If I Told You, I’d Have to Kiss You is a spy romance by Mae Marvel in which two former girlfriends discover they’ve secretly been working for the same intelligence agency and must race across Europe, untangle years of lies, and risk their hearts to save both the mission and their chance at real love.
Saving the Scot is a historical romance from Jennifer Rupp in which a rebellious would-be actress swaps places with her maid to escape an arranged marriage, only to fall for the infuriatingly honorable Highlander tasked with escorting her across the Atlantic.
Lazarus, Home From The War from E.H. Lupton, follows Lazarus Lenkov who's been a civilian for almost two months. After getting hit over the head with a bottle he meets a cute neurologist, Eli Sobel. Eli can't help but get drawn into the investigation surrounding the attack he stitched the man up from—despite there being bad magic afoot.
