New in Historical Romance - I've Got My Duke to Keep Me Warm by Kelly Bowen
From the Blurb:
WHERE SECRETS SMOLDER . . .
Calm. Cool. Collected. Gisele Whitby has perfected the art of illusion-her survival, after all, has depended upon it. Years ago, to escape an abusive husband, Gisele "disappeared." Now she must risk revealing her new identity to save another innocent girl from the same fate. But she needs a daring man for her scheme, and the rogue in question shows a remarkable talent . . . for shattering Gisele's carefully constructed facade and igniting her deepest desires.
. . . PASSION IGNITES
This isn't the first time Jamie Montcrief has awakened naked and confused from a night of drinking. It is, however, the first time a stunningly beautiful woman offers him payment afterward. Gisele has a business proposition for him, a mission involving cunning thievery and a brazen rescue. How can he say no to a plot this dangerous . . . and a woman this delectable?
I've Got My Duke to Keep Me Warm by Kelly Bowen is a new historical romance from Forever, released December 16, 2014 and available from Amazon.
New in Fantasy Romance - The Sacrifice by AJ Nuest
From the Blurb:
The second Faedrah Austiere walked into his life off the canvas,
everything in Rhys McEleod’s world stopped making sense. Not only does
her story sound like a Grimm’s fairy tale, evidently he’s been cast as
the villain. If that isn’t enough, the mirror inside that old, beat up
armoire at her uncle’s condo is supposedly a doorway to another world.
Ever since the pathway opened, something inside him has seemed…off. If
what his muse says is true, they are headed for an epic showdown, but he
isn’t about to let her go. Nothing is more important than Faedrah’s
protection, even if her parents refuse to accept him.
Though certain their fates are bound by more than the golden key Princess Faedrah wears around her neck, it is paramount Rhys’ true identity be kept secret. Should news of his bloodline ever reach her kingdom, their entire quest to save her people could be lost. Their only hope to prove his loyalty is to steal the map to the dark lord’s Crystal Crypt. Yet her a plan endangers her beloved more than the accusations he faces in her kingdom and, to escape evil’s grasp, she and Rhys must take a leap of faith beyond her wildest imagination.

From the Blurb:
Bree Logan is ready to start her post-college life, but when she’s dumped by The One, unable to land a professional job, and has to move back in with her parents, she doesn’t think things can get worse until she ends up with her hair chopped into The Rachel, the infamous haircut made famous by the show Friends. Which is not good since it’s no longer 1994. But sometimes you have to go through challenges to get what you really need, and for Bree, could that include a different career and a romance with Jack Chelten, the boy-next-door?
Surviving the Rachel by Aven Ellis is a new contemporary romance from Soul Mate Publishing, released December 19, 2014 and available from Amazon.
