Secondhand Mills & Boon Modern Romance Bargain Book Box SP2720

Secondhand Mills & Boon Modern Romance Bargain Book Box — 21 Books

Twenty-one titles from Mills & Boon's Modern line — the category that perfected the art of the intense, glamorous, emotionally charged romance. Billionaires, royals, Sicilian secrets, forbidden offices, snowbound encounters, and wedding-day revelations: all the hallmarks of the Modern at its most compulsively readable, from some of the line's most trusted names. Five of the twenty-one authors are Australian or New Zealand writers, a reminder of how strongly the Antipodes has shaped this thoroughly international genre.

1. Heidi Rice — Queen's Winter Wedding Charade A fake royal wedding in a winter wonderland setting — Rice's talent for crackling tension and emotional depth makes even the most elaborate charade feel utterly convincing.
2. Dani Collins — His Highness's Hidden Heir A secret child, a prince who doesn't know he's a father, and the reckoning that follows when the truth can no longer be contained. Collins at her most dramatically satisfying.
3. Louise Fuller — Boss's Plus-One Demand The workplace power dynamic taken to its most delicious extreme — a boss who needs a date and an employee who needs something from him in return. Fuller writes the battle of wills with particular flair.
4. Kate Hewitt — Spaniard's Waitress Wife A proud Spanish hero, a woman whose circumstances have brought her far below the life she deserves, and a marriage that begins as a transaction and becomes something neither bargained for. Hewitt's emotional intelligence is on full display.
5. Maisey Yates — Pregnant Enemy, Christmas Bride Two rivals, an unexpected pregnancy, and Christmas as both backdrop and pressure cooker. Yates — one of the most popular names in Modern romance — delivers maximum emotional heat with her trademark wit.
6. Trish Morey — After-Hours Proposal (Australian Author) A proposal that arrives after hours, when professional armour has come off and the real people beneath are visible. Morey is one of Australia's most successful Modern romance authors and this is prime territory for her.
7. Julia James — Vows of Revenge A man who has sworn revenge and a woman who has no idea she's the instrument of it — James builds the moral and emotional complexity of this setup with the confidence of a writer who has the genre completely mastered.
8. Caitlin Crews — Carrying a Sicilian Secret Sicily, secrets, and all the sun-drenched intensity that setting promises — Crews's Sicilian heroes are a particular speciality, and this secret-pregnancy story delivers everything the title suggests.
9. Tara Pammi — Her Twin Secret Twins as the revelation that changes everything — Pammi consistently brings a richness of characterisation to her Modern romances that sets them apart from the genre average.
10. Carol Marinelli — She Will Be Queen (Australian Author) Marinelli is one of the Modern line's most beloved authors, and a royal romance gives her full scope for the glamour and emotional depth she does better than almost anyone writing in the category.
11. Lela May Wight — Italian Wife Wanted A wanted wife, an Italian hero with non-negotiable requirements, and a woman who may be exactly what he needs but nothing like what he expected. The Italian Modern romance tradition at its most enticing.
12. Dani Collins — Maid to Marry Collins's second appearance — a maid who becomes something far more, a hero who must reckon with his own assumptions, and the kind of social reversal that makes the Modern category endlessly satisfying.
13. Abby Green — On His Bride's Terms The negotiated marriage where the terms are the battleground — Green writes the power play between equals with a sharp eye for the moment when strategy gives way to something neither party planned.
14. Clare Connelly — Unwanted Royal Wife (Australian Author) An unwanted royal marriage that becomes very much wanted indeed — Connelly is one of the most prolific and popular of the Australian Modern authors, and royal romance is her sweetest spot.
15. Cathy Williams — Snowbound Then Pregnant Snowbound proximity plus unexpected pregnancy equals maximum romantic complication — Williams has written this kind of high-stakes forced-togetherness story dozens of times and never loses her touch.
16. Tara Pammi — Contractually Wed Pammi's second appearance — a contractual marriage with real emotions developing in defiance of the paperwork. The marriage-of-convenience trope as only a writer of Pammi's emotional sophistication can deliver it.
17. Kim Lawrence — Engaged in Deception A fake engagement with very real feelings developing underneath the performance — Lawrence has been writing this particular dance for decades and brings an authority and elegance to it that newer writers still aspire to.
18. Bella Mason — Strictly Forbidden Boss (Australian Author) The forbidden workplace romance — the strictest of the Modern line's rules being broken with increasing enthusiasm by both parties. Mason is an exciting newer voice in Australian romance fiction.
19. Emmy Grayson — The Deception at the Altar A wedding-day secret about to be exposed, a groom who may or may not be what he seems, and the moment when a ceremony built on deception might just become something true. High drama at the altar.
20. Jackie Ashenden — The Twins That Bind (New Zealand Author) Ashenden — one of New Zealand's most successful romance exports — brings twins as the revelation that binds two people together whether they planned it or not. Characteristically intense and emotionally generous.
21. Julia James — Accidental One-Night Baby James's second appearance in the box — the accidental pregnancy from a one-night encounter, handled with the sophistication and emotional depth that has made her one of the Modern line's most consistently satisfying authors.
