His long-held ambition to take over the family’s shipping business is about to become a reality. All he needs to ensure his success is to secure the lease on the empty building next door.

And while her white-haired devil of a neighbor makes it clear he wants her gone; Poppy is quietly determined to stand her ground. His weapons of choice are money and an arrogant temper.

Book Description
Finding Love Through Grit and Grace… Samantha “Sammie” Abel, formerly of the Buckin’ Babes reality TV show, always wanted to be known for more than her beauty. The new Grit and Grace Rodeo Roughstock Company, founded with her friends, is her opportunity to prove she can compete in a male-dominated world. She just needs to secure their first rodeo contract. Nothing stops her—not an oops pregnancy, sexist demands or the unexpected arrival of her baby daddy intent on winning the same bid. Professional bull rider Alec Neisson knows he can’t compete forever. The youngest in his wealthy ranching family, he’s always been determined to step up and prove he can run the family’s lucrative bucking bull program. As a favor to his grandfather, he heads to Last Stand, Texas to prove he has what it takes, never dreaming his family business opportunity will pit him against the woman he’s tried but failed to forget. Only one can win, but when Alec discovers Sammie’s news, more than his career is at stake, but he needs to woo Sammie and gain her trust.

Book Description
Humorous and heart-warming tales of English rural life centred on a traditional firm of country solicitors, perfect for fans of Rumpole of the Bailey and James Herriot. Dufty Dufty Popple & Dunn is a traditional solicitors firm in the small Midlands town of Hockam (pronounced Hokum, as the local residents are at pains to point out). This heart-warming collection of stories revolves around the lives, relationships, triumphs and failures of the good people of Hockam and of the lawyers to whom they look for help. We meet the lonely dentist and his noisy neighbours, the TV celebrity chef and his complex family, the policeman and his beloved budgies, the Vicar and the Major General, the greedy beneficiary of an uncle's will. These and many others bring their problems to Dufty Dufty Popple & Dunn to be resolved by the long-suffering and well-meaning members of the firm, all of whom have their own lives to live when time permits, from Bernard, the hapless trainee, to Hugo Dufty, the nominal senior partner. And then, of course, there are the ever-present rumours concerning Robert Popple, the former partner who departed from the firm some years previously in mysterious circumstances. The whole symphony of life portrayed here is conducted with gentle humour and charm by Hugo's father, Charles Dufty, who founded the firm 50 years ago and whose wisdom and deep understanding of the human condition help to make sense of even the most difficult and apparently insoluble problems. In this humorous and touching debut collection, Alan Hammond paints a timeless portrait of life in a rural English town. Welcome to Hockam.

Book Description
Bridgerton meets Agatha Christie in this dazzling next installment in a captivating Regency-era mystery series with a feminist spin. 21 June, 1815. London may be cheering the news of Napoleon’s surrender at Waterloo, but Lady Petra Forsyth has little to celebrate after discovering that the death of her viscount fiancé three years earlier was no accident. Instead, it was murder, and the man responsible is her handsome, half-Scottish secret paramour Duncan Shawcross—yet the scoundrel has disappeared, leaving only a confusing riddle about long-forgotten memories in his wake. So what’s a lady to do when she can’t hunt down her traitorous lover? She concentrates on a royal assignment instead. Queen Charlotte has tasked Petra with attending an event at the Asylum for Female Orphans and making inquiries surrounding the death of the orphanage’s matron. What’s more, there may be a link between the matron’s death and a group of radicals with ties to the aristocracy, as evidenced by an intercepted letter. Then, Petra overhears a nefarious conversation with two other men about a plot to topple the monarchy, set to take place during three days of celebrations currently gripping London. As the clock counts down and London’s streets teem with revelers, Petra’s nerves are fraying as her past and present collide. Yet while all’s fair in love and war, she can never surrender, especially when more orphaned girls may be in trouble. And to save their lives, the monarchy itself, and even her own heart, Lady Petra must face her fears with the strength of an army of soldiers and fight with the heart of a queen.
