The Love Remedy (2024)
(Damsels of Discovery, book 1)
Elizabeth Everett
"Elizabeth Everett has done it again! Sexy, witty, tender, and wise, her latest unforgettable romance transports readers to a visionary woman-owned Victorian apothecary where the scorchingly well-matched hero and heroine learn which rules to break and which hearts to mend. The Love Remedy firmly establishes Everett as a trailblazer and truth-teller whose daring historical fiction lights the way forward."
Ready or Not (2024)
Cara Bastone
"An absolute treasure of a book! Cara Bastone gives readers a gift, and pays humanity a compliment, with this warmly witty, profoundly tender story of a love that makes the world bigger and better. Ready or Not introduces indelible characters who navigate their entanglements with abundant, heart-bursting kindness. The result is one of the most emotionally satisfying romances I've read in years."
The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies (2023)
(Ill-Mannered Ladies, book 1)
Alison Goodman
"Fresh and fearless, Alison Goodman's exquisitely written, impeccably-researched genre-blending novel shines a light in the darkest corners of Regency England. The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies is part heart-racing adventure, part gothic mystery, part tantalizing romance, and wholly wonderful. I can't wait for the next installment!"
