The next delightful novel in Anna Bennett's Rogues to Lovers series! "Tantalizing...readers will be swept away." - Publishers Weekly A FISHERMAN’S DAUGHTER Miss Poppy Summers is determined to keep her family’s fishing business afloat. Her poor widowed father has fallen ill, and her foolhardy brother has moved to London, leaving her precious little time to read or pursue her own dreams. But she’ll do anything for her family, so she cheerfully spends mornings in her rowboat, casting her nets. The very last thing Poppy expects or wants to find tangled in them is a dangerously attractive man. Especially one with a head wound—who’s convinced he’s a duke. AND A DUKE OUT OF WATER Andrew Keane is the Duke of Hawking, but he’s having the devil of a time convincing his fiery-haired rescuer of that fact. The truth is he came to the seaside resort of Bellehaven Bay to escape his life in London. Unfortunately, someone in Bellehaven wants to kill him—and he intends to find out who. He implores Poppy to tend to his injuries and hide him on her beach, reasoning it will be easier to find his attacker if that man assumes Keane is already dead. She wants no part of the scheme but can’t refuse the generous sum he offers in exchange for food and shelter while he recovers. It’s a mutually beneficial business arrangement...nothing more. ARE ABOUT TO MAKE WAVES Under Poppy’s care, Keane regains his strength—and a sense of purpose. As they work together to solve the puzzle of his would-be murderer, he’s dazzled by her rapier wit and adventurous spirit; she’s intrigued by his mysterious air and protective streak. Though Poppy’s past gives her every reason to mistrust someone like Keane, the seawalls around her heart crumble in the storm of their passion. But when clues hint at the prime suspect in Keane’s attempted murder, Poppy must decide where her loyalties lie. Torn between the world she’s always known and the one she’s always dreamed of, she’ll need true love for a shot at her fairytale ending.

A nation and a family are divided by fate, love, and loyalty in this epic Civil War novel by the Spur Award–winning author of Thunder in the Valley. America, 1861. Battle lines have been drawn between the North and the South, pitting state against state—and brother against brother. For the three young sons of Ohio State Senator Clay Bell, the Civil War would change the course of their lives . . . and threaten to tear their family apart. Jacob Bell, the eldest, defies his father’s wishes and enlists in Ohio’s Volunteer Calvary, a decision that wins him the love of an officer's daughter—and the hatred of a dangerous childhood rival. To avenge a brutal Union attack on his uncle’s Kentucky horse farm, Judah Bell joins the legendary Lexington Rifles—even if dong so puts his family honor at risk. Meanwhile, their youngest brother, Jarrod Bell, lands a job as a cub reporter for the Cincinnati Times-Ledger. He’s determined to learn the truth behind his brother’s seeming betrayal—even if it leads him into the bloodiest of battles.

What he wanted was a plain and meek wife to take care of his children and stay out of his bedroom. What he got was a fiery temptress who, despite her plain appearance, was far more desirable than he could handle. Patrick Ramsey, Viscount Drakely, is used to having everything go according to his plans. And usually, it does, except when it comes to his three young daughters who are in desperate need of mother and governess. In an attempt to find a suitable woman, he stumbles upon the perfect woman for the post: Miss Juliet Hughes. Juliet, a local village girl, has been educated at London's most highly respect school for young ladies, and better yet, her plain features will make it easy for him to keep his hands off of her. But what Patrick doesn't realize is this plain young lady from a humble background is anything but the docile, biddable young lady he bargained for, and if he's not careful, he'll lose his heavily guarded heart a little more with each encounter they have. With unshakable confidence and a strong determination, Juliet has no intentions of letting this lofty lord run roughshod over her and will stop at nothing to remind him that they may have been born at unequal stations, but where it counts, they're matched perfectly.
