Jess Michaels is back with this spicy new historical romance! From the time they were teenagers, Emilia, Wren and Aiden knew they desired and loved each other, but their disparate classes and her father’s intention to wed her to a title separated them cruelly for years. They had all accepted that they would likely never be together again until a shocking truth pulls them into each other’s orbit once more. Emilia’s marriage to a viscount was anything but happy, and it has turned dangerous. She believes he’s trying to kill her and in desperation she reaches out to Aiden to steal her away and save her. Meanwhile, her husband has also hired Wren, now an investigator, to find his wayward wife and bring her back home. Of course he has no intention to do so, but he takes the case and finds his quarry. Reunited at last, with the terrible truth out, the three must work together to find a way to save Emilia, and themselves, from ruin and potential death.

Will they find a way to love each other for all time, or will the danger that stalks them have its way in the end? This is the fifth book in the Theirs series but can be read as a standalone.

In fact, they are so close that they confide in each other about everything, including their families’ demands that they marry. Just not each other, of course. That would be unseemly. Campbell does plan to wed – eventually. Though, by the time the annual Night of a Thousand Stars Christmastide ball at Highburn Castle arrives, Charity is facing a difficult choice – marry the man her father has selected for her or become a spinster. Determined to know a lover’s touch at least once, Charity sets out to have an affair during the house party and she wants Campbell’s help to accomplish her goal. However, an errant kiss between the two shatters what has always been the perfect friendship. As Campbell takes on the role of Charity’s temporary lover, can either of them come to terms with their changing feelings? More importantly, will their new-found love survive beyond the house party and Highburn’s magical holiday spell? This 68,600-word novella, which is a companion piece to the “Tales From Seldon Park” series, is written in the modern, Regency romance style for a slightly hotter and sexier read.
