Never Borrow a Baronet - Patience Ramsey is shocked when her new employer introduces her as the bride-to-be of her nephew. The pretty Patience could cover for Sir Harry when he spies for England. Can he convince her to overlook the scandals surrounding him and exchange their false engagement for a true love? 

“Regina is hooking me from the first page, and I don't want to set the book down until I finish the story!" (For the Love of Christian Fiction)

Always Kiss at Christmas - In the origin story for Meredith Thorn, she has one goal for her mother’s Christmas Eve party: convince her friend Julian Mayes to marry her.
