Description

The Duke’s Meddlesome Matchmaker - Emily E K Murdoch

All’s fair in love... and matchmaking!

Proposal planner Aphrodite ‘Ditty’ Oliver believes romance should be planned and executed to perfection. That’s what keeps her in business. In attempting another successful engagement, she instantly comes to blows with her client’s brother, dashing duke, Henry Paisley! Henry believes meddling in matters of the heart is counter to a true connection. Whilst Ditty has learnt that true love only exists in fairytales, she’ll show him that it must be engineered in real life!

Yet while they’re battling it out, they’re too busy to fight an all-consuming attraction neither saw coming!

Forbidden To The Banished Laird - Marguerite Kaye

Alone with the laird... and their forbidden passion!

For landscape gardener, Jessica, accepting a post on a remote Scottish island means escape — from her broken dreams and tattered reputation. But meeting the brooding laird who hired her, disturbingly attractive Murdo, Jessica wonders if she’s made a dangerous miscalculation...

Murdo has only had the furious ghosts of his past for company, until Jessica’s sweetness and inner steel offers a way out of the darkness. As her employer, and with his heart destroyed, she is utterly forbidden. But with nowhere to hide from their simmering connection, will Murdo play by Society’s rules, or burn everything down?
