Life is not a bed of roses for Lexie Forbes. Abandoned both by her husband and her lover, she resigns herself to a quiet life with her two young children. Until one day, everything changes. Her husband dies suddenly, leaving both his fortune and children in the guardianship of his best friend, Philip Templeton.

Join Martha, who goes on an exchange program to the planet Ven and gets a whole lot more than she bargained for. Or Melinda, who travels to Krovatia as head of the Human diplomatic mission and falls in love with a sexy gray alien who just happens to be the high priest of that planet. Then go back in time to a prequel featuring Laijar, a sexy alien with strange telepathic powers, who crash lands his shuttle on a ranch in Colorado and unexpectedly finds his mate.

Isabella Stanton had determined from an early age that the fact of having been born female would not stand in the way of her doing what she desired. Having inherited a substantial estate from her grandfather, she insisted on taking an active role in managing her affairs, including the tenancy of Netherwick Hall, the magnificent mansion on her estate.

Recently widowed, Jane, Duchess of Coleford, has retreated to an estate in Cornwall with her young daughter. There she meets her formidable neighbour, Brook Reeves—a man with a permanent scowl and a stubborn streak to match her own. He wants her gone, making repeated offers to buy the crumbling house she inherited from her late husband. Jane refuses, determined to stay… and not admit how much she is drawn to him. But one day, Jane ventures uninvited into his domain and discovers secrets she must never reveal. There is only one solution: at Reeves Hall, she must remain—his captive duchess.

Two people meet one day in a coffee shop and bond over their love of cinnamon rolls. On paper they're nothing alike. Different backgrounds, different lifestyles, different life experiences. Yet they click... The odds are stacked against them. Can they overcome them to be together?

Melinda Garcia is starting over. As Earth Federation's newly appointed ambassador to Krovatia, she's finally putting her career first—and leaving behind the man she still loves. Wyatt has spent twenty years loving only one woman. But his fear of space travel cost him his marriage. Now Melinda is on another planet, and he'll do anything to win her back. Kirimor is Krovatia's most powerful priest, bound by ancient traditions and complicated obligations. But the moment he meets the Earth ambassador, everything changes. He wants Melinda—and he's willing to risk it all to claim her.

Martha has enrolled on a six-month exchange program to the planet Ven, whose people have recently made first contact with Earth. Newly single and broke, Martha looks forward to this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to find out more about the Venorians, an intriguing humanoid race of massive bronze-skinned people. As the son and heir of the Kran, planet Ven’s ruler, Krantor has four somars—men who are his lifelong bodyguards and companions. He loves them all dearly, but one of them, Prilor, he loves best of all.

I am on a mission to find out why the airships on Earth have stopped flying. My race, the Venorians, have been keeping an eye on this planet for centuries, but have yet to make contact with humans. Unfortunately, my descent to Earth does not go as planned.

Her carefree, happy life is disrupted when her family is summoned to the bedside of her grandfather, the dying Earl of Stanton, in England. There, circumstances force her into a marriage with the last person she ever thought to marry—Benedict Sedgwick, the newly appointed parish curate who wears threadbare clothes and blushes in the presence of women.

What are the odds that two people, from two separate universes should meet and fall in love? Will they overcome the odds to be together?

Life has not been kind to Charlotte Harding. Orphaned, impoverished and plain-looking, she depends on the charity of relatives who take her in when she has nowhere else to go. In their London home, she meets the rich and handsome Viscount Stanton who is promised to the beautiful heiress, Miss Powell. Charlotte is smitten with him on first sight, but the Viscount barely notices her except to note her unprepossessing looks and shabby dress.

Growing up in foster care taught me not to depend on anyone—but determination helped me build a life on my own terms. By day, I’m a registered nurse. By night, I write (and narrate) fantasy fiction. When I’m cast as the lead voice for a bestselling fantasy trilogy, it’s the opportunity of a lifetime… even if it means spending two weeks in LA, far outside my comfort zone.

Daniel Stanton has been blessed with everything. He is charming, confident and handsome—and heir to the great Stanton fortune. At age 24, he has had his fair share of amorous adventures with women, as well as one tantalising experience with a man, leaving him wondering about his sexual inclinations. Those questions are quickly answered when he first meets Ambrose Cranshaw, his grandfather's estate manager. He wants the man, and what he wants, he usually gets. Not this time though.

From an early age, Sarah Cranshaw has exhibited an unladylike interest in scientific pursuits. Whether it's memorising train timetables or stargazing on her telescope, such pursuits have earned her the nickname of bluestocking in her Oxfordshire village. But behind the eccentric demeanour she presents to the world, there lies a secret. For years, Sarah has been obsessed with the handsome but roguish Mr Templeton. She knows, of course, that she has little hope of earning his affection in return, but still she yearns for him.

Interconnected standalone steamy romances which feature star-crossed lovers who have to fight the odds in order to be together.

I’ve had the longest crush ever on Wilfred. He's my best friend’s older brother—but I’m not foolish enough to harbour any ambitions where he’s concerned. Wilfred is gorgeous, talented, and successful. He’s a big name movie producer and way out of my league. He treats me with casual friendliness, nothing more. Then something happens one day, and everything changes. Could it be that my crush also has a crush on me?
