Secondhand Romance Fiction Bargain Book Box SP2920

From the meticulous emotional intelligence of Mary Balogh to the dark romanticism of Elizabeth Hoyt, this box spans the full range of what historical romance can do. Twenty-one novels where the obstacles are as satisfying as the resolutions.

1. The Secret Pearl — Mary Balogh — A woman reduced to desperate circumstances takes a position as governess, and the man who once knew her in very different circumstances is now her employer; Balogh handles the impossible with exquisite grace.
2. The Shadow and the Star — Laura Kinsale — A Victorian gentleman with a hidden past forged in Japan and the penniless seamstress who sees through every careful barrier he has built; deeply original and one of the genre's most genuinely unforgettable novels.
3. The Price of Pleasure — Kresley Cole — A sea captain rescues a woman who has spent years marooned in paradise and must now navigate the treacherous waters of society — and his own heart. Bracingly original.
4. What I Did for Love — Susan Elizabeth Phillips — A fallen TV star and Hollywood's most infuriating leading man wake up married in Las Vegas, and what starts as damage control becomes something neither of them bargained for. A #1 New York Times bestseller.
5. If You Deceive — Kresley Cole — A ruthless Highlander is hunted by the woman whose life he once destroyed, and the revenge she has planned for years dissolves into something far more dangerous; the MacCarrick Brothers trilogy at its most intense.
6. Just Imagine — Susan Elizabeth Phillips — A determined Southern woman journeys north after the Civil War seeking justice, and the battle-hardened man who stands in her way is simply not prepared for the fight she brings. Vintage Phillips.
7. Fancy Pants — Susan Elizabeth Phillips — A spoiled English socialite stranded penniless on a Texas golf ranch discovers that respect here must be earned, not assumed; fizzing, funny, and utterly irresistible.
8. Night Fire — Catherine Coulter — A bride arrives at her new husband's estate carrying wounds she can't yet name, and he must earn her trust before love is possible; Coulter at her most emotionally layered.
9. Dreams of a Dark Warrior — Kresley Cole — She's a valkyrie; he's the ruthless soldier who hunts her kind; and across lifetimes of death and rebirth, the connection between them refuses to die. The Immortals After Dark series at its most epic.
10. The Offer — Catherine Coulter — A young woman on the verge of a terrible fate is given another option by a man who expects nothing in return — and finds he cannot hold to that bargain. Classic Coulter.
11. The Deception — Catherine Coulter — A woman determined to unmask the man she believes responsible for her brother's death finds that certainty and attraction are both considerably more complicated than she planned.
12. To Desire a Devil — Elizabeth Hoyt — A man believed dead for seven years returns from captivity, barely civilised, to reclaim everything taken from him — including, unexpectedly, the woman living in his house who has no intention of leaving. The Legend of the Four Soldiers reaches its breathtaking conclusion.
13. Notorious Pleasures — Elizabeth Hoyt — The most scandalous man in London is in love with his brother's fiancée, and the Maiden Lane series' second chapter is every bit as dark, witty, and compulsive as the first.
14. The Serpent Prince — Elizabeth Hoyt — A mysterious man recuperating in a country vicar's house and the practical, unsentimental daughter who refuses to be enchanted — until she is. Gloriously romantic.
15. Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage — Jennifer Ashley — Three years apart, and Mac Mackenzie is just as impossible as ever — and just as impossible to stop loving; the Mackenzies series at its most emotionally gripping.
16. A Tiger Prince — Iris Johansen — Everything Johansen does best: a dangerous hero, a spirited heroine, and the sense that the world is vast and the stakes are very real.
17. One Night for Love — Mary Balogh — A soldier's secret wife returns from the dead just as he is about to marry another woman, and the truth forces every character to reckon with love, duty, and sacrifice. Balogh at her most achingly beautiful.
18. When He Was Wicked — Julia Quinn — The darkest Bridgerton novel: a man who has loved a woman from a distance for years finally gets his chance under the most heartbreaking circumstances. Quinn proves she can do far more than sparkle.
19. Wicked Intentions — Elizabeth Hoyt — A nobleman with very dark tastes prowls the midnight streets of St. Giles, and the sensible woman who runs the foundling home should know better than to bargain with him. She doesn't. The Maiden Lane series begins here.
20. Dark Rider — Iris Johansen — A woman who has never been free and the dangerous man who might just be the one to liberate her; sweeping and intense in exactly the way Johansen delivers.
21. The Wind Dancer — Iris Johansen — Renaissance Italy, a legendary golden statue, and a slave girl who holds the key to everything a powerful man wants — except possibly his heart. The beginning of Johansen's most celebrated trilogy, and the kind of opening that explains why readers follow an author for decades.
