Restless Hearts by Mona Ingram, 1st in her Gold Rush Romances series of f/m historical romances set in 1800s San Francisco (curiously, this one is subtitled A San Francisco Gold Rush Romance, kind of implying that other volumes might have been non-San Francisco gold rushes, as happened in the Yukon and elsewhere; well, maybe further down the line). This is newly written, but Ingram is an Avalon Books alumna whose backlist works are now carried by Amazon's exclusive Montlake Romance imprint which bought them out.
Boston, 1849. Denied her dream of attending medical school, Sarah Howard is desperate to leave Boston far behind. Determined to prove that she can make it on her own, she poses as a married woman and boards a schooner bound for San Francisco.
Stuck working in his family’s merchant bank, Jamie Thompson eagerly accepts the challenge of setting up a branch in San Francisco. He’s been restless for some time now, and barely escaped the clutches of the woman determined to marry him.
The attraction between Sarah and Jamie is instant and powerful, yet each has something to prove, if only to themselves. Will their single-minded determination derail a blossoming romance?

Coyote by Della Van Hise (
ISFDB), a contemporary f/m romantic suspense with strong mystical/paranormal urban fantasy elements. This is newly-written, but Hise has been published by Pocket Books (and in fact the Star Trek tie-in novel she wrote for them is quite notorious for being the one that they recalled and destroyed, then revised for republication, for apparently being too slashy, both f/f and m/m-wise, for their tastes).
A Novel of Love, Honor & Personal Sacrifice...
When River Willows is accused of a murder she didn't commit, her life takes a turn toward the sanctuary of a world existing at right-angles to our own. Combining the mysticism of martial arts and the romantic conflict of a young woman torn between two powerful men, COYOTE takes the reader on an epic journey of dangerous secrets, military cover-ups, and the infinite heart of the peaceful warrior.
