Diamond Fire by Ilona Andrews
Publisher: Avon Impulse (November 6, 2018)
Series: Hidden Legacy, 3.5
Genre: PNR/ UF


Nevada Frida Baylor and Connor Ander Rogan cordially invite you to join their wedding celebration. Summoning, weather manipulation, and other magical activities strictly forbidden.

Catalina Baylor is looking forward to wearing her maid of honor dress and watching her older sister walk down the aisle.  Then the wedding planner gets escorted off the premises, the bride’s priceless tiara disappears, and Rogan's extensive family overruns his mother’s home.  Someone is cheating, someone is lying, and someone is plotting murder.

To make this wedding happen, Catalina will have to do the thing she fears most: use her magic.  But she’s a Baylor and there’s nothing she wouldn't do for her sister's happiness.  Nevada will have her fairy tale wedding, even if Catalina has to tear the mansion apart brick by brick to get it done.

Steady by Anna Brooks
Publisher: Anna Brooks (July 23, 2017)
Series: Pleasant Valley, 3
Genre: Romantic Suspense


Saving her life is more important than continuing to wreck his.

***
Erik: Angels go to heaven and sinners go to hell. If it weren’t for me, they’d still be alive, so I’m going to burn. Until then, I pay for my mistakes and endure the pain. But when she crashes into my world, I get lost in her eyes and see a future I’d given up on looking back at me.

Polly: I learned the hard way how vindictive some men really can be. I’ve fought my whole life for stability and control, and I refuse to give them up ever again. But then I run into him in the most clichéd way possible. It shouldn’t have meant anything, but in his arms, I’ve felt safer than I ever have in my life.

***
This romantic suspense is the third in a series of standalones and contains sensitive topics and adult situations.

Their Perfect Melody by Priscilla Oliveras
Publisher: Zebra Shout (November 27, 2018)
Series: Matched to Perfection, 3
Genre: Contemporary Romance



With talent, heart, and ambition to spare, the Fernandez sisters have each followed their own unique path, even when it leads to surprising destinations—in life and love . . .

Growing up, Lilí María Fernandez was affectionately known as the family “wild child.” The life of the party, she loved to dance, especially salsa, merengue, and bachata, and often sang beside her father during rehearsals for his trío group. But tragedy and loss have drawn out Lilí’s caretaking side, compelling her to become a victim’s advocate. These days, the special rhythms of the past seem like a distant memory. Until she meets Diego Reyes . . .

A police officer with the Chicago PD, Diego also has a talent for playing classical Spanish guitar. And Lilí soon finds herself inspired by his passion—for the music, for her, and for their shared love of familia and community. Can Diego reignite Lilí’s fun-loving spirit, persuade her to balance work and pleasure—and embrace her wild side once more?

A Hope Divided by Alyssa Cole
Publisher: Kensington (November 28, 2017)
Series: The Loyal League, 2
Genre: Historical Romance


The Civil War has turned neighbor against neighbor--but for one scientist spy and her philosopher soldier, war could bind them together . . . 

For three years of the War Between the States, Marlie Lynch has helped the cause in peace: with coded letters about anti-Rebel uprisings in her Carolina woods, tisanes and poultices for Union prisoners, and silent aid to fleeing slave and Freeman alike. Her formerly enslaved mother's traditions and the name of a white father she never knew have protected her--until the vicious Confederate Home Guard claims Marlie's home for their new base of operations in the guerilla war against Southern resistors of the Rebel cause.

Unbeknowst to those under her roof, escaped prisoner Ewan McCall is sheltering in her laboratory. Seemingly a quiet philosopher, Ewan has his own history with the cruel captain of the Home Guard, and a thoughtful but unbending strength Marlie finds irresistible.

When the revelation of a stunning family secret places Marlie's freedom on the line, she and Ewan have to run for their lives into the hostile Carolina night. Following the path of the Underground Railroad, they find themselves caught up in a vicious battle that could dash their hopes of love--and freedom--before they ever cross state lines.
