Dubious — Julia Talbot

Two gargoyles and a woman who needs them...

Medina Argos is a woman on the run from her present and her past. One of three sisters in an international art theft ring, she flees when a routine art heist goes too far. But this curvy girl is about to learn that some hearts beat to a different drum and the road to love is sometimes the less traveled one, even for a woman with secrets.

Thomas Sauveterre is a renowned art restoration specialist. When he takes on the largest project of his career, he also gains a security officer in the bargain. Grayson Maberry is a man on the brink. Charged with protecting property and guarding the family he's currently assigned, he is torn by duty and a love that may never be. But a true guardian will wait forever and this gargoyle may have just met his match. Twice.

A Lover of Men by Julia Talbot

A former soldier, a spy, and a spinster...three people, three lovers.

For spinster Lelia August, first came the small fortune then came the hoard of unscrupulous characters wanting a piece of it-or more specifically, a piece of her. She decides to find a suitable man to marry, someone who won't want her to submit to the marriage bed. She settles on ex-soldier Phineas Moore, who has a reputation as a lover of men.

Phineas is intrigued by Lelia's offer of a marriage of convenience. But when someone tries to kill Lelia, he hires the irresistible spy Rafe Gaudi to investigate, and soon realizes his simple arrangement is about to become very complicated. Can Rafe and Phineas protect the woman they've come to love and their dream of an unconventional future together?
