Dating Mr. Darcy (Love Manor Romantic Comedy Book 1) (affiliate link)
What’s a reality TV dating show and Mr. Darcy got in common? Me, that’s what.
Picture this: I’m a contestant on a reality dating show. Me, chasing love? Oh, I’ve got much grander plans than that. My activewear line needs some serious spotlight, and apparently, this show is the ticket. But let’s get real, is being paired with a Mr. Darcy knockoff really the price I have to pay?
That would be a deeply regretful yes.
Now, let’s talk about Sebastian Huntington-Ross, the wannabe Mr. Darcy. This guy is straight out of a Jane Austen novel, like they plucked him from the pages and plopped him right on set. Dark features, chiseled jawline, shoulders that could block out the sun, and an English accent that could melt glaciers. But guess what? Beyond those looks, he’s got an ego the size of a hot air balloon, arrogance that could win awards, and a smugness that could power a small city.

Cupcakes for My Orc Enemy: Sweet Monster Treats (affiliate link)
Her grumpy orc neighbor has the best buns in town – and his baked goods aren’t bad either!
When Elara flees corporate life to open a coffee shop in the small southern town of Fairhaven Falls, the last thing she is looking for is a relationship. But when she meets Grondar, the gruff orc owner of the bakery next door, sparks fly. Literally.
Grondar has been burned by human females before. He has no intention of letting the feisty little female next door get under his skin – no matter how attractive he finds her. And it certainly doesn’t mean he’s going to let her get away with sabotaging his business.
Despite their disastrous first meeting, Elara still finds herself having inappropriately heated thoughts about the massive orc next door. It doesn’t help that every time he stomps over to lecture her she ends up in his arms!
Welcome to Seabury (affiliate link)
Welcome to Seabury – where everyone knows everyone, the average tourist hasn’t got a clue it even exists, and that’s just how the locals like it!
Kate Hardy really doesn’t like change. Why would she when life’s pretty much perfect as it is?
She’s lived in the gorgeous coastal town of Seabury all her life – well, apart from that three-month blip in London – but she doesn’t like to think about that.
Now she’s back where she belongs – running her tiny seafront cafe, The Sardine, with her rescue dog Stanley at her side, and the occasional romantic (though decidedly brief) visit from a certain gorgeous French fisherman.

When her uncle holds the life of her deathly-ill father over her head, reluctantly, Elise puts her fate into the hands of Legion Grey, the handsome and mysterious dowry negotiator. He may be arrogant and infuriating, but soon Legion incites a blistering, forbidden passion she can’t ignore.
As their attraction grows, so do the dangers: attacks from black-eyed people, a cursed enemy who is more beast than man, and rumors of fae returning for the crown they believe was stolen from them long ago.
