HIGHEST RANKING #1 in historical fiction. Rosalyn is living her life. She's reckless, stubborn, unladylike and all the other things a Lady isn't supposed to be. In short, she's the bane of her brother, the Earl of Morley's existence. Theo is more than satisfied with life. Women fawn over him, he's rich and he isn't aimless like most of the gentlemen of his acquaintance. He loves horses and so does she. He needs to marry and so does she. But do they want to marry each other? Not so much. Read more to find out what happens when a consummate rake-Lord Theodore Fortescue and an adventurous hoyden-Lady Rosalyn Orford find themselves entangled in a not so ordinary friendship topped off with an inconvenient attraction towards each other. Will they find love or will their circumstances tear them apart? If you're goofy, unladylike and reckless, I'm sure you will be able to relate to Rosalyn :D Cover by @00Athena00

Born into slavery, Lena Wells escapes in search of freedom-but instead finds a Union camp overflowing with runaways, soldiers, and the man whose gaze she can't seem to forget. What begins as stolen glances soon becomes forbidden touches and passionate, secret kisses. But war has a way of claiming everything, and when Julian is called back to his regiment, Lena is forced to let him go. Four years later, Lena has built a fragile new life in Philadelphia-a seamstress by day and a devoted mother by night, determined to protect the child who carries the face of the man she lost. Julian Dennis, wounded and discharged, is living in the same city rebuilding a life that no longer feels like his own. When a chance assignment brings Lena into his home that he shares with his mother-who has hired her to sew a few dresses-the past collides violently with the present. One look at Lena's little girl sends Julian spiraling. She looks like him. She acts like him. And the timing is undeniable. Yet Lena insists the child isn't his. Now Julian is torn between hope and heartache, while Lena clings to the truth she's carried alone for years. As long-buried emotions resurface and new wounds open, both must confront not only the ghosts of the war, but the powerful forces of society, race, loyalty, and love that threaten to keep them apart. Because sometimes the war doesn't end on the battlefield- Sometimes it finds you again, exactly where you're trying to start over.
