Ten true love stories on the eve of midnight.
We invite you to enjoy Hearts Through History’s debut anthology--The Eve of Love, as we take you through three hundred years of family tradition--a New Year’s Eve Costume Ball where love conquers all.

We’ll entice you with elaborate masquerades, all-encompassing love matches, and a tapestry of settings that start in Tudor England, journey through the US Colonial and Civil War Eras, Victorian London and Tokyo, and conclude back in the United States on the cusp of the 20th century.

And once he does, he’ll find himself facing his own past loss for the first time--and more than willing to risk his heart again, just in time to make the Clan Kendrick’s Christmas celebrations more festive than ever...

A soldier returns to claim the lady of his heart before she marries another in this frosty Victorian Christmas romance.
The captain
Andrew Grey has long wished to make Aster Corbyn his, but a lady who’s always been surrounded by brilliance, from her astronomer father to her artist mother, doesn’t deserve mediocrity. So Andrew sets out to achieve, if not brilliance, at least a proper shine, and he asks her to wait for his return. Aaand wait. Then he receives the unwelcome news that Aster has gone and betrothed herself to another.
And his lady
At six and twenty, Aster Corbyn thought she’d have married Andrew Grey long before now. But his letters have grown less frequent and she’s grown more impatient. After years of watching their star across an ocean of disappointment, she’s given up on him just as he’s apparently given up on their dreams.
When a St. Nicholas Eve snowstorm thwarts her travels, Aster finds herself stranded with her old friend, who is recently--and quite unexpectedly--returned from India. And to her irritation, Andrew is just as carefree and irreverent as she recalls.
Will merry hearths and mistletoe thaw this pair before it’s too late for a second chance at love?

Lady Juliette is in need of a hero.
Which is odd for her because she’s spent her life as first an independent bluestocking and then defiantly chose spinsterhood over marriage. But since striking out on her own she’s been...lost.
She can’t go back to her old life and the path forward that had seemed so clear before had become as muddled and grey as the fog that rolls in off the ocean where she conducts her research. Which way should she go?
But just when she’s at her darkest a ray of light appears in the form of Mr. Jonathon Richmond. A boat owner, he takes her out to sea where she can finally complete the work she needs. It all seems simple enough, as does the attraction building between her and the fisherman. But he’s far more than he appears and his real identity just might break the tender bond developing between them.
Is he the answer to her prayer or the shortest way to a broken heart?

Cursed into the form of a lion without nightly sex, Lord Nash Hammond wants only two things--his liquor strong and smooth, and his wenches wild and willing. What he doesn’t need is a virgin!
Meet a Shakespeare-quoting shapeshifter who wants nothing to do with love...
Nash senses the man across from him in the cramped stagecoach is trouble, a danger to the veiled woman accompanying her lofty “protector”. Nash knows he’s no hero, yet she keeps asking for his help. And how is it the vexing female knows so much about his secrets? Ones that could rip her apart if she only knew it...
And the spunky “lady” from the streets who masquerades as another man’s mistress...
Blessed with the second-sight--or cursed, depending upon which relative she believes--Laney sees her two possible futures: bleak and a soon-deceased victim (ack!) or frolicking with her fellow stagecoach passenger: a golden-eyed, tawny-haired gentleman--who’s anything but.
The miserable rip who’s already stepped on her dress, who keeps staring...
Nash is surly and rude and resistant to her every effort to speak with him. When they stop for the night and she overhears him order a “strumpet” to bed, Laney takes the doxy’s place, convinced she can pretend well enough. After all, she’s pretended to be a mistress for years. She’ll satisfy his needs, but refuse his money--demand he listen and help her instead. Then she’ll be safe.
Until, along with her body, Nash starts to claim her heart as well.
