“Theresa Romain’s stories [are] full of lovely prose and endearing characters who readers can take to their hearts.”—RT Book Reviews In true Regency style, four spirited women find their way to their heart’s deepest desires amidst the glitter and whirl of the Christmas season . . . First there is Julia Herington, impetuous—and irresistible. Brilliant but shy, Louisa Oliver seems destined for spinsterhood until she finds herself the subject of a scandalous bet—and turns it to romantic advantage. And then there is Jane Tindall, a talent for deception her greatest treasure. Her daring taste for gambling draws her into a marriage of convenience that just might lead to love. Lady Audrina Bradleigh is expected to lead fashion and behave with propriety. But as she discovers on the wintry roads of Yorkshire, she is heedless of society’s proper rules when it comes to her heart’s desires. And only one season can twist all their strands of fate into a perfect gift to last a lifetime . . .

Dear Reader, Long before I wrote my sexy paranormal romances, I wrote traditional Regency romances as Debbie Raleigh. Now I’m thrilled that three of my favorites are available once more. As fresh and filled with adventure as ever, this trilogy features the indomitable Creswell sisters, known throughout London as the Devil’s Daughters—and rejected by the ton because of it. But like their charming rascal of a father, the Devilish Dandy, nothing can crush their spirits—or stand in the way of their hearts’ desires... THE CHRISTMAS WISH Sarah Cresswell leads a peaceful life—until she’s asked to help a handsome nobleman unearth a thief. Soon the unlikely duo is navigating London’s seamy side—and an undeniable attraction. But it’s a love that can never be, unless intervention comes from a most unexpected source... THE VALENTINE WISH Emma Cresswell has escaped gossip-plagued London to start anew as a lady’s companion. She does not expect to contend with her employer’s reckless nephew. But Cedric, Lord of Hartshore, senses that beneath Emma’s conservative veneer is a heart as passionate as his own—and he’s determined to win it... THE WEDDING WISH On a lark, flirtatious Rachel Cresswell plots to seduce the man intended for her sheltered young cousin, Julia. Her success is no surprise, but she’s shocked to fall in love with her unwitting conquest—and strike up a friendship with Julia. Now Rachel is determined to keep her scheming secret from them both. But has she lost her taste for mischief in time to gain what means most to her? I’ve fallen for these timeless tales all over again, and believe that you will too. Alexandra Ivy

These three full-length vampire romance novels contain plenty of sexy steam, and all end with happy endings and no cliffhangers. * Bad Boy Vampire Tattoos. Rude. Cocky. Arrogant. Drop-dead gorgeous. Oh… and fangs…? Kathleen didn’t know what to expect when she met famous nightclub owner Piotr. She of him only by reputation… He was a bad boy. A player. A womanizer. A man unusually assertive… with a dominating personality. She suspected there was something more to him… something darker. But nothing could have prepared her for the truth… For when he claimed her… Made her his… Made her sweat… Made her scream… Sunk his fangs deep into her neck… * Vampire’s Baby Shantal King was no stranger to bad luck… and bad men. She’d seen more than her fair share’s worth, and it was an effort not to feel jaded day in and day out. Cue Vincenzo Titus, a man promising to shatter every of her preconceptions. He was gorgeous in a dark way, and she knew beneath that tight body and endless eyes there was a danger to him, something she couldn’t put her finger on. Of course, promises almost never deliver. After a night of blood-hot bliss, she found herself alone. They were all the same! Little did Shantal know that she was carrying Vincenzo’s baby. Little did Shantal know that Vincenzo was no ordinary man… no, he was a creature not of this mortal world… And this sexy man would re-enter her life demanding to know just one thing… …Where was his blood-heir? * Bite of a Vampire When Colleen Bistly got the job working for mysterious CEO Mikael Andreas, she knew she had to be ready for anything. These corporate types, powerful men in charge of powerful companies, were very demanding, and Mikael Andeas in particular had a reputation for accepting only excellence. But Colleen was up to the task. She was eager, enthusiastic, and best of all, she knew she was capable. She would do any job asked for her, and she would do it well. The enigmatic Mikael is every bit the personality she expected. Alpha, dominating, demanding. But what she didn’t expect was to find that he was a gorgeous man with a body that made her draw breath. If it weren’t for the shroud of secrecy that obscured him from the public eye, he’d be the country’s most eligible bachelor. But there’s something else to Mikael that attracts Colleen, something more. Something dangerous. He’s not just an Alpha billionaire who needs a good employee. No, she’s more to him than that. The last thing she ever expected was to learn that Mikael was a vampire, and that she’d be serving his every whim both inside and outside the workplace… * Authors note: This bundle also contains an additional bonus extra vampire novel, “The Hunt”.

ISBN: 1448146828

Desperate circumstances were something Evelyn Prentis had to get very used to when she began her life as a nurse. It was in 1934 that Evelyn left home for the first time to enrol as a trainee at a busy Nottingham hospital in the hope of £25 a year. A Nurse in Time is Evelyn's affectionate and funny account of those days of dedication and hardship, when never-ending nightshifts, strict Sisters and permanent hunger ruled life, and joy was to be found in a late-night pass and a packet of Woodbines. The second memoir in this collection is A Nurse in Action. Surprising Matron as well as herself, Evelyn Prentis managed to pass her Finals and become a staff-nurse. Encouraged, she took the brave leap of moving from Nottingham to London - brave not least because war was about to break. Not only did the nurses have to cope with stray bombs and influxes of patients from as far away Dunkirk, but there were also RAF men stationed nearby - which caused considerable entertainment and disappointment, and a good number of marriages ... But despite all the disruption to the hospital routine, Evelyn's warm and compelling account of a nurse in action, shows a nurse's life would always revolve around the comforting discomfort of porridge and rissoles, bandages and bedpans.
