Book excerpt: Princess Soren of Nyx is no stranger to loss after a decade-long war with the neighboring kingdom of Atlas. But with her best friend slowly succumbing to a cruel Atlas poison, she hatches a reckless plan: kidnap the enemy prince from the battlefield and use his life to barter for the antidote. But when that prince calls her by a different name...the name of his sister, whose death began the war ten years ago...everything changes. Stolen away to Atlas, trapped behind enemy lines, Soren must navigate a kingdom she knows nothing about, surrounded by a family she doesn't remember, and work to hunt down the antidote only Atlas possesses, all while strange memories fight to take over-memories of a different life, a different home, a different girl. And memories aren't the only thing awakened by Soren's return. Dark, forbidden magics begin to stir, threatening both her new life and her old. With death stalking in every shadow, the lost princess must fight harder and sacrifice more than she ever dreamed to save what she holds most dear.

Book excerpt: Her first adventure began with a letter from a stranger--a second will give her an entirely new mission. Stranded far from home by injuries and the onset of winter, Charlie of Windsong finds refuge in the home of a sympathetic noblewoman to rest and wait for spring. Left homesick and disheartened by the outcome of her surreal night on the Mountain of Souls, Charlie is considering giving up her quest to return home when she receives another letter from her mysterious acquaintance, Grandmother. The letter alleges that Charlie's father, believed dead for several years, is not only still alive, but living close by in Shala. Despite considerable doubts, Charlie can't quite resist investigating, and she decides to set aside her search for the sapphire dagger to try to find her father instead. What starts as a search for one man quickly involves her in something much larger and more complex than she could have imagined. Trading solitary travel to join a band of political rebels, Charlie now finds herself at the center of a movement that will not only take her across Shala and beyond, but will also potentially change the course of history in the Eastern Lands forever. Charlie has come to enjoy the independence and self-reliance she has learned since leaving her sheltered life at Windsong to travel alone, but committing to a cause larger than herself requires putting aside her own desires for the success of the mission. As she struggles to contribute to a group that views her as an outsider, she must fight to hold onto her autonomy and determine where her loyalties lie.

Book excerpt: A wild race to the wild blue under… Rod Tritone, heir to the undersea Mer kingdom, has the looks and charm to have any mermaid he wants as his queen. He’s always given up his own preferences in order to train for his future role. But apparently that isn’t enough for the ruling Council. Prophecy decrees he marry a Mer Princess. The only problem is that the prophesied lost princess lives in the geographical—and utterly landlocked—center of the United States. Valerie Dumere has tried her hand at pretty much everything. She wasn’t cut out to be a construction worker, any more than the zillion other jobs she’s tried. Who is she supposed to be and what is she supposed to do with her life? Even running the oceans treasures gift shop she inherited is ironic, given that, thanks to a horrific childhood incident, Valerie is convinced she’s deathly allergic to seawater. Then Rod Tritone shows up, insisting she has another side to herself that only he can show her. He’s sexy, but is he also insane? If Rod fails in his quest, the kingdom he’s worked so hard for will go to another. Accompanied by a seagull named Livingston, and chased by dive-bombing birds, Rod convinces Valerie to set off with him on a madcap, cross-country race to the sea. Can they make it in time to fulfill the prophecy? And how can Rod convince his ocean-phobic mermaid princess there’s nothing to be afraid of—and love to be found— in the wild blue under?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries, the deliciously sexy fourth book in the Duke’s Men Regency romance series—the first of which was called “a totally engaging, adventurous love story” (RT Book Reviews, Top Pick). The heir presumptive to the Viscount Rathmoor, Dominick Manton once had his heart’s desire within reach—a bright future as a barrister and engagement to Jane Vernon, a wealthy baron’s daughter. Then a shattering betrayal by his vindictive brother George snatched away Dom’s inheritance and his hopes of offering Jane a secure future. Brokenhearted, and attempting to end their engagement without destroying Jane’s reputation, Dom staged a betrayal of his own to convince her that he’s not the husband-to-be that she thought. Now George is gone and the viscountcy restored to Dom, since his brother’s widow, Nancy—Jane’s cousin and closest confidant—never bore an heir. But when Nancy goes missing, a panicked Jane calls on her former fiancé to track down her cousin. Dom knows the mistakes of the past may be unforgiveable—but now, entangled together in mystery and danger, will they rekindle a passionate longing that was never lost to begin with?
