A Deal with the Duke of Ice (Icy Lords Book 1) (affiliate link)
Lady Rosaline Wyre’s family has been in debt for years. Paid to go on a blind date, in the stead of her friend, she is shocked to see the Duke of Ice waiting for her. The man who terrifies the whole ton…
The Duke of Kenswick has no patience and no need for any woman in London. Yet, the lady he meets on the blind date set up by his grandmother is an intriguing vixen. And he wants her. And what Benedict wants, he gets.
Courting, even falsely, the daughter of the most disgraced family of the ton is a risky matter. But Benedict would do anything to taste her lips again…and make her his wife.
When your life is built on a mountain of lies, the truth can be fatal.
Pinned by a rock slide while conducting an environmental impact study in British Columbia’s Coast Mountains, Mia Blackmore figures karma has finally caught up to her. Actually, she’s surprised she got away with her crime this long.
When a rough-looking man with a French-Canadian accent nearly steps on her head, rescue seems just a fingertip away—then the slope shifts again, sending them both hurtling down the mountain.
The slide may have freed the auburn-haired woman, but undercover cop Hudson McClure still needs to keep her safe from the thugs who think he’s one of their own. The gang isn’t going to give up looking for their downed helicopter full of drugs. And, as it turns out, Mia and her decidedly wolfish dog, Neville, are his best shot getting to the crash first.

She’s being hunted.
Adrienne never knew vampires were more than myth until she woke up as one. Problem is, she’s alone, with no explanation for her newfound senses and abilities. Thankfully Nicholas finds her before it’s too late. He offers to take her under his wing and teach her all she needs to know–an offer she can’t refuse. Now all she needs to do is keep her fantasies about her new maker to herself.
But, a budding romance with Nicholas is the least of her problems. The vampire who changed her is back and he’s not afraid to hurt those closest to her in order to get what he wants.
Can they find this mysterious vampire before he finds Adrienne? Can Nicholas keep her safe until the threat is eliminated? Or will outside forces tear them apart?
The Last Camel Died at Noon (Amelia Peabody Book 6) (affiliate link)
The last camel is dead, and Egyptologist Amelia Peabody, her dashing husband, Emerson, and precocious son, Ramses, are in dire straits on the sun-scorched desert sands. Months before, back in cool, green England, Viscount Blacktower had approached them to find his son and his son’s new bride, who have been missing in war-torn Sudan for over a decade. An enigmatic message scrawled on papyrus and a cryptic map had been delivered to Blacktower, awakening his hope that the couple was still alive.
Neither Amelia nor Emerson believes the message is authentic, but the treasure map proves an irresistible temptation. Now, deep in Nubia’s vast wasteland, they discover too late how much treachery is afoot (and on camelback)…and survival depends on Amelia’s solving a mystery as old as ancient Egypt and as timeless as greed and revenge.

This time, I won’t be the one consumed by the flames.
Torren King is rock-and-roll’s broodiest bachelor.
Mysterious, moody, and coveted by nearly everyone.
But to me, he’s just the sad boy who set fire to my heart,
then reduced me to ashes in the desert.

and he conquered my heart one whispered lyric at a time.
But on the fifth night, he shattered me in the way only a flawless rock god can:
irreparably, and with devastating finesse.
Four years later, the last place I expect to be is sitting before him,
reading through a contract with a pen poised in my fingertips.
A favor for a favor, he says.
A US tour and a fake relationship in exchange for the answer to all my problems.
