Sarah Morgan on The Princess Plan ‘The wit and charm made this a
book I simply didn’t want to put down.’ Nicola Cornick on The
Princess Plan A Secret. A Lie. A Revolution. Hollis Honeycutt has
written her London gazette since the death of her husband –
featuring fashion plates, marriage advice, and the latest gossip in
and around Mayfair. But now she feels her gazette should have more
meaning, cover topics of more consequence than the latest curl
cream. The opportunity presents itself when Hollis overhears
rumours of a potential coup in the Kingdom of Wesloria, a coup
linked to the highest level of government in London. During her
investigation Hollis spies a man with no business lurking around
peace talks, and determines to expose him for the traitor he most
certainly must be. When Weslorian Marek Brendan was fifteen he was
shocked to discover his heritage was not what he believed – he
was whisked away from the Weslorian palace when he was born because
there was fear that corrupt forces would try and kidnap him. Now he
is determined to stop these corrupt forces staging a coup in his
home country. Except for the beautiful woman whose questions are
putting his own investigation at risk. Yet soon Marek realises that
pretty Hollis can help him. But when he confides his suspicions,
Hollis’s loyalties are tested and she must choose between her
loyalties to her family, or her heart…

Another "sinfully sexy romance" (Booklist) in New York Times
bestselling author Julia London's Scandalous series about an
arranged marriage that may end in misery or true love. On the run
from the wrathful Prince of Wales, Jack Haines, Earl of Lambourne,

offer: if Jack handfasts his niece, then his life will be spared.
The old Highland custom--a marriage lasting only a year and a day,
unless both partners agree to make it a lifelong vow--sounds
preferable to being dragged back to London in chains, and when Jack
meets lovely Lizzie Beal, his dilemma starts to seem positively
enjoyable. Until the hellion unleashes her fury. Detesting the
scandalous match that will end all her chances of making a
respectable marriage, Lizzie can't abide living intimately with a
fugitive nobleman bent on seducing her and then running off. But in
teaching her the pleasures of married life, Jack sparks within them
both a passion that will make him wish he could stay with Lizzie
for much longer than a year and a day.
