The peasant king
Par Tessa Afshar. 2023
Jemmah has always thought of herself as perfectly ordinary ... until she faces extraordinary circumstances. When her mother, the Persian…
king's famous senior scribe, is kidnapped, Jemmah and her sister must sneak undetected into enemy territory to rescue her. But infiltrating their adversary's lands proves easier than escaping them. As they flee through dangerous mountain passes, their survival depends on the skills of a stranger they free from prison: a mysterious prince named Asher. Asher is not who the world believes he is. Despite his royal blood, he has had to climb his way out of poverty to forge success from nothing. A manufacturer of some of the best weaponry in the East, Asher has only one goal: to destroy his father. But following his escape from prison, Asher is irresistibly drawn to Jemmah, unaware that she guards her own secret. Jemmah must convince Asher to give up everything he has worked for, all for the sake of a higher purpose he's not sure he believes in. The fate of the Persian Empire—and possibly the Judean people—hangs in the balance and in the persuasive power of one ordinary womanNever rescue a rogue: A novel (The Merriwell Sisters #2)
Par Virginia Heath. 2022
In this Regency rom-com, when a Duke and a reporter team up to uncover his family’s secrets, their search brings…
up more than they bargained for—including their feelings for each other. Diana Merriwell and Giles Sinclair only tolerate one another for the sake of their nearest and dearest. Everyone believes that the two of them are meant to be together, but Diana and Giles know that their constant pithy barbs come from a shared disdain—not a hidden attraction. Diana loves the freedom of working at the newspaper too much to give it up for marriage, and Giles is happily married to his bachelor lifestyle. But they do have one thing in common—the secrets they can’t risk escaping. When Giles’ father, the curmudgeonly Duke of Harpenden unexpectedly turns up his toes, it’s only a matter of time before someone comes crawling out of the woodwork who knows the true circumstances of his only son's birth. As the threat of blackmail becomes real, Giles must uncover the truth of his parentage first, or else he and all those who depend upon him will be ruined—and dogged bloodhound Diana is his best hope at sniffing out the truth. As Giles and Diana dive into his family’s past, the attraction that the two of them insisted wasn’t there proves impossible to ignore. Soon, the future of the Sinclair estate isn’t the only thing on the line… Never Rescue a Rogue , the next book in the Merriwell Sisters series, is filled with whip-smart banter, swoony romance, hilarious mishaps, and twisty reveals that will make you gasp and laugh in delight; Virginia Heath’s latest is one you won’t want to missCowboy wild (Four Corners Ranch #3)

up around Hunter McCloud, Elsie Garrett considers herself immune to his particular brand of cowboy. Her brother's best friend is too big, too broad, too everything for comfort. But when relationship-shy Elsie decides it's finally time for her to get some romantic experience, Hunter suddenly might be useful after all. Maybe he, with his many casual hookups, is the perfect cowboy to teach her how to flirt? Elsie is the best horse wrangler around, but Hunter can see she doesn't know anything about men—orphaned as a child and brought up by her brothers, she's so wild she's practically feral. But Hunter has always looked out for her, and he's not about to stop now. Until Hunter realizes he's playing with fire. Elsie might not understand the chemistry slowly building between them, but he does, and it's burning stronger and hotter than anything he's ever experienced. And when Elsie decides to act on it, Hunter knows that it could threaten to consume them both. In the bonus novella Her Wayward Cowboy, can a returning cowboy win back the love of the woman he left behind?
