The Runaway Baroness

2020

Only The Marriage Maker would send a spoiled young miss to do a woman's job... Arland Keane's heart is so splintered that when Miss Ceili Corlyne tumbles into his life, he doesn't even notice she's collecting the pieces. Ceili, abandoned by her family and betrothed in the same moment, isn't looking for a match—only freedom—but she soon realizes that Arland is the one person from whom she doesn't want to be freed. She only hopes a scandal-ridden miss can craft a place in a widower's heart.

Music on the Waters

2020

Love is worth the risk... Sir Alexander Bradshaw, solid Scots merchant, needs to acquire a wife, a sensible woman who can manage his unruly sons and sullen daughter. As Orkney's long, dark winter approaches with no suitable candidates, an acquaintance suggests a music teacher might occupy his daughter. He embraces at the idea. Ann Dunwood let herself be lured to Orkney by the opportunity to play The Kirkwall Organ. For the beauty of the instrument, she can endure the tedium of choirs and parishioners who wish only for the most banal of hymns; she’s done it before. She knows how to fade into the shadows and keep to her place. When Alec comes upon her filling the cathedral with a Bach fugue he is enchanted by the magical creature at the keyboard. The object of his fascination sinks into a demure young woman when the music ends. Alec determines to get the magical creature back, and quickly discovers she can fill his life with the music it sorely needs. How long before their solos become a duet?

His Imaginary Courtship

2020

Is a Lady in hand worth more than one in a tree? Business forces Mister Adam Blakley back to London at the worst imaginable time: the tail end of the Season. Not only is the city full of marriage-minded misses and their determined mamas, but the desperation of the unattached has swelled to a fever pitch. Having suffered the shackles of marriage once already in his thirty-three years, Adam has no intention of letting another woman clamp him in iron-clad vows. Iris Greenwood had her chance at a Season...and failed as abysmally as her parents predicted. Now, Iris' solemn, paramount duty is to ensure her younger sister doesn't suffer the same fate. Unfortunately, Daisy nears the end of her season still unattached, despite her superior looks and manner. When wealthy widower Adam Blakley comes to town, Daisy and their mother are sure their prayers are answered. But Mister Blakley has other plans that involve a false engagement—and Iris.
