The Rose and her Thorn by Nicole Lam
After I take his Mustang for a joyride, my dad ships me off to England to stay with his old friend, the count of Thornfield. I try my hardest to avoid an awkward month-long stay. Even if it means pretending to be a gardening assistant in the quiet gardens of Thornfield Hall. But the handsome gardener I’m working for is keeping something from me… Like the fact that he’s the count’s son.
Lassos and Locks by Akaysha Mynes
In the small town of Enchanted, Texas, Raelynn Tress struggles under her controlling mother’s watchful eye at Mama Pearl’s diner. When a chance encounter with Kendrick King, a compassionate rancher’s son, shatters her sheltered existence, Raelynn discovers a world beyond her confines. Torn between family loyalty and newfound freedom, she must confront her past, her identity, and the challenges of a forbidden romance as she fights for her future.
The Amber Locket by Amy Walsh
Mari Wilson expected to return a lost locket—not wander into the private family wing of a whimsical lodge, topple a little boy’s plastic brick creation, and accidentally fall asleep in his empty bed, earning the fury of a very protective father. Once she discovers the locket’s owner, Mari and the gradually-thawing Orson Barrett must follow a trail of secrets and second chances to uncover a heritage that refuses to stay buried.
Lady Luck’s a Loser
The Apple Orchard Series, Book 1
Caryl McAdoo
Wealthy recluse W. G. Preston is looking to choose a wife and devises a Survivor-style game where the winner gets possibly the love of her life. The rules are never simple, and one lady is sent home each month until only Mrs. Right remains. Will Lady Luck choose practical Audrey, who lied on her application? Or Charlotte, the Southern belle who knows all about antiques and how to please a man? Or graceful Virginia, who has a secret, quiet little Natalie, or redheaded Holly with her Dolly Parton chest? Or Marge, the oldest who does her best to keep the peace between an ex-Miss America finalist and Vicki, the beautiful, daring vixen?
