Book Description

Four of today's most cherished romance novelists prove that when it comes to love, there's no time like the present—no matter what century you're in. In New York Times bestselling author Janet Chapman's "Man from the Moon," a young woman encounters a band of 23rd-century warriors on a mission to save mankind. But when one of them is wounded, she is his only hope for life—and for love… In "Tomorrow is Another Day," New York Times bestselling author Sandra Hill plunges a woman back in time to post-Civil War Louisiana, where the poor southern belle must make a living as a matchmaker. Now, if she could only get her handsome neighbor to join in… A 17th-century Scotsman avenges the death of his greatest love and becomes a notorious pirate for twenty years. When the past and present become entangled, he wonders if it could be his haunted heart adrift in "The Drowning Sea" by national bestselling author Veronica Wolff… USA Today bestselling author Trish Jensen spins a fetching fable about a woman from the Wild West who lands in modern day Nevada. The gruff local sheriff can hardly believe her story, or that he’d never fall so hard for an older woman—older by "Sixteen Decades"… From the Paperback edition.

Book Description

“A swashbuckling adventure.” —Booklist “A rollicking Indiana Jones flick with a female lead.” —BCCB The Last Magician meets A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue in this thrilling, “breathless” (Kirkus Reviews) tale filled with magic and set in the mysterious Carpathian Mountains where a girl must hunt down Vlad the Impaler’s cursed ring in order to save her father. Some legends never die… Traveling with her treasure-hunting father has always been a dream for Theodora. She’s read every book in his library, has an impressive knowledge of the world’s most sought-after relics, and has all the ambition in the world. What she doesn’t have is her father’s permission. That honor goes to her father’s nineteen-year-old protégé—and once-upon-a-time love of Theodora’s life—Huck Gallagher, while Theodora is left to sit alone in her hotel in Istanbul. Until Huck returns from an expedition without her father and enlists Theodora’s help in rescuing him. Armed with her father’s travel journal, the reluctant duo learns that her father had been digging up information on a legendary and magical ring that once belonged to Vlad the Impaler—more widely known as Dracula—and that it just might be the key to finding him. Journeying into Romania, Theodora and Huck embark on a captivating adventure through Gothic villages and dark castles in the misty Carpathian Mountains to recover the notorious ring. But they aren’t the only ones who are searching for it. A secretive and dangerous occult society with a powerful link to Vlad the Impaler himself is hunting for it, too. And they will go to any lengths—including murder—to possess it.

But working for his unsuspecting new guardian, Busick Strathmore, Duke of Repington, has perils of its own.

An Apple Must Listen Audiobook for September! A lady must have money and an army of her own if she is to win a revolution—but first, she must pit her wits against the wiles of an irresistible rogue bent on wrecking her plans…and her heart. Lady Lucie is fuming. She and her band of Oxford suffragists have finally scraped together enough capital to control one of London’s major publishing houses, with one purpose: to use it in a coup against Parliament. But who could have predicted that the one person standing between her and success is her old nemesis and London’s undisputed lord of sin, Lord Ballentine? Or that he would be willing to hand over the reins for an outrageous price—a night in her bed. Lucie tempts Tristan like no other woman, burning him up with her fierceness and determination every time they clash. But as their battle of wills and words fans the flames of long-smoldering devotion, the silver-tongued seducer runs the risk of becoming caught in his own snare. As Lucie tries to out-maneuver Tristan in the boardroom and the bedchamber, she soon discovers there’s truth in what the poets say: all is fair in love and war… "Rich with subplot, historical detail and beautifully descriptive writing that keeps the pages turning until the delightfully unconventional happy ending."—NPR
