A Season for Treason (Deception and Discipline #1) by Golden Angel
A traitor. A courtship. A scandalous Season. In the race against time, will this pair reach the altar or the traitor first? In the service of England's spymaster (well, his niece, but surely he'll appreciate the help), Miss Mary Wilson is on a mission to uncover a treasonous plot. Though her only clue leads to the debaucherous secret society of the Marquess of Hartford, a lifetime of being overlooked should ensure her access to all of the gossip her assignment will require. There's just one problem: Mary is due to find a husband this Season and her Aunt Elizabeth, the Viscountess Hood, is determined to see her niece shine bright.
Focused on finding the perfect bride this Season, the Marquess of Hartford, known to his friends as Rex, finds himself distracted by the quiet Miss Wilson as she continually turns up everywhere she shouldn't be. As Rex considers the misbehaving Miss Wilson, a curious thought occurs to him. Is it possible that she could be the kind of bride who would enjoy life by his side and the pursuits of the Society of Sin?
Dumpster Fire (Life Sucks #3) by Elise Faber
Rob was single. That hadn’t been the plan. But it turned out that his plan wasn’t immune to car accidents. It couldn’t stave off death, couldn’t stop bad things from happening.
Now Carmella — his wife, his best friend, the other half of his heart — was gone. And she’d been gone long enough for the tendrils of loneliness to creep in, for him to risk dipping his toe back into the dating world. The only problem was that dating was a hell of a lot different in this world than when he’d been in college. He wasn’t good at apps and profiles, his banter skills were rusty, and his flirting... well, some might say it was atrocious. Then came high, high heels. Then came a sharp voice with an impressive repertoire of curse words. Then came a woman who was definitely not Carmella... but who might be the possibility of something.
Dressed to Kill (Cori Sloane Witchy Werewolf #5) by Tegan Maher
Never trust a vampire in a Prada suit, especially if you find her ex-dead in her trunk. Life couldn't be better for Cori Sloane. She has a fabulous boyfriend, her town's prospering, and for once, the local supernatural’s are all playing nice. Sure, she still has to deal with a family feud here and there, but that's par for the course when witches, werewolves, vampires, and all manner of shifters live in the same town.
Her peace and quiet end with a deafening crash when a fender bender turns into a murder investigation, and the prime suspect has friends in high places. Unfortunately, so did her ex. Though the woman swears she's innocent, Cori knows she's hiding something, and she's determined to find out what before an innocent person goes to prison for a crime she didn't commit.
