REUNITED UNDER DEADLY CIRCUMSTANCES…

Tasked with covertly investigating a string of suspicious deaths, Charles Hunter finds himself reunited with Georgiana Huffington, darling of the ton, who broke his heart many years before. She's a woman with a mysterious past – mere days after taking their vows, Georgiana's two husbands have perished under mysterious circumstances.

As Charles works with Georgiana to prove her innocence she finds herself captivated by the man he's become. Still devilishly handsome, he's now more guarded, more…dangerous. Georgiana fears she's losing her heart to him, but will her love make Charles the killer's next victim?

James Hunter cannot forget the night he rescued Eugenia O'Rourke from a terrifying ordeal how she felt in his arms, warm and vulnerable. Now working in the Home Office by day, he doesn't find it difficult to assume the role of her rake protector by night.

Gina is painfully aware that James witnessed her deepest humiliation. Her biggest fear was her captor's return, but as midnight strikes she's more afraid of being the object of James's pity.

But pity is not what James feels.

Saving Sarah

Sarah Hunter was a lady of the night. Not in the salacious sense, but Ethan Travis had no way of knowing her close–held secrets. He saw, instead of an avenging angel, a lost and vulnerable soul who needed his unique talents to rescue her–almost as much as he needed her unconditional love to rescue him!

Cloaked in a dark and dangerous appeal, Ethan Travis wore his whispered title of "the Demon of Alsatia" well. And Sarah Hunter was drawn to him with a mad intensity. But it was futile, she knew, for even a man with a past could never truly desire a woman without a future!

The Missing Heir

He'd returned from the dead to come face–to–face with an angel.

Indeed, to Adam Hawthorne's eyes, Grace Forbush possessed an ethereal beauty, all the more intriguing when draped with the air of mystery she wore like an elegant evening wrap. But were the ton's whispers true? Could this heavenly creature who stirred him like no other have done murder most foul?

The buckskin–clad savage in Grace Forbush's library wasn't all he seemed. Shockingly, he was more, for Adam Hawthorne was an English gentleman –– and her late husband's true heir, come to claim what was rightfully his: her hearth, her home...and her heart!

Tropical heat burning passion

Daphne had sacrificed everything to remain unknown in her tropical paradise. But if Lord Lockwood recognized the woman who had fled England with a crime on her conscience, nothing could keep her safe.

Even the thought of future punishment could not dampen present desire. Lockwood's lips reawakened the passionate woman she had once been. What harm, Daphne reasoned, could come from one stolen kiss? Still, she could not allow her feelings to overpower her sense it was too dangerous. She'd denied herself for five years. Surely she could deny Lockwood for a few weeks?

The seduction of Lady Lace

Bored with his dissolute life, Andrew Hunter craved a new diversion. And one presented itself in the form of the mysterious Lady Lace! Her practiced flirtations branded her an experienced woman – but her bewitching kisses spoke of innocence and purity.

Lord Libertine set himself to seduce the truth from her. But the notorious rakehell was not prepared for the answers he gained. And in discovering the lady's secrets, he endangered his own heart!

The Courtesan's Courtship

When Dianthe Lovejoy is accused of murdering a courtesan who bears an uncanny resemblance to her, she goes into hiding. The only man who can protect her is her enemy — notorious rake Lord Geoffrey Morgan.

Owing a debt of honour to her relative, Lord Geoffrey reluctantly takes in the meddlesome miss. But when he learns of her plan to masquerade as a courtesan to unmask the villain, he vows to put a stop to the ridiculous scheme. Thinking that training Dianthe in the courtesan arts will scare her off, Geoffrey discovers that he's met his match. Especially when Dianthe practices her newly acquired wiles on him...

A Wild Justice

For despite Lady Annica Sayles's determination to remain a spinster — the better to avenge wronged women, the better to guard her heart — her passionate response to Tristan Sinclair, the elusive Earl of Auberville, swept her into a web of intrigue and desire beyond her wildest imaginings!

What he got was an independent woman with secrets of her own. But Annica Sayles, this most unsuitable of brides, suited him exactly, for she shared his thirst for justice and stirred his deepest needs!

The Rake's Revenge 

Rob McHugh had survived an agonizing ordeal in foreign climes only to discover his family's tragedy was rooted in British soil. For a terrible irony revealed that Afton Lovejoy, his beautiful English rose, had dangerous thorns – and was, in fact, the very woman he'd sworn to destroy! Her beloved aunt had been murdered, forcing Afton to masquerade as fortune–teller to the ton to find the killer. What she found, however, was a dangerous, heady mix of intrigue and desire – for Rob McHugh, notorious womanizer, had roused her passions…and her suspicions!

A Christmas Secret

Yet when Sir Andrew MacGregor arrived at the manor, Charity's expectations took a different turn. Now, she wanted no one else to claim her hand unless it was the handsome Scotsman with the sensual smile...

Unlacing Lilly

The bastard son of a duke, Devlin Farrell is about to exact revenge for his mother's murder. He will even go as far as kidnapping his enemy's bride from the altar!

Lilly O'Rourke is merely an innocent pawn in Devlin's plan. Other than ruining her reputation, he means her no harm – though it's hard to play the perfect gentleman when he's struggling to resist her tempting beauty. But Devlin has lived so long for revenge, can he now forfeit this desire – and in rescuing Lilly, save himself?
