Appointment in Bath by Mimi Matthews

Appointment in Bath

HaBO: She Hacks into His Company

This HaBO comes from Jessica, who is looking for this romance: I’m looking for a romance where the heroine hacks into the hero’s company just because she can and he’s looking for who did it.

Marry Me By Midnight by Felicia Grossman

Marry Me By Midnight

Isabelle is young, still grieving, … Continue reading Marry Me By Midnight by Felicia Grossman
