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

linked to the highest level of government in London. During her
investigation Hollis spies a man with no business lurking around

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

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.
