Short & Sweet Revolutionary Romances
A Gentleman for the Thief
#1 by Audrey Glenn
Emma needs a fresh start from a life of thieving. Alex needs to bring her to justice. But what they really need is one another. A short & sweet Revolutionary romance
Emma Miller has spent her entire life trying to support her father–even when that meant helping in his criminal schemes. When she finally has a chance to break away, Emma takes her brother to Philadelphia. They don’t know anyone and have no (legal) way to earn a living, but they’re ready to make a clean start where no one knows about their past.
Despite her assumed name, banker Alex Schaeffer knows exactly who Miss Miller is–she’s one of the schemers who just defrauded his family company in New York. As he takes the pair into his home to keep tabs on them, he finds himself more interested in Emma’s kindness than legal retribution.
When their fathers descend on Philadelphia, Alex and Emma’s newfound love will be put to the test. Can a gentleman really love a thief?

A Lady for the Baker
#2 by Diana Davis
Esther is a judge’s daughter. Theo is a lowly baker. Can the Revolution bring them together—or will it tear them apart? A short & sweet Revolutionary romance
The only thing Esther Morton loves more than dancing is baker Theobalt Clayton’s sweet breads. Esther knows their worlds seem far apart, but when she hears that Congress is planning a ball to celebrate Mrs. Washington’s visit, she can’t help but dream she’ll be dancing in City Tavern with Theo.
Theo would love nothing more than to dance with Esther—if he knew how to dance, that is. But how can the Congress continue to throw lavish parties after they enacted resolutions that restricted such frivolities for everyone else? Theo’s tradesmen friends agree: it’s time they make themselves heard to the Congress, even if that means taking City Tavern down brick by brick.
As the ball grows nearer, Esther and Theo will have to choose between their loyalties and their hearts. Will the Revolution bring them together—or will it tear them apart?
