Camden

Watching my best friend take a bullet changed me. For the better. I don't want to be that guy anymore. The one who lives minutes at a time. I realize now what's important in life…and how badly I messed it up. Because all I want is Cassie. And I'm not running scared anymore. I want it all. And I want it with her.

Cassie

I'd been secretly in love with Cam since we were kids. In high school, he never looked twice at me. Then one day, years later, he did. And that was the most amazing month of my life… until he ghosted me. Now he's begging for a second chance, a shot to redeem himself. Forgiveness is easy. Forgetting? That's a hard one. I'm not sure I can trust him, but I can't just walk away. Even if it hurts in the end.

This is the first book in an exciting new series from bestselling author, Chasity Bowlin. If you love a steamy, grumpy-sunshine story about unrequited love and missed opportunities, you won't want to miss out on Miss Mulberry and the Moody Marquess.

There is no one possessed of a more sour disposition than Ethan Warburton, Marquess Aimsbury. In their small village of Ambleside, it is well known that to cross him is to bear the brunt of his typically foul mood. But Ethan's gruff demeanor is nothing more than a sham—a mask he wears to hide a very painful truth. He's been in love with a woman he cannot have for more years than he can count. A woman, who until very recently, was promised to another.

Miss Charlotte Mulberry's normally sunny disposition has never been more challenged than in the wake of being jilted by her betrothed. Abandoned in favor of another woman who possessed a greater fortune and more lofty connections, Charlotte has struggled to make her way in a small village where everyone knows everything about everyone.

And then the strangest thing occurs… The Marquess of Aimsbury smiled. Actually smiled. At her. She isn't certain if it's mere pity on his part or if she's finally slipped over the edge into complete madness. But when he asks her to dance, she realizes very quickly that there is far more to the Moody Marquess than anyone in Walton-under-Hill than anyone ever realized—including her.

A bit of flirtation, a stolen kiss or two… or three, and Charlotte is well on her way to forgetting her former betrothed entirely. Until he turns up and expects to pick things up just where they left him. Charlotte finds herself quite torn— does she go back to the man who abandoned her, or pin her hopes on a man everyone else believes to be wholly unlikely to ever marry?

Ashley

Dixie Plaza. The hell hole I grew up in, is my new home, courtesy of my Dad's petty spite. He sold my grandma's house out from under me and now all I can afford is this beat up trailer. But Dixie Plaza isn't all bad.

The hot, single dad neighbor with a slightly shady past and a killer smile? That's definitely a plus. The way my pulse kicks up when he turns that smile in my direction? That's a problem.

Ford

How the hell am I supposed to stay away from this woman when my kid adores her and the feeling is obviously mutual? I don't have time to get involved with the pretty brunette who is not trailer park material. My daughter is my only priority. So what if I see my gorgeous new neighbor in my dreams? I'm a grown man who knows you don't always get what you want.

But what if it's not about wanting her. What if it's about needing her? And that… that scares the hell out of me.

Ava

All I want is a quiet, drama free existence. I get all the drama I need working with troubled families. But a chance encounter with a too good looking stranger with a hero complex has turned my whole world on end. It's got me thinking that maybe a little bit of drama—if it's the right kind of drama—might not be such a bad thing, after all.

Ranger

I've been alone for a long time. That's how I wanted it. Wanted. Past tense. Because the moment Ava walked in, I couldn't keep my eyes off her. The age difference, her past, my past, and now this guy who has an axe to grind with her over his own messed up choices—there are a lot of reasons to run. But for the first time in a very long time, running is the last thing I want to do.

Desmond Crane is a confirmed bachelor, always running from love…

Accompanying his widowed sister back to her home in Lincolnshire, he finds himself in a most unusual situation. A woman—dark haired and mysterious—has quite literally struck him dumb. From the first sight of her, he knows his life has been irrevocably altered. Because with a single look, he knows this is the woman who was meant to be his.

Belladonna Goodwynne is more than just scandalous… she's rumored to be in league with the devil.

Or at least that's what the local vicar would have everyone believe. Living in a small cottage on the edge of the village, she's content to simply be left alone. But a meddling and well meaning friend has put her in a position that she had never imagined—succumbing to her family's curse to love instantly and tragically. Because no Goodwynne woman will ever find happiness. Love, for all that have come before her, is merely the stepping stone to tragedy and heart break.

One fateful night . . .

Trapped in a loveless marriage, abducted for ransom, and abandoned to the not-so-tender mercies of her kidnappers, Henrietta Dagliesh, Lady Ernsdale, has only seen the very worst of men. Until Joss Ettinger plucks her from the river, saving her life and showing her that not all men are cut from the same cloth. And Hettie learns exactly why it is that so many women will readily fall from grace.

Joss knows she's not for him. Not for the long haul, anyway. Little better than a street rat, he's got a past that's full of secrets and shadows too dirty to ever touch someone as fine as Hettie. But resisting temptation is never easy, and when it comes in the form of a beautiful and willing woman, he gives in to desire. But after one night of passion, he knows he must put distance between them for her sake, even if it eats him alive.
