Charming the Chieftain by Deanie Roman

Accused of witchery, Lady Elisande Cadby must submit to the Rite of Purification before wedding Baron Warford the Brutal. On the eve of her union, she flees Cadby Hall armed with an arsenal of Pagan-rooted curatives and her ever-present comfort-stone. With grudging assistance from a formidable chieftain who unsettles her senses, she embarks on a harrowing escape across the Borders in search of sanctuary.

Chieftain Aeden Maxwell would rather bed down with the hounds than concede he is enchanted by Elisande's caramel-colored locks, and feisty manner. After all, she is intended for his volatile older brother. Besides, Elisande's unusual ideas and strange convictions are dangerous and he doesn't need more trouble.

Once ensconced at Caeverlark Castle, Elisande is confronted by Aeden's mistress, who spies on Elisande during a spirit cleansing ritual. Within days word of Elisande's odd practices and peculiar beliefs cause a divide in the clan. Once more, accusations of witchery abound. However, Elisande has other worries to consider. With Aeden's brother trying to force himself on her, a brutal killer hiding in plain sight intent upon Aeden's death, and a disturbing truth behind a long-buried secret about to come to light, Elisande must dispel rumors and gain the clan's trust before jealousy and betrayal destroy the man she loves.

Daman's Angel by Charmaine Ross

Daman Quade wants to die, but when he does an angel rescues him — an angel who doesn't remember who she is or what she was doing in that dark alley. All Daman knows is that he should be dead and the angel shouldn't be alive on earth.

Daman wants to help the angel return to her place in the otherworlds and enlists the help of Father Joseph. They discover that Angel has to be returned by a flesh and blood sacrifice in three days or she is doomed to walk the earth until the end of time, neither angel nor human. Daman is torn, knowing he must be the sacrifice to save Angel and wanting to live and love again in the one chance of life Angel has given him.

Angel has a very big secret. She has fallen in love with Daman. Now that she is flesh and blood, her physical attraction is all consuming. She doesn't want to go back. She wants to become human, to live and love as a mortal woman. And she wants Daman at her side until death do them part. But that might be earlier than she thinks.

Daman must survive otherworldly demons and death itself to claw his way back to a life where they both can be together. But after all that — will Angel's secret prove too much to overcome?

Her New Worst Enemy by Christy McKellen

Six months ago Ellie Holdsworthy's life was all planned out — kids, wedding, happy ever after — until her boyfriend dumped her for another woman. When her best friend Penny, an heiress to a small fortune, looks set to run off with a gold-digger, Ellie has to save her from certain doom — and fast. Unfortunately, the only person who can help is the one person she'd rather not ask ...

Little does Ellie know, persuading her brother's best friend — commitment phobic, playboy businessman, Gideon DeLancy — to hold an intervention at his beautiful Georgian manor would be the easy part. Keeping her hands off him is a whole other matter.

Gideon doesn't intend to fall for his friend's snarky sister, and he sure as hell doesn't expect their weekend to develop into a full-on sex-fest. When passion takes a stranglehold, their differences don't seem to matter. After all, a torrid weekend affair should be the easiest thing in the world to walk away from, so why are they finding it so difficult?

Romancing the Seas by Cait O'Sullivan

Sous-chef Pippa Renshaw thinks a change of scene will mend her bruised heart, so she swaps her job in a prestigious London restaurant to head-chef on a cruise ship sailing around New Zealand. A great plan until she meets her new CEO, the delectable Jonathon Eagleton, and discovers she has to share a suite with him.

Even though sparks fly whenever they are together, Jonathon steadfastly keeps her at arm's length, which suits Pippa just fine because she's still getting over the betrayal of the last time she had a relationship with the boss.

The situation is starting to feel like solitary confinement until a thunderstorm traps them in a tramper's hut while hiking. Suddenly a different kind of storm unleashes inside the hut.

But will they be able to go back to their previous status now the line has been crossed?

Worth the Wait by Synithia Williams

When a virgin frustrated by her non-existent dating life asks a playboy for a one-night stand, can they really ignore their attraction after the affair?

After Tasha Smith is dumped yet again because of her virginity, she decides it's time to stop saving herself for marriage and start dating like women in the 21st century. She sets out to find a man rumored to be good enough in bed to relieve her of the nuisance, but discreet enough to keep her request a secret.

Jared Patterson seems like the perfect candidate. Yet after one searing kiss, she wonders if she'll escape a night with him unscathed. Jared's job as a successful fitness instructor and entrepreneur has helped him keep a string of meaningless relationships from the East to the West Coast. After learning the hard way that women can't be trusted, he has no qualms going from one sex-only relationship to the next. Although Tasha is one of the few types of women he avoids — a good girl — the man in him can't turn down her tempting offer.

What starts out as a onetime thing quickly turns into an affair neither want to stop. But when an unexpected situation drastically alters their relationship, it leaves them both asking if it was Worth the Wait.
