Summary
Lowering his lips to her ear, the soft cadence of his voice made Chrissy shiver. Entirely involuntary. And his chuckle moreso, as though he knew precisely his affect on her.
“If you were content with this prospective future,” Captain Munson whispered, “you wouldn’t have found yourself in a ne’er do well pub the eve before you said your vows.”

Summary
Eddie cannot tell you why, except that sometimes his body makes a choice before his brain has caught up. He is at the third teller window before he has even examined the move, and then he looks up and sees her.
He gets a handful of seconds where she does not know she is being watched.
Something in him goes tight.
Not the clean, useful kind of attention he brings into rooms. Not the quiet click of recognition he has learned to trust. This is different. This is his mind, uninvited, throwing a rope around her and yanking.
Her in a white dress in low light, simple and close, small crowd, his hand finding hers like it has always known where to go.
Her laughter against his throat in the dark.
A kitchen table. Two mugs. Her bare feet hooked around his ankle under the chair.
Her asleep against his side, his arm heavy over her ribs like a promise.
Then it is gone.
Less than a second. No time at all. He is still standing in Hawkins First National at 9:47 a.m. on a Wednesday in October, and she still has not looked up.

Summary
As she rounds the corner, she can’t ignore the pang in her stomach any longer. There’s so much to do. Her mind is in a million different places already, and she had walked out of her home with her travel mug of tea sitting just where she had prepared it. Tapping her phone against her palm, she peers around the street. She swears she had spied a coffee shop during a meeting with one of the contractors.
The ornate sign of Hellfire Coffee comes into view, and Chrissy breathes a sigh of relief. It’s nearly catty-corner to her shop. With a quick check for traffic, she jogs across the street and into the cafe. The aroma of coffee and pastries is thick in the air, and her stomach rolls again.

Summary
Christina Cunningham has grown up living in the shadow of her parents’ social ambitions and financial interests. Lord Edward Munson, a reserved and austere man, bears the weight of the debts his father left behind.
When an unexpected discovery threatens to alter Christina’s future forever, a daring proposal emerges—one that could secure her fate and offer salvation to Lord Edward: a marriage of convenience.
Bound by a pact forged out of necessity, they must face not only the expectations of society, but also the lingering shadows of the past. What begins as an agreement may become something far more dangerous—and far more powerful. Will love find its way between them, or will old secrets and unhealed wounds tear them apart?
