Lady Beatrice thought the worst she would have to face as a new wife and mother was all the gossip about her past as the king's mistress. Unfortunately, wicked fairies have come to her village, intent on stealing all the most attractive children away-and Beatrice's newborn son is widely agreed to be the most beautiful baby in the land. Before she can stop them, the worst happens and Beatrice's son is taken, and a strange fairy changeling child left in his place. Beatrice should revile the otherworldly creature, yet she finds herself growing fonder of him by the day. He could never replace her own son, but she finds her heart has room enough for the changeling child too. But the only way to reclaim her own son is to swap the children back. Must Beatrice lose the changeling child to get her own son back, or can she figure out another way to save both children and keep them as her own?

Jurassic Park meets Romancing the Stone Dr. Grace Carson is one of the lucky few scientists cleared for time travel. Years ago, her husband nearly destroyed her career by poaching dinosaurs. Grace turned him in, divorced the deadbeat, and two years later she's ready to return to the work she loves: studying dinosaurs in their natural habitat. She has no interest in the new time agent, Ben Nakamura, assigned to her research station. No matter how charming or clever he is. Unfortunately, her team isn't alone. Poachers are trapping dinosaurs for the black market again. Another scandal like this could kill her research if it comes out, and Grace's boss wants her to look the other way until the thieves are gone. But Grace can't bring herself to let the criminals get away. When the poachers discover Grace's plans to blow the whistle, they attack her research station. Nakamura and Grace flee into the forest with her time machine, but it's broken in the process. Nakamura knows a secret cache where they can hopefully fix the time machine, but it means a perilous trek through the wilderness. Braving prehistoric dangers together shows Grace she can trust Nakamura with her life, but she's still not sure she can ever trust him with her heart.

For a century, the nations of Jerdun and Lyond have been at each other's throats. Princess Aliénor is a proud woman of Jerdun, and King Thomas of Lyond should have been her hated enemy. Yet from her first meeting with the foreign king, she cannot deny the tender connection between them. After a brutal ambush leaves them stranded in a strange land together, the two decide to face the many perils of the journey back home united. But as suspicious allies only--love is out of the question. When danger strikes at them on the road, Aliénor immediately regrets hiding her feelings. A sorceress with plans to make herself Queen of Lyond captures their group and lays a hideous curse on Thomas, damning the brave king to an eternal, bitter sleep. If the spell is not broken, if Thomas is not woken in time, the king will fall into madness. Frightened and alone, Aliénor must fight free from her wicked captor, for herself and her sleeping king. Only then does she have a chance of breaking the curse. Yet even if she does save Thomas, how can love conquer the bitter feud between their nations?

Lady Kathryn's father sends her to court to find a husband, but being penniless and disinterested doesn't bode well for her success. Bored by the petty intrigues of court, her frustration and loneliness are eased when the king charges her with the care of his newest acquisition: a wolf he and his hunters have recently captured. What the king doesn't realize is his remarkable pet was once Gabriel, his favorite knight, cursed into wolf form by an unfaithful wife. The beast's uncanny intelligence and human-like behavior convince Kathryn that he is more than what he seems. Resolving to help him, she doesn't count on the greatest obstacle being Gabriel himself. The longer he stays in wolf form as a captive of the court, the harder it becomes for him to remember his humanity and to fight his wolfish urges to maim and kill. Only Kathryn's affection and determination stand between Gabriel the wolf and Gabriel the man. But when the one who betrayed him returns to court, will Kathryn's love be enough to keep Gabriel from exacting a brutish revenge that will condemn the wolf to death?
