For this first month of spring, we have four lovely new historical romance novels for you, each of them exploring a unique time period in history. (Also, two of our historical heroines are wearing pants! Which was a different sort of costume to search for than our design team is used to.)
Which of these new releases will be perfect for you? To find out, click on the covers to start reading an excerpt. We’re so proud of all of these authors and their fantastic books!
Far Side of the Sea by Kate Breslin
Plot Summary: In spring 1918, British Lieutenant Colin Mabry receives an urgent message from a woman he once loved but thought dead. Feeling the need to redeem himself, he travels to France—only to find the woman’s half sister, Johanna, who believes her sister is alive and the prisoner of a German spy. As they seek answers across Europe, danger lies at every turn.
The Unexpected Champion by Mary Connealy
Plot Summary: City dweller John McCall never expected to find himself in the High Sierras on a wild-goose chase to find a missing child—and the presence of the strangely attractive wildcat woods-woman Penny Scott only confuses him. When he and Penny are kidnapped out of the blue by a dangerous man, they must find a way to escape before the worst happens.
When You Are Near by Tracie Peterson
Plot Summary: In early 1900s Montana, Lizzy Brookstone’s role as star of an all-female wild west show is rewarding but difficult. However, trials of the heart and a mystery to be solved prove more daunting. As Lizzy and her two friends, runaway Ella and sharpshooter Mary, try to discover how Mary’s brother died, all three seek freedom in a world run by men.
The Highest of Hopes by Susan Anne Mason
Plot Summary: After her grandfather’s death, Emmaline discovers her supposedly deceased father actually lives in Canada. Shocked, she decides to go to him. Accompanied by her friend Jonathan, who harbors a secret love for her, Emmaline arrives in Toronto—to her father’s dismay. Will she give up, or will she stay? And will Jonathan have the courage to tell her the truth?

I like hats so I pick Mary Connealy’s and Kate Breslin’s covers. 🙂 They’re all beautiful!!
I would choose to read Kate Breslin’s book first.
Umm can I pick to step in all of them??? Can’t pick just one lol
They all make me want to step into the settings. Such great covers. But since I have to choose, this morning I’d go with The Highest of Hopes because it looks so much like Spring with all of the flowers in bloom! And I long for a day of such beautiful weather that I could just meander through a lovely garden. (and maybe take a house tour as well!)
