"A wonderful tale!" --Hannah Howell, New York Times bestselling author A bride comes to Bonniebroch. . . But Cait Grant is hardly dreaming of wedded bliss. For political reasons, she must marry Adam Cameron, laird of Bonniebroch. And then, as a duty to her clan, she must murder him. . . If only her new husband weren't so devilishly handsome.

Fenella Oliphant has always thought it apropos she was named after an herb: Useful, subtle, and not much to look at. But in the Oliphant Castle kitchens none of that matters, because she is the one in command...that is, as long as she can keep from being distracted by the dangerously delicious beast who's planted his shapely arse beside her hearth and insists on offering unwanted advice. Brodie McClure doesn't know who he is anymore. He used to be one of His Majesty's elite Hunters, bodyguard to his laird and damned handsome to boot. But now, he's scarred and maimed, relegated to peeling carrots in the kitchens, while watching the most tempting little morsel alternate between blushing prettily and snapping commands. It's not his fault the woman has no idea how to properly season mutton and refuses to listen to his suggestions. So, clearly, it's up to him to instruct her. Sparks-and eggs!-fly, until a friend offers a solution: A simple contest, using an assigned ingredient, and judged by a panel of three iron-clad stomachs. Fenella and Brodie jump at the opportunity to prove themselves the better chef, but somewhere among the butter, honey and cinnamon, they realize they're going to have to make a pact to cooperate if they want to get out of this with their hearts-and lower intestines-unscathed! Warning: Contains food puns. You can't expect Caroline to write a romcom about two iron-willed chefs and not make phallic jokes. There will also be at least one food fight, because we can't take any of this seriously. Get ready for another hilarious (and supremely naughty) medieval romp from a USA Today Bestseller!

Wood from a tree on the mortal plane, the leaf from the Fae world, and the seed from gods-only-knew-where; it had become a thing of all of them. *** Ten months ago, the Gypsies battled the Fae for Ryna's soul. As the cycle of the rennies' year returns to Pendragon, they find their beloved playground more steeped in Magick than ever. Ten months ago, they won. Now clocks refuse to function, phantom music rides the wind, and as strange creatures stalk the grounds, Ryna feels the call of Pendragon's shadow-self more keenly with every pasing day. But the Fae are old, and patient, and they do not give up easily. As Phoenix is about to find out, just because you've sworn you're done with the them doesn't mean they're done with you....

Love at First Sight only happens in folk songs... Leanna Oliphant's goal is to lead an adventurous life, and it seems as if she's going to get her wish, even without having to help things along (for a change). Mayhap she shouldn't have removed all her clothing to bathe in that not-quite-secluded glen, but now she's caught the eye of a delightfully mysterious warrior on a secret mission, and knows she's in for an adventure of a lifetime! As one of His Majesty's elite Hunters, Laird Kenneth McClure is on the trail of a missing royal messenger. The brawny warrior doesn't know whom he can trust at Oliphant Castle, particularly when one of the laird's daughters offers her help. But bubbly Lady Leanna is a ray of sunshine in his jaded life, and he can't deny the way her soul tugs at his. When the pair of them discover a dead body in the castle's secret passages, Kenneth is fairly certain it's not his missing quarry. Almost. Probably not. But he's beginning to realize things are not all they seem on Oliphant land...what with the mad laird, hypochondriac lady, more ghosts than he can count, mysterious wailing bagpiper, and who let this random donkey wander through the great hall? Does the delightful Leanna know more than she's saying? Kenneth's mission for the king may be the downfall of this crazy family, and he's beginning to suspect it's not worth that sin. Warning: Contains silliness. And, like, a lot of anachronistic jokes. If you enjoyed the laughter (and naughty bits) in the Hots for Scots series, you'll love this first book in a brand-new series of medieval romcoms!

Ken Jennings’s Trivia Almanac is the ingeniously organized book where, for a change, the all-time Jeopardy! champ gets to ask the questions–and where every day of the year will give you the chance to test your trivia mettle. For example–February 21: In 1912, on this day, Teddy Roosevelt coined the political phrase “hat in the ring,” so Ken Jennings fires off a series of “ring” questions. What two NFL quarterbacks have four Super Bowl rings each?* What rings are divided by the Cassini Division?** Also on this date, in 1981, the “goth” music scene was born in London, so here’s a quiz on black-clad icons like Darth Vader, Johnny Cash, and Zorro. Do you know the secret identities of Ivanhoe’s Black Knight*** or Men in Black’s Agent M****? In this ultimate book for trivia buffs and other assorted know-it-alls, the 365 entries feature “This Day in History” factoids, trivia quizzes, and questions categorized by Jennings as “Easy,” “Hard,” and “Yeah, Good Luck.” Topics cover every subject under the sun, from paleontology to mixology, sports feats to Bach suites, medieval popes to daytime soaps. This addictive gathering of facts, oddities, devilishly clever quizzes, and other flights of fancy will make each day a fun and intriguing new challenge.
