Pour yourself a nice mug of hot chocolate and curl up on a comfy sofa to read the heartwarming romance book, A Christmas Romance with the Earl.

It’s a week before Christmas when Jess Smith, a thirty-year-old London copywriter, is hoping that childhood crush Matthew Churchill will honour a decade-old pact and ask her to marry him.

But on the eve of the deadline, Matthew announces that he is marrying her old school bully instead.

The heartbroken Jess flees to the beautiful frost-covered village of Birling Grove to stay at her parents’ farm cottage, but she soon clashes with a notorious local earl…

As their feelings grow, will new love blossom or will a dithering Matthew get in the way?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I wanted to write a romance novel where the heroine did not necessarily have a glamorous job but was not looking to escape it either. So that the hero becomes part of a fulfilled life, rather than the entire destination.

The Shipyard Man by Ann Streetman

The Shipyard Man by Ann Streetman

The late summer Sunday morning in 1905 appeared to be as boring as ever for Mary Johns Leonard until a stranger slid into the pew in front of her and her daughter Callie.

When the prayer ended, Mary stole a glance at the stranger before turning to the right page in the hymnal. She began to sing. The tenor voice of the stranger singing “Love Devine All Loves Excelling” was the most beautiful male voice she had ever heard. Could he be a professional singer passing through?

Mary’s eyes strayed to his broad shoulders more than once during the sermon. The collar on his shirt was clean, but frayed. Surely no traveling performer would have such a frayed collar. His straight black hair was clean but a bit too long at the nape of his neck. Working too hard to stop for a haircut?

The next day Mary looked up from the counter in her pappa’s general store to see the stranger. By the time he left, she knew he had grown up in Oregon where he worked at a sawmill and later helped build ships. A shipyard man. Clearly not like anyone she had ever known. A very interesting stranger.

Come along with Mary and Bill in their rocky journey of learning more about themselves and each other. This book does not easily fit into a neat category. Mary’s journey of self-discovery is Women’s Fiction. The love story of Mary and Bill is unmistakable Romance. It could be called Christian fiction since their faith is a significant part of their love story. Call it what you will and enjoy the journey of Mary and Bill.

About Featured Book: The Billionaire Deal by Lori Ryan

Kelly Bradley isn’t impulsive. Unless you count that time she walked into billionaire power player Jack Sutton’s office and proposed on a sticky note.

He said yes, by the way. With that one word, he saved her from crippling student loan debt and his company from a takeover that would mean its end.

What could go wrong?

A lot, as it turns out.

A Hand for the Duke by Meredith Bond

A Hand for the Duke by Meredith Bond

Can the Ladies of the Wagering Whist Society help an impoverished modiste win the hand of a sought-after Duke?
Tina Rowan is beautiful, talented—and wants nothing more than to be free of her past. The illegitimate daughter of a baroness, she is being blackmailed by her own foster-father. She must rely on her flair for designing dresses to earn enough to pay him off. Starting a business dressing the ladies of Regency society isn’t easy for a nobody. But Tina has three aces up her sleeve—her own amazing talent, her well-connected biological mother, and the helpful (if meddlesome) support of the Ladies’ Wagering Whist Society.
The handsome, arrogant Duke of Warwick has grown up schooled in the “proper” way for a nobleman to behave. Rule number one: do not fraternize with people of the lower classes. But when he has to introduce his beloved sister to society, he finds himself completely reliant on the beguiling woman he’s hired as his sister’s modiste. To his astonishment, he finds himself opening up to her and enjoying her company far, far too much.
When Tina discovers the true man behind the ducal title, her heart might very well be lost. But can the duke set aside his façade and allow himself to love the only woman who could possibly make him happy?
It will take the combined efforts of the Ladies’ Wagering Whist Society to see this difficult hand well played.
