This is one of those books that I highly recommend reading in one sitting. I loved being able to lose myself in the story.” NEW YEAR’S MASQUERADE New Year’s Eve, 1810 Bernard Talbot, Earl of Gresham, is ready to take the next step: make Miss Lisbeth Dawes his countess and continue the Gresham legacy.

Now she is widowed and hoping to step back into Bernard’s life. With just one night left before his wedding, Bernard must decide whether to honor duty or follow his heart. READER REVIEW - “If you love swoon-worthy historicals and second chance romances, this is your golden ticket!” THE DUCHESS WAGER January 1811 The duke accepts a wager Fitz, the Duke of Harrodshire, views marriage as a business arrangement, not a question of the heart.

A widow in mourning At her parents’ home in Northern England to recover from her husband’s sudden death, Lady Margot Wickham isn’t sure she’ll ever be ready to face the duties of being a Dowager Countess. When unexpected travelers show up in a snowstorm, Margot is grateful for the distraction. Until she realizes she might be too distracted by a certain duke. Duty calls When Margot gets notice of unrest at her husband’s cotton mill, she realizes she can put off duty no longer. Alarmed, Fitz volunteers to accompany her south. He plans to help her resolve the issue - but the road trip is a convenient excuse to stay close, too. READER REVIEW - “Five Stars - Must Read! A charming and quick Regency romance abut a woman not only finding love, but confidence in herself.” THE HUSBAND PLOT WHAT COULD GO WRONG WHEN YOU MARRY A PERFECT STRANGER? Lisbeth Dawes would rather not end up a spinster. After her first fiance leaves her at the altar, she agrees to marry Adrian Hathorne sight-unseen. She doesn’t expect much from her new husband, since he plans to leave for Jamaica within the year, but she does hope for friendship and freedom to pursue her own interests. Adrian Hathorne wants to be above reproach. He doesn’t indulge in any of the usual gentlemanly pursuits, nor does he chase after any women. When his father writes from Jamaica with instructions to marry as soon as possible, he does as asked. It is only after the wedding that he realizes he doesn’t really know how to be a husband - especially not to a bluestocking wife with so many of her own ideas. Divorce is not an option - which means Lisbeth and Adrian need to find common ground before their marriage of convenience goes up in smoke. Just when they have discovered they don’t disagree with each other over everything, another letter arrives from Jamaica with news neither of them expected. News that will test every aspect of their fledgling marriage. READER REVIEW - “This book was absolutely amazing, the characters, their love story, the values they shared. It’s an absolute must-read for anyone who loves historical romance and has been wanting some more inclusive books in terms of race and sexual orientation.” Grab the complete Countess Chronicles series now!

Book excerpt: In Post-World War II London, Jean Paget, a secretary in a leather goods factory, is informed by solicitor Noel Strachan that she has inherited a considerable sum of money from an uncle she never knew. But the solicitor is now her trustee and she only has the use of the income until she inherits absolutely, at the age of thirty five, several years in the future. In the firm's interest, but increasingly with personal interest, Strachan acts as her guide and advisor. Jean decides that her priority is to build a well in a Malayan village.

The second part of the story flashes back to Jean's experiences during the war, when she was working in Malaya at the time the Japanese invaded and was taken prisoner together with a group of women and children.

As she speaks Malay fluently, Jean takes a leading role in the group of prisoners. The Japanese refuse all responsibility for the group and march them from one village to another.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nevil Shute was an English novelist and aeronautical engineer, who spent his later years living in Australia. His novels are written in a simple, highly readable style, with clearly delineated plots. An enduring theme of his novels is the dignity of work, spanning all classes. His famous novel ‘On the Beach’ (1957) reflects his pessimism for humanity in the atomic age, while ‘A Town like Alice’ (1950) tackles themes of emigration and racism, as the heroine seeks economic prosperity in a disadvantaged outback community. Several of Shute's novels explore the boundary between accepted science and rational belief, on the one hand, and mystical or paranormal possibilities, on the other. The author is noted for his unique talent of weaving his technical knowledge of engineering into the texture of his narratives. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Shute’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
