Ana María and the Fox, by Liana de la Rosa - April 4
A forbidden love between a Mexican heiress and a shrewd British politician makes for a tantalizing Victorian season.
Ana María Luna Valdés has strived to be the perfect daughter, the perfect niece, and the perfect representative of the powerful Luna family. So when Ana María is secretly sent to London with her sisters to seek refuge from the French occupation of Mexico, she experiences her first taste of freedom far from the judgmental eyes of her domineering father. If only she could ignore the piercing looks she receives across ballroom floors from the austere Mr. Fox.
Gideon Fox elevated himself from the London gutters by chasing his burning desire for more: more opportunities, more choices. For everyone. Now, as a member of Parliament, Gideon is on the cusp of securing the votes he needs to put forth a measure to abolish the Atlantic slave trade once and for all—a cause that is close to his heart as the grandson of a formerly enslaved woman. The charmingly vexing Ana María is a distraction he must ignore.
But when Ana María finds herself in the crosshairs of a nefarious nobleman with his own political agenda, Gideon knows he must offer his hand as protection . . . but will this Mexican heiress win his heart as well?
***Why I Want to Read It - It's possible I've gotten swept up in the hype for this one, but I do love a forbidden romance and a Victorian romance that doesn't just center rich white dukes.

Why I Want to Read It - The over-the-top plot, the setting, the cover... I'm so excited to read this!
Books I've Read Early:
Disclosure: I received copies of these books from the publisher for review.
The Nanny, by Lana Ferguson - This is a high-heat contemporary boss-employee second chance romance with an executive chef and an occupational-therapist-in-training who had an OnlyFans relationship a year prior. There's a lot of sex which drives the plot and lots of scenes with the kid that are kind of confusingly shoehorned in. I'm not sure who to recommend it to.
Blood Debts, by Terry J. Benton-Walker - I wrote about this in a post a couple of weeks ago. In short - it's a whole ride and I can't wait for the next one!
