From Duke Till Dawn: The London Underground by Eva Leigh

A 2017 RT Reviewers’ Choice Award Nominee for Best British Isles-set Romance!

Eva Leigh launches a seductive new series that sizzles with the dark secrets of London’s underworld…

Years ago, the Duke of Greyland gave his heart—and a princely sum of money—to a charming, destitute widow with unparalleled beauty. But after one passionate night, she slipped from his bed and vanished without a trace. And just when he’s given up hope of ever seeing her again, Greyland finds her managing a gaming hell. He’s desperate to have her… until he discovers everything about his long-lost lover was a lie.

In truth, Cassandra Blake grew up on the streets, picking pockets to survive. Greyland was a mark—to be fleeced and forgotten—but her feelings for the duke became all too real. Once he learns of her deception, however, the heat in his eyes turns to ice. When her business partner absconds with the gaming hell proceeds—leaving unsavory investors out for blood—Cassandra must beg the man she betrayed for help.

Greyland wants compensation, too, and he’ll assist her under one condition: she doesn’t leave his sight until her debts are paid. But it’s not long before the real Cassandra—the smart, streetwise criminal—is stealing his heart all over again. 

He’s Not My Boyfriend (Chin-Williams Book 2) by Jackie Lau

Now that her cousin has tied the knot, Iris Chin—structural engineer, party girl, and queen of kitchen disasters—is the last single grandchild. Her mother and grandmother are desperate to play matchmaker, though Iris doesn’t understand why. They had miserable marriages, and she doesn’t want to be like them. She enjoys her independence, thank you very much. One-night stands are more her style.

Unfortunately, she soon discovers that she’s working on a project with her latest one-night stand, Alex Kwong, a construction supervisor. She’s determined to stay professional on the construction site, but things get off to a bad start when Alex lets slip to a co-worker that they slept together.

To make matters worse, Iris is now living with her grandmother, who keeps stealthily setting her up on dates and sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong, and her mother is just as bad. But more than anything, it’s her unwanted feelings for Alex that are derailing her plans to have an exciting single life…

Under Her Skin (Blank Canvas Book 1) by Adriana Anders

This gentle giant’s scarred hands may be the warmest touch she’ll ever know.
…if only life were a fairy tale where Beauty got to keep her Beast

Ivan thought the world was through giving him second chances.

Hell, who was he kidding—he wasn’t good enough for them anyway. And he certainly wasn’t good enough for her.

But the moment Uma walked into his life, Ivan knew he had to put all that crap aside and do everything he could to help. She was like nothing he’d ever known. Beautiful, lost, alone, she had the kind of sad eyes that were just begging for someone to save her…

…and despite his rough exterior, despite the nasty rumors, despite all the bad decisions following him around like the strays he couldn’t help but rescue, Ivan was nothing but willing to be the kind of man she needed.

Yeah, he’d thought the world was through giving him second chances.
Until she came into his life. Until she changed everything.
Until he realized he would do anything, fight anyone, tear the world apart if it only meant saving her.

This emotional tale of survival contains strong themes of past domestic/sexual abuse. Please see reviews for details.

Blank Canvas series:
Under Her Skin (Book 1)
By Her Touch (Book 2)
In His Hands (Book 3)

    I loved, loved, loved, Jackie Lau’s “He’s Not My Boyfriend”. I’m a Chinese-American female engineer and I really related to the characters. My personality is very different from the heroine’s but I felt the story line about her work and her family were spot on. Both main characters’ families felt like family or friends of mine. Lau does a good job of describing the day-to-day lives of the characters so it feels familiar to Chinese North Americans but would still be accessible to people less familiar with Chinese culture. And the heroine’s grandmother was hilarious!! Totally the character. Her back story was very well done, and also a good peek into Chinese history and the Chinese diaspora. At 99 cents it’s a steal and I think it was very well done romance.
