Maid For The Duke - Laura Martin

A fateful summer... a forbidden attraction!

With maid Amelie’s father languishing in debtors’ prison, her employer’s offer to be housekeeper of his summer cottage is the perfect opportunity to support her family. But now in close quarters with the dashing duke, she soon finds herself getting to know William on more intimate terms...

After promising his dying sister to set aside his responsibilities and chase happiness, William has taken the summer to write. But he soon finds even greater joy — with Amelie! Yet, as the season wears on and a suitable marriage beckons, will he be able to surrender his forbidden true love?

The Dollar Princess Dilemma - Amanda McCabe

His future duchess... found in his past?

Inheriting his father’s crumbling estate burdens Benedict, Duke of Trent, with an inescapable duty: wed a wealthy American lady. It can only be a convenient match, for he’s seen the damage ducal power had on his parents’ marriage. Yet returning to Newport, only one woman is on his mind — Jane O’Neill, the beauty with whom he shared a kiss many years ago!

Seeing Benedict again only reignites their intoxicating connection. But Jane wishes for independence, not marriage. So rather than be his bride, she will help him find one! As long as they can resist the lingering flame that once drew them together...

About the Author

Amanda McCabe wrote her first romance at sixteen – a vast historical epic starring all her friends as the characters, written secretly during algebra class! She's never since used algebra, but her books have been nominated for many awards, including the RITA Award, Booksellers Best, National Readers Choice Award and the Holt Medallion. In her spare time she loves taking dance classes and collecting travel souvenirs. Amanda lives in Oklahoma. Email her at: amanda@ammandamccabe.com Born and bred on the South Coast of England into a family of two loving parents and a spirited older sister, books were a feature of Laura's life from early on. One of her earliest memories involves sitting with the family on a rainy Sunday afternoon listening to the exploits of a clumsy but lovable stuffed bear and his assorted cuddly friends. Laura's first ambition was to be a doctor, and in 2006 she went off to Guy's, King's and St Thomas' Medical school in London to study medicine. It was whilst she was earning her degree she discovered her love of writing. In between ward rounds and lectures Laura would scribble down ideas to work on later that evening and dream of being an author. In 2012 Laura married her high school sweetheart and together they settled down in Cambridgeshire. It was around this time Laura started focussing on the Romance genre, and found what she had always suspected to be true: she was a romantic at heart. Laura now spends her time writing Historical Romances when not working as a doctor.In her spare time Laura loves to lose herself in a book and has been known to read from cover to cover in a day when the story is particularly gripping. She also loves to travel with her husband, especially enjoying visiting historical sites and far flung shores
