From a winning voice in fiction — the author of My Favorite Mistake and Exes and Ohs — comes a romantic comedy that will have you in stitches. She's late for her life...

Stunned into saying yes when Mr. Predictable springs a surprise proposal on her, Becca realizes that she's running out of time to turn her life around. She's only got one more chance to chase her dreams and no one — not her control freak fiancé, not her dramaholic sisters, not her overprotective parents — will talk her out of it. He's right on time.

“Sisters-in-law to marquises and wards of earls do not marry uneducated bastards with empty coffers.”
In this fourth installment of USA Today bestselling author Collette Cameron’s Conundrums of the Misses Culpepper series, a roguish sea captain battles his attraction to a gently-bred hellion.
Captain Oliver Whitehouse has two goals:
1. Make the final payment on his ship
2. Exact revenge for his grandfather’s murder
He certainly shouldn’t interrupt years of planning to rescue a damsel in distress and see her safely to England. Nor should he foolishly entertain romantic notions about a future with the impulsive beauty. Even if she is the loveliest creature he’s ever laid eyes on, and only she makes him forget his past.
Blaike Culpepper once craved adventure and excitement. Until her impetuousness nearly caused her ruin. Now shadowed by scandal, and pursued by a madman, she finds herself obligated to the darkly handsome Oliver Whitehouse. Though she saves the swashbuckling scoundrel’s life and enjoys a forbidden kiss, the infuriating man spurns her.
Dare Oliver risk everything to pursue Blaike, despite the vast difference in their social stations, or should he sail away? Leaving his heart behind?
Caution: This novel contains a dark-tempered, devilishly handsome sea captain, and impulsive, sometimes mischievous heroine, multiple villains you’ll love to loathe, and a foul-mouthed cockatoo sure to make you giggle. Or blush.
For an adventurous page-turning Regency Historical Romance novel brimming with suspense, passion, and tenderness, read the fourth installment of the Conundrums of the Misses Culpepper. Views: 70

Taken by the Earl After attending the wedding of one of her closest friends, and celebrating the betrothal of another, Mrs. Felicity Randall is looking forward to spending a peaceful summer at her house in the country. Several months when she may do and say as she wishes, without having to constantly be aware of her place in London Society as the respectable young widow of Major Stephen Randall. But before Fliss can manage her escape to the country, she overhears a conversation in which two people discuss the murder of the new Earl of Winterbourne. Unable to see or identify either the man or the woman from her hiding place, but aware of where the murder is to take place, Fliss finds her plans for the summer changed completely, and requiring she procure an invitation to the infamous house party hosted every summer by the notorious Lady Eckles. A house party at which no respectable widow would normally dare to show her face. Sinclair Montgomery has no time or patience for London society, as it had no tolerance for his mother so many years ago when she eloped with her Scottish Highlander, Sin’s own father. But when Sin unexpectedly inherits the title of the Earl of Winterbourne, he has no choice but to go to England to view his new estates. It was certainly not his intention, once there, to find himself the guest at a summer house party. Although the rumors of debauchery and licentious behavior to be had there were certainly enough to pique his interest. Finding the beautiful Mrs. Felicity Randall waiting for him in his bedchamber the second night of his stay, leads Sin to believe that perhaps all is not lost after all, and he proceeds to make love to the delicate beauty. Until she informs him the only reason she came to his bedchamber, has attended this house party at all, is to warn him his life is in danger. That there is a plot afoot to murder him whilst he is there. Sin has only been in England a matter of days, certainly not long enough to have antagonized anyone into wishing to murder him, and leading him to wonder if the poor woman can possibly be deranged. It would be a great pity if that were to be the case, when the sexual attraction between the two of them is instantaneous and highly combustible… Other books by Carole Mortimer Regency Unlaced Series: The Duke’s Mistress (Regency Unlaced 1) Claimed by the Marquis (Regency Unlaced 2) Taken by the Earl (Regency Unlaced 3) Pursued by the Viscount (Regency Unlaced 4) Release May 2016 Untitled (Regency Unlaced 5) Release July 2016 Contemporary Alpha Series: Christmas Alpha (Alpha 1) Dark Alpha (Alpha 2) Shadow Alpha (Alpha 3) Author’s 200th Book Midnight Alpha (Alpha 4) Renegade Alpha (Alpha 5) Warrior Alpha (Alpha 6) Rogue Alpha (Alpha 7) Savage Alpha (Alpha 8) Release date March 2nd 2016 Contemporary Knight Security Series: Alexandre (Knight Security 0.5) Release date February 2016 (5 author anthology Rogues and Royals) Asher (Knight Security 1) Release June 2016 Caleb (Knight Security 2) Release September 2016 ** Views: 70
