RECOMMENDED: These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer is $1.99! This is a Regency romance and I have such a soft spot for this book. Sorry, Buckeye fans, this hero’s a Wolverine-but we won’t hold that against him. Warning: Contains a doctor learning there’s more to healing his patients than stitching a wound, and more to a woman than knowing her place-and it’s not in the shadows with her head down. But Ruby must choose between seeking her own happiness and staying to fight for the soul of her hometown. And soon, Adam wants nothing more than to take Ruby and her child far from Georgia’s toxic prejudice. Something powerful draws him to the beauty whose activist spirit is as fiery as her name. Now that he’s in Georgia, summoned by his white father, he can feel restrictions closing in around him. Adam Morson easily kept his mixed race a secret.

Despite his arrogance, Ruby senses he’s someone like her, whose light skin doesn’t quite hide who he is. When she comes to help an injured mill worker, she bristles when a tall, handsome man claiming to be a doctor brushes her aside.
