BEAUTY AND THE BLACKSMITH BY TESSA DARE
(Spindle Cove #3.5)
Official Blub:
At last, Diana gets a romance of her own! But with the last man anyone in Spindle Cove expects…
Beautiful and elegant, Miss Diana Highwood is destined to marry a wealthy, well-placed nobleman. At least, that’s what her mother has loudly declared to everyone in Spindle Cove.
But Diana’s not excited by dukes and lords. The only man who makes her heart pound is the village blacksmith, Aaron Dawes. By birth and fortune, they couldn’t be more wrong for each other…but during stolen, steamy moments in his forge, his strong hands feel so right.
Is their love forged strong enough to last, or are they just playing with fire?

This series is one of my favourites at the moment and I can’t wait to read this novella. A blacksmith hero sounds positively delicious!

MIDNIGHT TEMPTATIONS WITH A FORBIDDEN LORD BY TIFFANY CLARE
(Dangerous Rogues #2)
Official Blurb:
Seduce and Destroy.
Tristan Bradley, the notorious Marquess of Castleigh, is a danger to any woman’s reputation. Devastatingly handsome and devilishly seductive, he delights in the challenge of a lovely new conquest—especially when she’s engaged to a man he despises. But when this particular young lady asks him to dance, Tristan realizes he may not be the only one playing a game.
Or Fall Dangerously in Love
Defiantly bold and disarmingly beautiful, Lady Charlotte Lindsey will do anything to break free from her loathsome fiancé—even destroy her good name to do it. What better way to seal the deal than a tryst with Lord Tristan, who’s led many a girl to ruin? But when Charlotte looks into his eyes—and Tristan takes her in his arms—all of their schemes melt away…because the heart has a plan of its own.

I was lucky enough to win a copy of the first book in this series, Wicked Nights with a Proper Lady, and enjoyed it so much that I had to pre-order the next book.
