A staged seduction...to solve a murder mystery!

After one disastrous season, Miss Horatia Carmichael avoids the ton - her mind and tongue are too unfashionably opinionated to land a husband. But to find her brother's killer, she must join forces with incorrigible rake Lord Devizes and allow the marquess to pretend to seduce her for all to see! Horatia knows it's not real - she's a plain spinster after all - but as danger grows, so does their desire...

His virgin mistress!

Major Tom Bartlett is shocked to discover the angel who nursed his battle wounds is darling of the ton, Lady Sarah Latymor. One taste of her threatens both her impeccable reputation and his career!

An honourable man would ask for her hand but Bartlett is considered an unrepentant rake by polite society; sweet Sarah would be spurned as his mistress and even as his wife. He demands she leave but Sarah is just as determined to stay, by his side — and in his bed!

Richard, Lord Ledbury, has had his fair share of adventure on warring battlefields, but even this seasoned soldier isn't prepared for the outrageous escapades going on in London's ballrooms! Lady Jayne Chilcott is under orders to find a husband, and Lord Ledbury has caught her eye.

But nothing is simple when courting under the glittering spotlight of the ton. Richard has always risen to any challenge, but Lady Jayne might just be the first to get the better of him… Let the games begin!

Battle-scarred Captain Robert Fawley was under no illusion that women still found him attractive. None would agree to marry him – except, perhaps, Miss Deborah Gillies, a woman so down on her luck that a convenient marriage might help improve her circumstances.

Plain and somewhat shy, Deborah accepted his pragmatic proposal – because she was already halfway to falling in love with him. As remote as Robert was, though, could she ever hope to reach his guarded heart?

The last person Lord Crispin Sinclair expects to see in a disreputable inn is the woman he's there to forget: Lady Caroline Fallowfield. He hasn't forgiven her for marrying another man – or forgotten their mutual passion. When she implores him to come home for his brother's Christmas nuptials, he agrees – if the now–widowed Caroline is willing to share his bed and take another gamble on love…

"Vile seducer of women!" 

Of all the accusations Gregory, Duke of Halstead, has ever had leveled at him, this is perhaps the most offensive and the least accurate. But as he has just woken naked in bed with no memory of the night before, next to a beautiful stranger, perhaps it's time to reevaluate! 

Innocent Prudence is just as shocked when she awakens! But as these strangers begin to unravel the plot behind the scandalous circumstances, she discovers the delicious consequences of finding herself in bed with…a duke!

"Stop me now, or I will kiss you. And I promise you, if I do that, you will never be the same again."

Jonathan, Earl of Deben, is a quintessential peer of the realm.

He's arrogant, overbearing, and a just a little puffed up with his own self–importance.

Possibly this has to do with his pre–eminent reputation as one of the most sought after lovers in London.

When Henrietta Gibson comes to his aid after he is nearly entrapped into a marriage, Lord Deben decides that to thank the new transplant to London he's going to teach her every tool in his seduction book – for her own benefit in society of course.

But if Lord Deben expects Henrietta Gibson to respond to the click of his fingers he's got another thing coming.
