Emma Lea

Kit Alexander, better known as The Wizard of Oz, was an international football star. He may have hit a bad patch there for a while, but he was clawing his way back to the top, right up until an injury benched him. With three weeks to kill and an invitation to a wedding Down Under, Kit's plans were on hold. He needed to keep his head down and let his body heal before they'd let him back on the pitch and that's exactly what he intended to do.Being invited to the hottest wedding of the season was a dream come true for Charlotte Fox. She'd never left her small town of Oxley Crossing in the twenty-eight years she'd lived there--doctor's visits and hospital stays didn't count. Now that she was out on her own for the first time in her life, she was determined to store up enough experiences and memories to last another twenty-eight years.A chance meeting in a bar late one night brought the two of them together. Kit would be leaving to go back to the UK and his career, and Charlie was only in the city for the wedding and a brief holiday before she had to go back to her life in Oxley Crossing. It was only meant to be a flirtation, a holiday fling, nothing serious. But it's all fun and games until someone falls in love.

Jace was the last remaining single member of Court'n Jacks. The only thing that could make him happier was getting their latest album finished, if only he could find the elusive missing 'thing.'The last thing Maeve needed in her life was drama that came in the shape of a six-foot, grumpy musician with control issues. But she needed the job.

Lady Margaret de la Fontaine was the forgotten lady in waiting. She didn't mind...most of the time. She liked working with Lady Savannah and the others and believed whole-heartedly in what the queen was trying to achieve in their small country of Merveille. She just wished that someone would notice her, just once.Queen Alyssa's ladies in waiting had, one by one, met and fallen in love with their dream partners, all except Margaret, not that anybody had given her single status another thought. That didn't mean she didn't also wish for someone to love, but she wasn't holding her breath, especially since her best friend, Lady Hadley Winchester, was now part of the ladies in waiting. It seemed the newest member of the group was a hit with everyone, including the queen, which was great but once again left Margaret as the wallflower.Until Br n.Br n noticed the sweet wee Maggie standing against the wall while everyone else at the ball danced and chatted. He felt a kinship with her, even across the room and sought her out for a little bit of harmless flirting. He was supposed to be checking out the candidates for his arranged marriage, but he really wasn't keen on the whole idea. He understood his responsibility as the lost heir of a broken down estate that was haemorrhaging money, but he didn't really see himself as the marrying kind...and even if he did, he'd want to do it for love, not money.Br n was immediately taken with Lady Margaret, but alas, she was not the debutante his advisors had picked out for him. That honour went to Maggie's best friend, Lady Hadley. But what was a newly minted earl to do when he had the livelihoods of several staff and families to look after? Not to mention, if he didn't find a solution he may very well lose the estate and the title that went with it.

Coming to Merveille and taking up a position as one of Queen Alyssa's ladies in waiting hadn't been part of Savannah Rousseau's plan, but she wasn't going to turn down the opportunity when it came her way. The daughter of an impoverished viscount, Savannah had nothing to lose and everything to gain by being included amongst the new queen's entourage...as long as no one found out about her secret.Savannah loved her son. Archer was the sun and moon of her life, but being a single mother would mean instant disqualification from the ladies in waiting. So she hid him from the queen and her new friends...for two years. Now someone had stumbled upon her secret and Savannah would do anything to ensure that she didn't become a royal embarrassment. Jed Fairchild came to Merveille to escape his own scandal and the last thing he wanted was to be embroiled in another. Finding out about the young boy and impoverished viscount that Savannah had stashed in the abandoned hunting cabins was a complication that he didn't need. Being attracted to the hot-tempered lady in waiting was another. All Jed wanted was to live a simple life working with his horses and ignoring the rest of the world, but with Savannah in his life and the inquisitive Archer following him like his very own shadow, the quiet life was the last thing Jed had...and maybe it wasn't really what he wanted after all.This is a Sweet Romance - These are romantic tales without the bedroom scenes and the swearing, but that doesn't mean they're boring
