When Frances Bumgarten encounters a handsome stranger in her kitchen in the middle of the night, her first impulse is to
wallop the scoundrel on the head with a bread paddle. And when Frankie discovers he is “The Fox,” a disarmingly arrogant
purveyor of gossip among England’s aristocracy, she’s tempted to take a second swing…
Never mind that Reynard Boulton, nephew of the Viscount Tannehill, is returning her inebriated uncle safely home. This
chiseled intruder has sparked an infuriating physical sensation unlike anything the feisty silver heiress has experienced. In
fact, the noblemen of London are so dull, Frankie’s sworn off marriage entirely. She will, however, help her younger sister
win her own love match—even if it means secretly enlisting Reynard’s enquiring mind…
But secrets, as Reynard knows too well, can be costly. For Frankie is yet unaware that a villainous duke is scheming to claim
her—and ruin him. Soon they’re racing to uncover the truth—and fueling a passion that won’t stay hidden…

Now that she’s completed her engineering degree, Rachel Ford Morgan is trying to find her footing around her birth father
and her four brothers. She gets a chance to prove herself when she discovers worrisome fault lines around an abandoned
silver mine. But they’re nothing compared to the cowboy who seems determined to shake up her world…
Cauy Lymond doesn’t take kindly to the woman nosing around his property—especially since she’s a Morgan. He came
home just to keep his father’s failing ranch out of their super-wealthy hands. But he soon realizes that Rachel’s skill—and
admirable courage—may be the only things that can shore up the old mine that threatens both their futures. Still, it will take
pouring all of their blood, sweat, and secrets into saving the land—and ultimately, themselves—to bring their true feelings
for each other to the surface…

London Danvers disappeared almost twenty years ago. The youngest child of hotel tycoon Witt Danvers—and the only child
with his second wife, Kat—London hasn’t been seen since. Over time, many women have claimed to be the long-lost heiress.
Adria Nash is the latest. But from the moment Zachary Danvers sees her, he believes Adria is different. For one thing, Adria
looks just like Zachary’s former stepmother. For another, Adria knows personal details only London could have known.
Just four years old at the time of the kidnapping, Adria can’t be sure if what she feels in her gut, and what she’s been told, is
true. She has no memory of the abduction, and confronting Zach is the only way to get answers. Yet she feels a deep sense
of dread. London’s nanny also vanished that terrible night. And Kat Danvers fell to her death under suspicious circumstances
soon after. If Adria really is London, she stands to inherit a fortune—but will she also become a target?
Adria is right to be afraid. Because someone does believe her. Someone who has killed before and is watching her every
move, waiting for the right moment to see how she runs…see how she screams…see how she dies…

Then their leader is strangled with a garland of violets—and Britta finds the body. With tensions running high and so much

Savannah Zaher has always prided herself on making the right decisions for her life, from the time she packed up her things
to attend college and law school in California to coming back home ten years later grown, focused, and with a career she’s
always dreamed of. Only her best friend Reign knows the real reason behind her moving across the country all those years
ago—trying to distance herself from a man.
Lyfe Simmons is on top of the world. He has an empire that has been growing bigger every day, a group of friends who
would die for each other, and a wife who is down for whatever. What could he possibly be missing? He has basically
anything he could ever want right as his fingertips, but he doesn’t have the one thing he wants most: the woman he fell
in love with and hasn’t stopped loving since he first laid eyes on her.
With so many obstacles and bitter people in the way, can love really conquer all? Or will the consequences of loving a man
who belongs to someone else cost Savannah everything she’s worked so hard for?
Blake Karrington is more than an author. He’s a storyteller who places his readers in action-filled moments. It’s in these
creative spaces that readers get to know his complex characters as if they’re alive. Likening him to a bad-boy gone good,
readers see a storyteller who writes as if he’s lived in the worlds he generously shares, readily conveying his message that
humanity is everywhere, especially in the unlikely, mean streets of cities like Charlotte.
