A Misguided Lord

About A Misguided Lord

It is time for Clayton Trent, Earl of Bentley, to take a bride and he knew the type of lady he wanted to make his countess—one who would fit into his orderly and scandal free life. Everything was exactly as it should be until Miss Eleanor Westin careens into him, upsetting the perfect balance of his world. She is everything his father said he should not marry. Yet, Clayton cannot put her from his mind, not even when a decade old scandal threatens the very foundation of his family.

Miss Eleanor Westin has spent her life in the country on the brink of poverty and raising her siblings after the death of her parents until her grandfather finally decides to do his duty and brings her to London. Eleanor simply wants to find a gentleman who is willing to take on her family in the bargain. Love is not even a consideration if she can land security. Unfortunately, the only gentleman who she’d encountered was Lord Bentley, and he will never do. If only he would stay out of her dreams so she could forget him and his intoxicating kisses.

A MISGUIDED LORD is available for only $0.99 from January 10-14, 2025 and the second book in the Tenacious Trents ten book series, though each book can be read as a stand alone.

Frosted Felony by Tammy Beck

About Frosted Felony by Tammy Beck

In the quaint town of Harmony Bay, the new year heralds a frosty adventure for Francis Desmarais, Harmony Bay’s beloved baker with a flair for solving mysteries. As Francis unveils her “Winter Wonderland” baking class to bring warmth to the chilly season, an unexpected winter storm sweeps through, blanketing the town in snow and secrets.
Amid the icy chaos, a shocking discovery sends shivers down the spines of Harmony Bay’s residents: a renowned local ice sculptor, known for his frosty creations, is found dead, entombed in his own icy masterpiece.

With the storm trapping everyone in a snowy embrace, Francis, aided by Isaac Fulton, her enigmatic ally, finds herself sifting through a blizzard of clues. The deeper they dig, the more they uncover hidden layers of deception, frostbitten grudges, and a cold truth that has lurked beneath the town’s serene surface.

As the winter storm intensifies, so does the danger. Francis must use her culinary expertise and newly honed detective skills to unravel this icy enigma. Each clue brings her closer to a killer who is as ruthless as the storm raging outside. With time running out and the threat of another icy casualty looming, Francis and Isaac race against the clock.

Can Francis expose the cold-hearted culprit before the winter storm claims another victim? Or will this mystery, like the relentless snowfall, prove too overwhelming to uncover? The stakes are higher, the clues are frostier, and the danger is as real as the bitter winter wind. Welcome back to Harmony Bay, where the mysteries are as intricate as the pastries, and a chilling revelation is always just a snowflake away.
