The Falconer’s Lost Baron

Susanne Dunlap

Comfortable Prose Publishing

1st Dec 25

Antonella has always believed she and Lady Belinda were twin sisters—until a shocking revelation shatters her identity and her place in society. Seeking solace in Cornwall, she rescues a wounded goshawk and crosses paths with Lord Atherleigh, a battle-scarred baron who has lost both his hand and his hope. As hawk and man begin to heal, so too does her heart.

Meanwhile in London, Belinda vows to secure her sister’s future—but her resolve falters when she meets the dangerously charming Mr. Gainesworth, a rake with no title and no intention of letting her go. When he follows her to Cornwall, love, loyalty, and family secrets collide.

A tender Regency romance of courage, healing, and two entwined love stories—perfect for readers who adore heartfelt, closed-door romances set against the wild beauty of Cornwall.

Golden Girls on the Run

Judy Leigh

Boldwood Books

6th Dec 25

When octogenarian sisters-in-law Sadie and Bronagh find themselves at the centre of a scandalous (and slightly explosive) bake-off fiasco, there’s only one thing to do – steal Sadie’s grandson’s gleaming red Ferrari and make a run for it.

Sadie is the practical one, all cardigans and contingency plans. Bronagh treats rules as loose suggestions – especially if mischief or wine is involved.

What begins as a quick getaway across Ireland soon spirals into a wild, cross-country adventure filled with fake identities, unexpected friendships, and more than a few brushes with the law.

Sadie and Bronagh may be on the run, but what they find at the journey’s end might just be what they were missing all along…
