Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of Historic Alexandria: A Guide to the Old City Those who know American History appreciate the position occupied by this historic city. Unfortunately the tourist is disappointed in a very natural expectation to see many points of general and lasting inter est, for such places have not even been marked. Alexandria has neg lected 'her greatest asset - her romantic past. Boston was her rival in C-ol-onia'l days, and Washington was scarcely a dream; but neither of those cities possessed the historic interest of this home town of George Washington. There is a great accumulation of fact and generally ac cepted tradition little known which has not been properly sifted or correlated, and this has been used for the first time, to satisfy the average tourist. Much has been ignored because only of local interest and unsuited to make Alexandria one of the real show places of America. Only out standing facts are given, which to a historian may have a scattered effect but it is to be remembered that there is no attempt at consecutive history of places of note. If her people will cherish the fact that much valuable history was forged here, a new sentiment will crystallize that will wrap her about in the veneration and esteem of every lover of liberty the world over. Alexandria was the stage on which was enacted the history of a continent and a nation, and the world's historic figures moved familiarly upon her streets.

Book excerpt: In a delightful follow-up to Written in the Stars, Alexandria Bellefleur delivers another queer rom-com about a hopeless romantic who vows to show his childhood crush that romance isn’t dead by recreating iconic dates from his favorite films... Brendon Lowell loves love. It’s why he created a dating app to help people find their one true pairing and why he’s convinced “the one” is out there, even if he hasn’t met her yet. Or... has he? When his sister's best friend turns up in Seattle unexpectedly, Brendon jumps at the chance to hang out with her. He’s crushed on Annie since they were kids, and the stars have finally aligned, putting them in the same city at the same time. Annie booked a spur-of-the-moment trip to Seattle to spend time with friends before moving across the globe. She’s not looking for love, especially with her best friend’s brother. Annie remembers Brendon as a sweet, dorky kid. Except, the 6-foot-4 man who shows up at her door is a certified Hot Nerd and Annie... wants him? Oh yes. Getting involved would be a terrible idea—her stay is temporary and he wants forever—but when Brendon learns Annie has given up on dating, he’s determined to prove that romance is real. Taking cues from his favorite rom-coms, Brendon plans to woo her with elaborate dates straight out of Nora Ephron’s playbook. The clock is ticking on Annie’s time in Seattle, and Brendon’s starting to realize romance isn’t just flowers and chocolate. But maybe real love doesn’t need to be as perfect as the movies... as long as you think your partner hung the moon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Revolution has cost Verity Sterrett nearly everything. Redcoats killed her father and burned her home. Verity is forced into living with her Loyalist uncle, who is determined to marry her off to a brutal British officer among those boarding with the family. And her beloved brother and his best friend Theo, the man Verity loves, are off fighting for independence. When one of the Redcoats brags of covert plans for an ambush, Verity sees her chance to aid her cause. It’s the first step in her role as a spy in Martha Washington’s spy ring. Major Theodore Kinnard volunteered to fight for his new nation with ideals of chivalry and honor. War has shattered those ideals. Gifted at sharpshooting, Theo has become General Washington’s best sniper. However, killing at a distance feels more like murder than honorable combat, and leaves Theo hesitant to admit his love for Verity lest he corrupt her innocence and goodness. As the war moves forward and Verity’s involvement grows, Theo does his best to shield her from its danger, and from himself. The battles rage on and Theo and Verity won’t stop fighting for independence. But when the danger mounts, if Verity can’t convince Theo to give their love a chance, their happiness and their freedom may become another casualty of the war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by Beauty and the Beast and the myth of Hades and Persephone, this lush and enchanting enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Scarlett St. Clair. Wren of Edgewood is no stranger to suffering. With her parents gone, it’s Wren’s responsibility to ensure she and her sister survive the harsh and endless winter, but if the legends are to be believed, their home may not be safe for much longer. For three hundred years, the land surrounding Edgewood has been encased in ice as the Shade, a magical barrier that protects the townsfolk from the Deadlands beyond, weakens. Only one thing can stop the Shade’s fall: the blood of a mortal woman bound in wedlock to the North Wind, a dangerous immortal whose heart is said to be as frigid as the land he rules. And the time has come to choose his bride. When the North Wind sets his eyes on Wren’s sister, Wren will do anything to save her—even if it means sacrificing herself in the process. But mortal or not, Wren won’t go down without a fight… The North Wind is a stand-alone, enemies-to-lovers slow-burn fantasy romance, the first in a series sprinkled with Greek mythology.
