It’s Getting Scot in Here by Suzanne Enoch (Excerpt)
Chapter One “I can smell the shite from here.” Niall MacTaggert pulled up his bay gelding, Kelpie, at the top of the low rise. “Bloody Saint Andrew,” he muttered, swinging down to the ground. The sight before him—a vast sprawl of hazy, smoke-shrouded streets, the peaks of bell towers here and there the only bits […]
This Earl of Mine by Kate Bateman (Excerpt)
Chapter 1. London, March 1816. There were worse places to find a husband than Newgate Prison. Of course there were. It was just that, at present, Georgie couldn’t think of any. “Georgiana Caversteed, this is a terrible idea.” Georgie frowned at her burly companion, Pieter Smit, as the nondescript carriage he’d summoned to convey them […]
The Orchid Throne by Jeffe Kennedy (Excerpt)
1 “Arise, Your Highness. The realm awaits the sun of Your presence.” The ritual words cut through the thick smoke of the nightmare, bringing me awake with a start. A bad omen that I hadn’t come out of the dreams on my own—and a sign that gave the images the power to linger in my […]
Scot Under the Covers by Suzanne Enoch (Excerpt)
Chapter One “I said he was in the doorway,” Aden MacTaggert stated, eyeing his older brother on the great black Friesian warhorse Coll rode. “He walked in, opened his gobber, and started yapping like he always does, and I threw my boot at him.” “And cracked him in the head,” Coll MacTaggert, Lord Glendarril, finished, […]
A Sweet Mess by Jayci Lee (Excerpt)
1 “What do you mean you gave away the Frankencake?” Aubrey kept her voice low and calm while she roared and stomped like a T. rex in her head. Her high school part-timer had already locked herself in the bathroom/locker room. There was no point freaking her out any further. “I served it to someone,” […]
To Catch an Earl by Kate Bateman (Excerpt)
Chapter 1. London, 1816. “That blasted Nightjar has done it again!” Alexander Harland, Earl of Melton, glanced up from his morning paper. Sir Nathaniel Conant, Chief Magistrate of Bow Street, dropped a sheaf of papers onto the table beside him and lowered himself into a vacant armchair with an irritated exhalation. “That devil—whoever he […]
The Fiery Crown by Jeffe Kennedy (Excerpt)
1 “Good morning, Conrí! I must congratulate myself—how did I know I’d find you here?” I glanced at the wizard, not revealing that he’d surprised me and not bothering to return the empty pleasantries. I hadn’t asked him to find me. In fact, I’d come to the portrait gallery to be alone—not easy in the […]
The Date From Hell by Gwenda Bond (Excerpt)
CHAPTER ONE CALLIE THE GRAY KEEP, THE KINGDOM OF HELL I stand on my tiptoes to slide a book with a thick black spine adorned with golden skulls—Being the Rules of the Kingdom of Hell, Vol. 99—back into its place on the shelf. The candle in the nearest sconce gusts flame. “That is where it […]
Reputation by Lex Croucher (Excerpt)
Chapter One It all began at a party, as almost everything of interest does. This particular party was by no means a grand affair. Dinner had been distinctly lacking. The man tasked with playing the viola seemed to be hurting it a little. A scarcity of candles—entirely due to poor planning on the host’s […]
Summer Nights with a Cowboy
1 Janie Atwood had never met the sheriff of pretty little Cold River personally, but she was already well aware that he hated her. From afar, sure, but his feelings had been clear ever since she’d moved into her new home as aide and nurse to eighty-seven-year-old Damaris Gardiner a few weeks back. Damaris was […]
