Denied entry to his fortress in the cold, harsh mountains of the far northwestern highlands, Rose uses cunning to force her way in, and William is duly intrigued with this bold slip of a girl. But securing his help may not be enough to save Rose’s father. For there is something darker at work in the glen, something more powerful than William’s and Rose’s magic combined, and only the soul-deep passion that shadows their mutual desire can help their love prevail.

The Irresistible Warrior by Donna Fletcher

Three warriors. Three wishes. One woman who refuses to fall for the magic. Declan of Clan MacCrone made a wish, an arrogant one, he admits. He wanted women to fall at his feet. The wish was granted… quite literally. Now, wherever he goes, women faint. Trip. Collapse. It's a spectacle that's followed him across the Highlands and one his clan could no longer tolerate. Sent to lead a struggling village in need of a chieftain, Declan hopes to escape the worst of the curse. Instead, he meets Aura. A woman who doesn't swoon. Aura is practical, sharp-minded, and far more interested in plants than men. She doesn't have time for cursed warriors or the strange pull she feels toward the infuriatingly handsome chieftain. But when danger strikes, and rumors swirl, a marriage of convenience becomes the safest path forward, for the village and for themselves. What begins as a logical arrangement quickly tangles into something neither expected. And as the mystery deepens—an abduction attempt, a whisper of dark magic, a past neither fully understands—Declan realizes that Aura may be the key to unraveling his curse… if he doesn't lose her first. Because in the Highlands, love is rarely simple, and every wish has its price.

Bridgerton The Duke and I by Julia Quinn

A #1 New York Times Bestseller  From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Daphne Bridgerton, in the first of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix. In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince—while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable…but not too amiable. Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her. She is simply too deuced honest for that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen. Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings. Recently returned to England from abroad, he intends to shun both marriage and society—just as his callous father shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood. Yet an encounter with his best friend’s sister offers another option. If Daphne agrees to a fake courtship, Simon can deter the mamas who parade their daughters before him. Daphne, meanwhile, will see her prospects and her reputation soar. The plan works like a charm—at first. But amid the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London’s elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule... This novel includes the second epilogue, a peek at the story after the story.

One Bed for the Bluestocking

One Bed for the Bluestocking by Courtney McCaskill

It's the worst idea Kate Weatherby has ever had. Back when Kate and her sisters were penniless and despised as the Weatherby Wallflowers, they made a pact to apply for whatever respectable positions they could find. Now, one of the employers who initially rejected Kate, an academic at the University of Edinburgh looking for a scientific illustrator, has written back, eager to hire her. There's just one problem. The holder of the position must be enrolled at the University, which does not admit women. Kate knows that donning breeches and trying to pass herself off as a young man is a terrible idea. But the sting of her father stealing credit for her illustrations has never faded.  Yearning to see if she can succeed in the scientific world on her own merits, Kate accepts the position and heads north to Scotland. One problem? Make that two. It's hard enough passing herself off as "Kit Witherspoon."  But the naturalist who hired Kate, Nathaniel Sterling, isn't the fusty old professor she imagined. Oh, no—Nathaniel is young, kind, brilliantly clever, and heart-stoppingly handsome in precisely the tweedy way Kate finds irresistible. And, to make matters worse, an opportunity has just arisen—a trip to the Outer Hebrides, to document the flora and fauna particular to the islands. Nathaniel and Kate will be going alone. And, academic budgets being what they are, they're expected to share a room. One Bed for the Bluestocking is book 3 in the award-winning Weatherby Wallflowers quartet. Book 1, A Wallflower Never Surrenders , was a finalist for the 2024 HOLT Medallion award, and book 2, Snowbound with the Scoundrel, won the HOLT Medallion!

Rhodes declares, there and then, she will be his wife. Fawn declares him insane. But when trouble brews, talk of witches stir, and long-buried secrets rise, Fawn finds herself bound to the very man she swore she'd never wed. And Rhodes, for all his strength, begins to realize that real power isn't in domination… but in winning the trust and love of a woman who will not be tamed.

A Wallflower Never Surrenders by Courtney McCaskill

Finalist- 2025 HOLT Medallion Award for Historical Romance They call them the Weatherby Wallflowers… After her mother's death, Eleanor Weatherby has had a hard enough time shepherding her three younger sisters through the world and running her father's household on a shoestring budget. But now her father, an eccentric naturalist who has always shown more interest in birds and beetles than his own flesh and blood, has sold their home so he could afford passage on an exploratory voyage around the world! Suddenly the four sisters dubbed the Weatherby Wallflowers don't even have a roof over their heads. Their only chance… Eleanor somehow manages to secure an invitation to the Countess of Milthorpe's house party, which buys them two weeks of shelter. Eleanor is firmly on the shelf, but her youngest sister, Philippa, manages to catch the eye of Felix St. James, younger brother of the Duke of Norwood. If Pippa can bring Felix up to scratch, it will draw them back from the brink of destitution. The man standing in their way… There's only one problem—Jasper St. James, the Duke of Norwood. He immediately marked Pippa as an upstart miss who was only after his brother's fortune. Jasper vows that he won't let Felix out of his sight. But at every turn he is foiled by Eleanor Weatherby, who seems as determined to promote the match as Jasper is to prevent it. As Jasper and Eleanor match wits, he discovers that she is impertinent, imperious… and impossible to resist. It turns out that sparring with a headstrong wallflower is more to this stern duke's taste than the milquetoast maidens he was considering for his bride at the start of the house party. Maybe one of the Weatherby Wallflowers will be marrying into the St. James family after all… if Jasper hasn't already ruined everything. A Wallflower Never Surrenders is a steamy, comedic Regency Romance. It was a finalist for the 2025 HOLT Medallion Award for Best Historical Romance, alongside Book 2 in the Weatherby Wallflowers series, Snowbound with the Scoundrel , which took home the award.

Instead of the awkward girl driving me to annoyance, her scent changed, and with it, so did everything else. Instead of teaching her French, I longed to teach her the profane language of a darker more savage love only I could give. Instead of manners and etiquette, I wished nothing more than to ravage her very soul and devour every inch of her.  But she’s my ward, untouchable, the Queen’s favored, and I already have too many scars on body and my soul to add yet one more. To her, I’m beastly, a monster, and yet still, she persists.  Time to show her how monstrous I can really be.  Seven Omegas for Seven Alphas is a dark omegaverse set in a world where title and rank is determined by dynamic rather than birth and where sweet little omegas are the belle of every ball.
