The Oldest Thing I Ever Touched
What if the oldest thing you ever touched touched you back? When Iris Calder, freshly graduated, broke, and spectacularly unimpressed with adulthood, lets her best friend drag her on a ziplining tour through the redwoods, the last thing she expects is... a conversation. With a tree. Not just any tree - Thalen, a thousand-year-old spirit who's on the verge of becoming something more. He's ancient, ethereal, and, inconveniently, gorgeous. He also blurts out phrases that sound like Shakespeare got stuck in a forest for a millennium. Iris should laugh it off. She should keep job-hunting, keep paying down her student loans, keep pretending she's fine. Instead, she keeps going back - first for answers, then for him. What starts as sarcasm and disbelief twists into a bond that blurs the line between human and something else entirely.

Courtesan of War
A 19th century London courtesan agrees to a phony courtship with a navy captain and finds herself negotiating uncharted territory outside the boudoir. ***** The year is eighteen-thirteen. The place is London. Mistress Rosalind Hayes is a courtesan, raised in an orphan asylum and later tutored by one of the most respected courtesans of the time. Now, Rose caters to the whims of lusty nobles and businessmen, and she is determined to maintain her sovereignty. When Rose meets the Thompson siblings; Jules, a navy captain, and Alice, his spirited younger sister, the trio form an easy kinship. Rose learns they have recently lost their mother to smallpox, and she is persuaded by the siblings to pose as Jules's love interest in an attempt to bring their grief-stricken father out of a terrible depression. As luck would have it, Rose's genial manner helps to free the older man from his melancholy, but she also begins to feel things for the captain that threaten to topple her empire.
