Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Publishers Weekly’s Top 10 Romances of the Fall! New York Times bestseller, Suzanne Enoch takes a delightful new path in her joyful historical romantic comedy, Something in the Heir. Smart, capable heiress Emmeline Pershing will do anything to keep her beloved home; and all it takes is an arranged marriage and a teeny white lie to fulfill her family’s silly inheritance rules. But now her little fib means that she and her completely unsuspecting husband are going to inherit big — and very messy! —trouble. Emmeline and William Pershing have enjoyed a perfectly convenient marriage for eight years. Their relationship is a seamless blend of their talents and goals. They’ve settled into separate, well-ordered lives beneath the same roof, and are content to stay that way—or so Emmeline thinks. And if William has secretly longed for a bit more from the woman he adores, he’s managed to be content with her supreme skills as a hostess and planner, which has helped him advance his career. Then when Emmeline’s grandfather, the reclusive Duke of Welshire, summons them both for his birthday celebration and demands they bring their two little angelic children, William is stunned to discover that his very proper wife invented not one, but two heirs to fulfill the agreement for living at Winnover. But surely if Emmeline and William team up and borrow two cherubs to call their own, what could go wrong? Enter George, age 8, and Rose, 5—the two most unruly orphans in Britain. As the insanity unfolds, their careful, professional arrangement takes some surprisingly intimate turns as well. Perhaps it takes a bit of madness to create the perfect happily ever after.

Book excerpt: In this thrilling sequel to Henry Luk's acclaimed China Bride, an all-American woman gets caught up in a deadly struggle to preserve her Chinese husband's ancient family empire amidst clashes of mores and customs, both business and private. Beth O'Connor, former US Olympic runner, came to Hong Kong the wife of the heir apparent to the Chang family empire . . . only to encounter deep-seated disapproval as a foreign bride. Hated in a culture where the patriarch's opinion is revered by all, Beth stands alone in a city where power is everything, and the struggle to maintain status is based on appearance and strength. Fortunately, she has both in spades. But the Chang Empire is crumbling and the patriarch has suffered a stroke. Partially disabled, he needs a steady hand to guide the family empire through the Asian Financial Crisis. He finds himself turning more frequently to Beth, whose determination and drive are better suited to fending off the looming disaster than her husband's impulsiveness. As her husband, eyeing the family throne, becomes more and more reckless, he leaves Beth alone to attempt to hold the family and the empire together in a world that would have no qualms betraying her.
