Book excerpt: A shocking reunion and a Yuletide bargain will either end in a double disaster…or a second chance for love. Celebrated war hero Harry Thatcher returned to England a drunken wastrel and determined bachelor. He takes up the mantle of the Saint of Seven Dials in an attempt to halt his march down the path to ruin, but what first set him on that path? Most assume it was the battlefield injury that cost Harry his arm but years earlier, there was a woman… Xena Maxwell fascinated Harry when he met her in an Army camp on the Peninsula. Heedless of convention after traveling the world with her scholarly father, she preferred breeches to dresses and was as gifted at repairing wounds as causing them, with pistol or sword. Harry’s attraction and Xena’s disregard for propriety ended in a forced wedding and immediate separation by her furious father. Wartime miscommunication led each to believe the other dead until, seven years later, they abruptly come face to face in London! Overcoming their mutual shock, they agree to ignore that long-ago wedding and go their separate ways until Harry’s meddling best friend tricks them into giving their marriage a chance by sharing a house for the month of December. Can living openly as husband and wife—and a dose of Christmas spirit—repair old wounds and give them the happy ending they were denied seven years before? The latest installment in Brenda Hiatt’s bestselling Saint of Seven Dials series!

Book excerpt: Innocent? Or…not? After spending the first twenty-one years of her life tucked away in the country, studious Rowena Riverstone can’t wait to experience London for the first time. She especially looks forward to meeting many of the forward-thinking gentlemen whose opinions she has followed in the papers for years. But it is the mysterious and dashing Noel Paxton who stirs her senses, even as she mistrusts his motives in befriending her, a bespectacled bluestocking spinster. In his quest to expose a dangerous spy and traitor, Noel has taken on the persona of the legendary Saint of Seven Dials. When he meets Miss Riverstone, he is first distracted, then fascinated, for she is clearly more than she appears on the surface—but what? Merely a highly educated—and opinionated—innocent, or the very traitor he seeks? Finding out promises to be both dangerous and delicious. But will his heart be at even greater risk than his life?

Download or read book Gabriella written by Brenda Hiatt and published by Brenda Hiatt. This book was released on 2012-06-26 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He lost a wager . . . but won a treasure. Due to a lost wager, the Duke of Ravenham is obliged to bring a pretty little nobody from the country into fashion among the high-sticklers of London Society. Ravenham would never refuse a debt of honor, no matter how unorthodox, so he overlooks Miss Gordon’s vulgar relations to do what is necessary, escorting the unsophisticated chit to balls, etc. But what he expects to be an irksome duty turns out to be something quite different as he falls under the spell of his protege’s innocent charm. When he lost that wager, he definitely never counted on losing his heart as well! First impressions can be deceiving. Miss Gabriella Gordon only came to London at her mother’s and sister’s insistence, for she’d much rather assist in running her father’s veterinary practice than attempt to fit into fashionable society. No sooner has she arrived in London than the exalted (and exceedingly handsome) Duke of Ravenham comes to call. The reason is less than flattering, however: due to a lost wager, the Duke is forced to bring Gabriella into fashion, a “favor” she would certainly refuse if her family would let her. But the more time she spends in the dashing Duke’s company, the more conflicted she feels— particularly when she discovers they have more in common than she ever dared dream. Book 1 of Brenda Hiatt’s bestselling Hiatt Regency Classics collection.

Determined to undo the bargain, she wrests a promise from Sir Thomas that if she can find proof Lord Seabrook is a rogue, he will release her from the betrothal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The course of true love never did run smooth… Violet Turpin has always lived for adventure and romance, a combination that has more than once gotten her into trouble. Her first attempt at a London debut was short and disastrous because her love of excitement far outstripped her concern for the proprieties. A few months later, she eloped with a sweet-talking fortune hunter and only saved from ruin in the nick of time. Now she’s determined to ride in fox hunts, even though that’s not something ladies do. Knowing all this, her brother asks his friend Lord Rushford to keep a close eye on her during her second attempt at a London Season—a task the earl is reluctant to take on, given his most inconvenient attraction to the madcap Miss Turpin. His task is made harder by Violet’s plans for her time in London.

Download or read book The Handmaid s Secret written by Brenda Hiatt and published by Dolphin Star Press. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molly O’Gara is a Martian misfit. Born on Mars to Ag farmer parents, she was adopted as a baby by a high-ranking Royal family after her parents were killed. As an “Ag,” by rights Molly should have exceptional skill with plants, so the fact that she instead has a “brown thumb” is a big source of embarrassment. Because she’s not truly Royal, she also has none of the prestige that goes with that group, except for that of being appointed official Handmaid to Sovereign Emileia, leader of all Martian people on Mars and Earth. Though holding such a position is a great honor for a lowly Ag, now that she and Emileia, better known as M, are back on Earth, there is little for Molly to do in that capacity. That is, until a new boy shows up at Jewel High. Tristan, another Royal, is absurdly handsome but also totally obnoxious—and seems to have made it his mission in life to steal M, the Sovereign, away from her bonded soulmate, Rigel. So now Molly’s mission as Handmaid is to keep Tristan as far away from M as possible—even if that means spending way more time in his company than she’d like. As expected, that kind of familiarity breeds contempt, on both sides. At first, anyway… The much-anticipated continuation of the electrifying Starstruck series, where teen romance blends with science fiction to open a whole new world of action, adventure and discovery!

To prevent him taking such a risk, Sarah decides to assume the Saint’s mantle herself, at least until she can find gainful (and respectable) employment. Lord Peter Northrup is more entranced by the lovely but mysterious Miss Killian than he has ever been by any other woman, but she is very careful of her secrets. When he delves beneath the surface he finds more than he’d bargained for—not only intelligence and courage, but a secret that could ruin him along with Sarah herself, should it become public.
