Secondhand Romance & Women's Fiction Bargain Book Box SP2714

Secondhand Romance & Women's Fiction Bargain Book Box — 18 Books

A well-stocked romance collection mixing standalone women's fiction with Mills & Boon Modern titles, plus three multi-story anthologies for exceptional value. Anne Glenconner — Lady in Waiting to Queen Elizabeth II and author of the bestselling memoir — brings her aristocratic world to historical fiction; Mhairi McFarlane delivers the sharp romantic comedy she's become known for; and Kerry McGinnis' The Waddi Tree offers Australian outback romance at its most moving. Three of the eighteen volumes contain multiple stories (noted below).

1. A Haunting at Holkham — Anne Glenconner. From the bestselling author of Lady in Waiting, Glenconner brings her intimate knowledge of the English aristocracy to a historical mystery set in the grand houses of Norfolk. The Daily Mail praised it for combining "high-octane charm with redoubtable heroines skills" — atmospheric, witty, and irresistible for lovers of country house fiction.
2. The Secrets of Rosa Lee — Jodi Thomas. New York Times bestselling Thomas has built her reputation on warm, richly drawn stories of community and connection in small-town America, and The Secrets of Rosa Lee — centred on a house and the secrets unlocked when strangers are brought together — is one of her most satisfying.
3. Who's That Girl? — Mhairi McFarlane. A five-star review promised it will "make you laugh out loud" — and McFarlane consistently delivers. Funny, sharply observed, and with a romantic heart that never tips into saccharine, this is romantic comedy at its best from one of the genre's brightest contemporary voices.
4. The One That I Want — Allison Winn Scotch. A New York Times bestselling exploration of roads not taken — what if you could see the life you didn't choose? Scotch writes women navigating desire, regret, and reinvention with genuine emotional intelligence and an unerring ear for the comedy and pain of modern life.
5. Keep Me Safe — Daniela Sacerdoti. From the million-copy selling author — "Your child asks for her mother. But she doesn't mean you." A deeply emotional story of family, identity, and the love that forms in unexpected places. Sacerdoti specialises in the kind of emotionally complex domestic drama that leaves readers thinking long after the final page.
6. The Long Road Home — Mary Alice Monroe. Another New York Times bestseller, set against the landscapes of the American South that Monroe renders with deep affection and authenticity. A story of homecoming, healing, and the complicated love between people shaped by the same soil.
7. Lucy's Kiss — Rachael Herron. "The bad boy is back in town..." — Herron writes contemporary romance with warmth, humour, and a gift for creating characters who feel genuinely real. Lucy's Kiss is a satisfying small-town romance with emotional depth to match its charm.
8. Mediterranean Men Collection 2025 — Lynne Graham, Carol Marinelli, Rebecca Winters & Maisey Yates (4 stories). Four complete Modern romances in one volume from four of Harlequin's biggest names — sun-drenched settings, irresistible heroes, and the kind of escapist pleasure these authors have perfected over decades of bestselling fiction. Outstanding value.
9. Billion-Dollar Ring Ruse — Jadesola James (Mills & Boon Modern). A fake engagement, a billionaire with secrets, and chemistry that refuses to stay convenient. James is one of Modern's freshest voices, bringing glamour and emotional complexity to a satisfying high-stakes romance.
10. Enemy's Game of Revenge — Maya Blake (Mills & Boon Modern). Blake's signature blend of passion and power plays — two adversaries drawn together by desire even as they battle for control. Sleek, sophisticated, and irresistibly tense.
11. Greek's Shotgun Wedding — Lynne Graham (Mills & Boon Modern). Graham is one of Modern's most beloved and prolific authors, and this delivers everything her readers expect: a commanding Greek hero, an unexpected pregnancy, and a marriage that starts as an arrangement and becomes something undeniable.
12. Vows of Revenge — Julia James (Mills & Boon Modern). James specialises in heroes who are dangerous in all the right ways and heroines who match them — Vows of Revenge brings her trademark intensity to a story of passion entangled with grievance.
13. Princess Bride — Jackie Ashenden, Jennifer Hayward & Maya Blake (3 stories). Three complete royal romances in one volume — arranged marriages, reluctant royals, and the discovery that duty and desire are not always enemies. Three Modern favourites, one irresistible package.
14. A Mediterranean Affair — Ally Blake & Suzanne Merchant (2 stories). Two stories from bestselling Australian author Ally Blake and Suzanne Merchant — sun-drenched settings where undeniable chemistry leads to temptation. Two complete romances in one volume.
15. The Heir Dilemma — Abby Green (Mills & Boon Modern). Green is a Modern stalwart with a gift for emotionally complex heroes and heroines who refuse to be steamrolled by them — The Heir Dilemma delivers the push-pull tension and eventual passionate resolution her readers love.
16. Kidnapped for His Revenge — Caitlin Crews (Mills & Boon Modern). Crews writes the dark, dramatically intense end of the Modern spectrum with particular skill — the kind of romance where the hero's ruthlessness and the heroine's defiance generate enough heat to light up the page.
17. The Waddi Tree — Kerry McGinnis. "A story to break your heart — then lift it up." McGinnis is one of Australia's finest writers of outback fiction, drawing on her own pastoral upbringing to create novels of extraordinary authenticity and emotional power. The Waddi Tree is quintessential McGinnis — landscape, love, and loss rendered with unflinching honesty and deep compassion.
18. Texas — Sarah Hay (Vivid). Subtitled "An Australian love story" — Hay brings two worlds together in a romance set between the wide spaces of outback Australia and the American West. A Vivid title with broad appeal for readers who like their romance with a sense of place.
