Miss Merribelle Hales spent years imbuing a silver locket with man-attracting charms. On the way to her first London Season, her locket is stolen–along with a kiss–by a highwayman. Her only clue to his identity: a pair of intense eyes. This vexes her. Without her best charm, how will she ever be able to compete on the Marriage Mart? It would be so much easier if she didn’t have to compete at all.
Lord Alexander Rochester, has worries aplenty. His ailing father’s estates are woefully in debt, so he must seek a wealthy wife. His courtship of Miss Hales goes terribly awry with a simple kiss that leads to his slapped face and an accusation of theft.
It’s a case of mistaken identity. Alexander knows and fears the real culprit. He faces the loss of his father, his estate and Miss Hales–whom he’s loved since childhood–at the hands of the Handkiss Highwayman.
For fans of Mary Robinette Kowal, Julia Quinn and Georgette Heyer.

![The White Feather - James Cowper and Georgia](https://heidikneale.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/TWF_small.png)
Crippled by a fear of firearms, James Cowper is rejected by the draft. The villagers mark him as a cowardly pariah and shame him cruelly, to the point of James attempting to take his own life. He is stopped by the appearance of the famously naked Stoweham Ghost who convinces him to live.
A hundred years ago a romantic rival cursed Georgia Palmerton, wresting her spirit from her body. Since then, she’s wandered as the incorporeal Stoweham Ghost. Unlike true death, Georgia could be restored back to life, if only she could find someone brave enough to lift the curse from her body.
Freeing Georgia from physical death is a simple matter. Freeing James from social death is altogether more challenging, especially when he is asked to give up everything he’s ever known.
Can courage win over cowardice?

Three tales–one past, one present, one future–explore what it is to love and just how far someone would go for the love of another.
The Past: Lady Daphne Collister is unimpressed with her fellow magic-wielding debutantes. She finds their methods overbearing. Surely there was a better way of finding a noble husband in Regency England?
The Present: Ellie loves Josh. Josh barely knows Ellie exists. For her, it is not enough to sit behind him at school every day. What must Ellie do to get Josh to notice her? How about a love spell? After all, what could go wrong?
The Future: Leo and his co-worker Katerina have fallen in love. Secretly, of course, for office romance is illegal and all marriages are strictly regulated. There’s only one exception: the Valentine Raffle. But to win at love, Leo and Katerina may need to cheat the system…
