Romantic Suspense

The chance of a lifetime . . . or just another bad decision? Delaney Lavender Brooks needs to grow up. At least, according to her parents. After getting evicted from her apartment and wrecking her car, Laney is almost ready to trade in her paintbrushes and surrender to a more sensible 9-to-5 existence. Almost. Until she's awarded an internship at a prestigious art gallery in Paris. What else can the free-spirited artist do but follow her dreams? Even if her latest attempt at chasing rainbows might cost her a real future . . . 
Once in the city of lights, Laney is almost undone by the glaring truth: maybe she isn't sophisticated or talented enough to make it as an artist-or an independent woman, for that matter. And when she's hotly pursued by a seductive Frenchman, she has to wonder if she's about to be a fool for love, too. Soon Laney's greatest challenge is not proving herself to her parents, but having the courage to live the life-and love-of her dreams . . .

Owning It

Brown, Leah Marie

Book #1 in the series Charmed, Texas . . . quaint, quirky, and when it comes to romance, there's no place quite as enchanting. Lanie Barrett didn't mean to lie. Spinning a story of a joyous marriage to make a dying woman happy is forgivable, isn't it? Lanie thinks so, especially since her beloved Aunt Ruby would have been heartbroken to know the truth of her niece's sadly loveless, short-of-sparkling existence. Trouble is, according to the will, Ruby didn't quite buy Lanie's tale. And to inherit the only house Lanie ever really considered a home, she'll have to bring her "husband" back to Charmed for three whole months---or watch Aunt Ruby's cozy nest go to her weasel cousin, who will sell it to a condo developer. Nick McKane is out of work, out of luck, and the spitting image of the man Lanie described. He needs money for his daughter's art school tuition, and Lanie needs a convenient spouse. It's a match made . . . well, not quite in heaven, but for a temporary arrangement, it couldn't be better. Except the longer Lanie and Nick spend as husband and wife, the more the connection between them begins to seem real. Maybe this modern fairy tale really could come true . . .

Book #2 in the series... Carmen Frost hates honey. And bees. And in her hometown of Charmed, Texas, which practically invented the stuff, that's a problem.

Now she's got a divorce behind her, and a successful law career in front of her, but in a tiny town, big memories die hard. Or they don't die at all-as Carmen discovers when she runs into an all too familiar pair of eyes-older, wiser, and just as heart-melting as ever . . . Sully Hart has had enough of the nomad lifestyle. Travelling with his father's carnival gave him adventures, but it cost him much more. Now he's home to stay, contracted to create an entertainment complex in Charmed. He wants roots, a house with a yard and all the mundane pleasures that go with it. But the girl he loved has become a woman who still wants freedom. Can she still want him? It seems he and Carmen are at each other's throats one minute-and on each other's lips the next. Someone's gotta give . . .

SEEKING THE SMART ONE Twenty-four-year-old Jen Reid had her life in good shape: an okay job, a tiny-cute Seattle apartment, and a great boyfriend almost ready to get serious. In a flash it all came apart. Single, unemployed, and holding an eviction notice, who has time to remember trying out for a reality show? Then the call comes, and Jen sees her chance to start over-by spending her summer on national TV. Luckily The Fishbowl is all about puzzles and games, the kind of thing Jen would love even if she wasn't desperate. The cast checks all the boxes: cheerful, quirky Birdie speaks in hashtags; vicious Ariana knows just how to pout for the cameras; and corn-fed "J-dawg" plays the cartoon villain of the house. Then there's Justin, the green-eyed law student who always seems a breath away from kissing her. Is their attraction real, or a trick to get him closer to the $250,000 grand prize? Romance or showmance, suddenly Jen has a lot more to lose than a summer . . .

Heffernan, Laura

Modern-day life on the Australian Outback is a high-stakes game, even among the most privileged-and love must be strong to survive . . . Royston Stirling has all the strength, money, and power that his infamous father wielded over the family cattle station deep in the dusty bush of Australia's Channel Country. But from the moment she sees him, Amelia Boyd knows Royce struggles to be a better man. His tense energy attracts her, fueling the spell of remote, manor-like Kooralya and its lush gardens of gardenia and roses-even as she recognizes that the wedding bringing their families together is a terrible mistake.  Amelia knows her sister has snared Royce's brother more out of greed than passion. But she can't abandon her, no matter how conniving she seems. And with the groom besotted with Amelia even as he prepares to walk down the aisle, the ill-fated match stirs up nightmares of the past. Amelia might almost forgive Royce's suspicions. But the arrogance of a wounded man is a powerful force, one Amelia knows too well. And as the desire brewing between Royce and Amelia grows irresistible, the distrust, heartache, and family secrets seething beneath the surface are bound to burst forth . . .
