-lost betrothed of Prince Thabiso of Thesolo. Because Naledi refuses to answer any of the emails, Thabiso, who was promised to Naledi when they were small children, poses as her new neighbor. Naledi can’t get her new acquaintance out of her mind, but soon the truth is out, and Thabiso earns her ire for his deception. However, she also learns she has living grandparents in Thesolo who are dangerously ill. In order to visit them and sort out her past, Naledi travels to the African country, where she begins to unravel mysteries and figure out what to do about Thabiso. This is a fun, fanciful romance perfect for readers dreaming of royal weddings.
