| How to School Your Scoundrel: A Princess in Hiding Romance by Juliana GrayVictorian Romance. Disguised as Englishman "Lewis Markham," Crown Princess Luisa of Holstein-Schweinwald-Huhnof quickly discovers why her new employer, the Earl of Somerton, can't keep a personal secretary for longer than a month: he's an arrogant, ill-tempered tyrant.

As she settles into her new role, she falls for Somerton, who's less ruthless than he initially appears. Alas, revealing her secret to the Earl would mean death -- and dash any hopes she has of reclaiming the throne of her tiny European principality.

| The Saint: The Original Sinners, The White Years by Tiffany ReiszErotic Romance. This 5th novel in the Original Sinners series is actually a prequel to previous installments. Long before she became bestselling erotic fiction writer Nora Sutherlin, Eleanor Schreiber was a rebellious teenager from a broken home whose penchant for breaking rules led to her enrollment in a strict Catholic school, where she fell hard for gorgeous, motorcycle-riding Father "Søren" Stearns. Despite numerous obstacles -- a significant age gap, the fact that he's a priest -- Eleanor senses that Søren reciprocates her feelings, even if he can't and won't act on them. But when Eleanor makes a mistake that could ruin the rest of her life, Søren intervenes and offers his assistance -- provided that she can promise him total obedience. With its dramatic and unconventional blend of sexual intrigue, suspense, and BDSM, The Saint is not your average romance novel. Eleanor and Søren's turbulent relationship is further explored in The Siren and its sequels. |
