I Spy a Duke by Erica Monroe
SHE WANTS REVENGE
When bluestocking Vivian Loren becomes the governess for the wealthy Spencer family, she’s hunting for clues about the murder of her brother, not romance. But Vivian didn’t count on one thing: James Spencer, the intrepid Duke of Abermont, who has a tortured past of his own.
HE NEEDS A WIFE
As head of Britain’s elite intelligence agency, James can’t afford the scrutiny the Marriage Mart would bring to his family once the Season starts. After discovering Vivian’s quest for vengeance has made her a pawn in a treacherous plot of one of Napoleon’s most deadly spies, James realizes they can help each other. She’ll become his duchess, and he’ll keep her safe.
What begins as a marriage of convenience quickly becomes anything but as the enemy spy closes in on them. When both husband and wife have dark secrets, love may be the most dangerous mission of all.

A Reverie of Flames (The Fae Souls Book 3) by Cailee Francis
A Reverie of Flames is the new, spell-binding third installment of ‘The Fae Souls’ series.
Born again into the mortal world, I’d hoped to escape the war between light and dark fae. I wasn’t alone – Sorcha (my love) and Princess Saphira of the seelie (who we were sworn to protect) were with me. Rings gifted by Queen Carisse of the seelie ensured we were born in the same timeframe and we’d remain together. More than chance brought us to the city of Grayhaven. It was magic and destiny.
Sorcha had returned to my life the day she saved me from an unseelie attack; that was when my memories had come flooding back. Now I found myself regaining my awareness of who I was and discovering how serendipitous fate can be at bringing you to the right place at just the right time.
In the unique position of remembering our fae origins, Sorcha – now Angelica, a white witch who opposed unseelie interests in the city, and I had a lot to catch up on. As she brought me up to speed, I realised the depth of my feelings for her, and that I wanted to continue our romance into this, our next lifetime.
Princess Saphira was reborn as Ayla: my sister. Now an 18 year old student and budding witch, she was a prime target for the unseelie who sought to overthrow the seelie royal family. We had to protect her, and Angelica and I would do our best to ensure she stayed safe.
A Reverie of Flames is a romantic urban fantasy novella of just over 20,000 words, which contains strong steamy content and language.
