Sian Ann Bessey did a great job of throwing the reader into the late 18th century in The Noble Smuggler. A young innkeeper's daughter gets into more trouble than she bargained for when she helps an injured smuggler and has to decide whether to turn him in to the authorities or keep his secrets to herself.
3. Dual Devotions:

4. Pride and Perjury: Twelve Short Stories inspired by Pride and Prejudice
These twelve witty stories help you fill in the gaps of what happens to the famous Bennet sisters and their beaus. Pride and Perjury by Alice McVeigh will keep you wanting more.
5. Blackmoore
Kate wants nothing more than to go to India, but her stubborn mother will only consent if she rejects three marriage proposals. Will one of the proposals win her over or will she be set free from her insufferable family after all? Find out for yourself in Julianne Donaldson's Blackmoore.
