Dare to Be a Duchess

He’s a powerful duke. She’s his uncle’s ward. They have forever been at war, until one night, one masquerade, and one kiss… Lara Ramsay is no stranger to scandal. As the orphaned daughter of a British colonel and his beloved Indian wife, whispers follow her everywhere. Not even the protection of the formidable Duke of Wolverton, a man she can’t stand, keeps the gossips at bay. The audacious Lara has driven Tristan Wentworth, The Duke of Wolverton, to distraction since the day his uncle took her in—and he’s quite certain doing so is her favorite pastime. After catching her and his younger sister at a salacious masquerade, he’s had enough scandal and issues a marriage ultimatum: find a husband within six months or one will be chosen for her.Unfortunately, no one in the ton appeals to her. Except, perhaps, the duke himself. The battle of wills has only just begun, and when Lara kisses him, their fate is sealed. Sometimes even the most proper duke needs to break the rules to win the heart of the woman he loves…

I Found You

My life was fine. Good even. I spent my days working in my garage and my weekends kicking back with my brothers, biological or chosen. Finding an infant abandoned on the side of the road while walking home from the bar was not in the plans.I may have taken the little thing home with me that first night, but I was drunk, and she was helpless and alone. I felt the need to look after her, to protect her, even after she was put into the system.Meeting the stunning, curvy woman who had become the caregiver was a welcome surprise. It made keeping an eye on the little girl so much easier. So easy, I was no longer sure if it was just the baby I was coming to see every day or if it was Maeve.Maeve was only supposed to be her caregiver while they straightened out next of kin, but the longer she was in that baby’s life, the longer she was going to have me in hers. I bonded instantly with the helpless little baby, but my bond with Maeve… that came out of nowhere. Did we have something real, or was our connection only temporary?

Finding Faith

?Mary’s sworn off ever having children. Can one very hot and very persistent single father change her mind??Two decades ago, Mary’s mom walked out. A few days later, her dad started drinking. He never stopped. Mary swore off alcohol. She also decided she’d never have kids, just in case she took after her parents.A year ago, Mary’s boyfriend dumped her because she didn’t want to have any children.Yesterday, for the first time in a year, Mary met someone. Someone hunky. Someone smart. Someone who made her goofy smile. Someone who sent a shiver up her spine.Tomorrow she’s going on a first date.She won’t find out he’s a widower with two kids for at least two more days. Can she overcome her fear and find the faith to trust someone else. . .and herself?Trade Reviews and Author Recommendations”With an opening line that is both assertive and striking, the book begins with a strong narrator who claims her own story. As Mary tells her past, she becomes vulnerable with those in her life and her readers.Baker’s dialogue has the capacity to reflect the diction of a thirty-year-old and a five-year-old, encompassing a wide range of perspectives. Amy’s and Chase’s imperfect sputters and continual deviance paint an authentic picture of children’s behavior.The Christmas setting nearly typecasts this book with all the novelistic qualities of a Hallmark movie. The honeyed beginning and equally passionate ending provide a childish delight that kindles the spirit of a hopeless romantic.Despite the complexities littered throughout this tale, Finding Faith reads like the honeymoon stage of a relationship. It’s filled with laughter, an idealized reality, and an endless craving for the story to continue. Luke’s and Mary’s love offers a temporary euphoria that shows romance is sometimes found where it is least expected.” Publisher’s Weekly”Finding Faith is a heartwarming and brilliant story about love, loss, and learning what you really want.” USA Today Bestselling author, Elana Johnson“A fun romance! I highly enjoyed it. Bridget knows how to tug at your heartstrings. A fantastic read!” NYT Bestselling Author, Victorine E. Lieske
