 Here is the book description for  The Earl's Lady Geologist :
Will love be imprinted in their hearts?
Cassandra Linfield is a lady fossil collector who declares she will never marry as as no man will ever take her studies seriously. When circumstances force her to travel to town for the season, Cassy infiltrates the hallowed portals of the Geological Society from which she has been banned. She is horrified when she comes face to face with her nemesis, the infuriating Earl of Rothbury.
Lord Rothbury is a gentleman-geologist with a turbulent romantic past. After a youthful disappointment, he vows never to fall in love again, and makes the decision, instead, to seek out a convenient wife when he returns to England from his geological travels abroad.
Brought together by their close family ties, Cassy and Rothbury collaborate on a geological paper and discover a powerful attraction. Marriage, however, is the one subject they cannot agree upon. But when a secret adversary threatens Cassy’s life, her world spins into turmoil. Will love restore two hearts of stone on the wild cliffs of Dorset?
*Please note that The Earl's Lady Geologist is a sweet and clean traditional Regency romance.

I am excited to announce that Lord Fenmore's Wager will be free from 25 October until 29 October.

A lovely lady, a lofty lord, and a havoc-wreaking wager that leaves a legacy of love...

In a wager with the Earl of Fenmore, young Anthony Hamilton gambles away both his estate and his sister, Diana, who is obliged to move to Fenmore Park to act as a governess to Lord Fenmore's twin nephews and as a companion to Lady Fenmore, the earl's mother. Diana is distressed by the change in her circumstances but makes the most of things, settling into her new life with grace and determination.

Lord Fenmore, who has recently returned from the Napoleonic wars, is intrigued by the new addition to his household. Still, he tries to resist his attraction to Diana as he is wary of committing himself to any woman.

When Diana encounters an old childhood friend eager to renew their acquaintance, the earl is forced to make a decision. Will he take a chance on love? Or will he lose the hand of his charming wagered lady?

*Please note that Lord Fenmore's Wager is a sweet and clean traditional Regency romance.

 

The Lord and the Lady Astronomer, the third book in The Grantham Girls series, is free from 30 April - 4 May. 
Book Description
Can wishing upon a star ever come true?
Abigail Grantham has always taken a keen interest in astronomy since her brother Sir John Grantham enlisted her aid as a young girl to keep records of his astronomical discoveries. Abigail is delighted when her uncle, Lord Longmore, invites her to stay at Longmore Hall in Buckinghamshire as he needs her assistance to compile a star chart.
When Abigail arrives at the Hall, her Aunt Longmore introduces her to local society. However, Abigail also spends a great deal of time in her uncle’s observatory, viewing the night skies alongside her uncle’s neighbor, fellow astronomer William, Viscount Rochvale.
Lord Rochvale is intrigued by Abigail, and when he discovers that they share an interest in ancient buildings and Roman history, he contrives to become better acquainted with her away from her uncle’s observatory, taking her to places of archaeological interest with a view to winning her heart. But the astronomical project they are working on makes courtship difficult, and William’s plans are further frustrated by his rakish cousin Gerald Burnby, who becomes a frequent visitor to Longmore Hall, seeking out Abigail too.
After a valuable Roman urn disappears from Longmore Hall, a series of mysterious occurrences unravel, presenting a puzzle Abigail has no idea how to solve. However, when events escalate into peril, Abigail discovers that it is the night sky that holds the secret to the missing urn—as well as to her stolen heart.
Note: This series is part of Dragonblade's Sweet Dreams line, so this is a sweet, wholesome Historical Romance where passion beyond the bedroom door is left to the reader’s imagination.

Here is a description:

The Linfield Ladies Series is a set of Regency romances featuring three young women with uncommon occupations who fall in love with men who embrace their unusual ways. . . at least eventually.

Cassandra Linfield has a passion for geology and lives in Lyme Regis, where she collects fossils and finds joy in walking along the beach with her spinster friends. Her cousin, Harriet Linfield is a lady novelist who aims to follow in the footsteps of Jane Austen while running an asylum for orphaned young girls. Georgiana, Harriet's younger sister, is a lady biologist with a particular interest in butterflies who plans to make her mark in the field of natural history.

The ladies fall in love with gentlemen who are at first challenged and then intrigued by them. However, the path to true love never runs smoothly, and Cassandra, Harriet, and Georgiana must overcome numerous obstacles before they find their heart's true desire.

The Baron and the Lady Chemist , the second book in The Grantham Girls series, launches today!

Their chemistry creates a chain reaction . . . but will love be the final result?
Dorothea Grantham has always been fascinated by chemistry and spends most days conducting experiments in her laboratory at Grantham Place, staining silk with gold, silver, and other metals using chemical processes.
Thea embroiders the beautiful gold and silver silk shawls she creates and enjoys wearing them, but her grandmother, Lady Longmore, advises her not to reveal to anyone outside the family circle that she has created the fashion items herself, concerned her granddaughter might be seen as an oddity.
When Thea enters Society, her shawls attract a great deal of attention and become the talk of the town. James, Lord Castleroy, takes a particular interest in her work, having inherited a share in his grandfather’s silk mill in Macclesfield.
Eager to invest in the ailing silk industry, the baron studies Miss Grantham’s silks with an admiring—and increasingly suspicious—eye, believing the fabrics to be smuggled imported silk. As he spends more time with the enterprising young lady, however, his interest in her quickly extends beyond his business affairs to engulf his guarded heart.
But Lord Castleroy isn’t the only person in London interested in Thea’s exquisite creations. And when a silken web of intrigue entangles her in real danger, Thea must trust the devotion of a man she never expected—or intended—to fall in love with.
