“I’ve got one rule and it’s no women on board. Ever.” When the youngest brother of the rough and tumble Smith family turned to smuggling, Lord Fulton Smith knew he had to keep his operation simple to keep from being caught. But the beautiful stowaway, Sophie, makes his life anything but easy. His smuggling self knows he ought to drop her at the nearest port and follow his own damn rules. It’s a dangerous business. The lord in him, however, can’t help but protect the fragile beauty who has demons of her own. But when his past begins to haunt them too, danger lurks around every corner and not even his boat is fast enough to outrun it. Keeping her safe will push him to the breaking point. Keeping his hands off her… Impossible.

He’s the most notorious rake in all of London… Which is why every lord of the realm wants to be friends with the Earl of Somersworth. He’s the life of every ballroom and backroom gaming hell alike. The problem? When he needs a fiancée, not one of those so-called friends will let him anywhere near their sisters or daughters because everyone knows he can’t be trusted. So when Viscount Northville practically tosses his niece in Somersworth’s path, he’s suspicious. There must be something wrong with the lady. Sure, she’s beautiful, and built for sin, but she can’t be right in the head to consider him for a husband. Turns out, she isn’t. Considering him that is. The moment they’re alone, she tells him that she would rather die miserable and alone than marry him. But she does have a bargain in mind. She’ll help him clean up his reputation long enough to find a suitable lady and he’ll help her to secretly participate in all the fun that debutantes are denied. She’s got a list: A masquerade ball. A tryst in the library. A moonlight kiss. It’s his kind of deal. The only other problem? Turns out, she’s his kind of lady…

She might be blind, but even she can SEE that he’s trouble. The moment Mia’s fingers accidentally brush down Lord Kingsley’s rippling chest during a chance encounter at a masquerade ball, she knows that her life will never be the same. Because the passion that flares between them is hot enough to melt all her hesitation away. He’s hell bent on revenge. Until the broken little bird, Mia, lands in his path. But enemies take advantage of distraction and Mia is as stunning as she is passionate making her the worst kind. And thanks to that one ill-fated evening, she is also now his wife. And perhaps an agent of his enemy… Is she part of the plot against him or in grave peril at his side? How far is he willing to go to protect the woman he never wanted but might just be the one person he can’t live without? It’s time to find out…

After being abandoned by her almost-betrothed, Caroline Nash vows to never again get involved with a man. Especially not the middle-aged earl her father has chosen for her.

Stephan senses that this proper miss is more fiery than he expected and he wants more. To be properly introduced to the woman of his dreams, he attends the Prince Regent’s house party. He finds her, begging a friend to pretend to court her – to fend off the man her father has chosen. Stephan couldn’t wish for a better opportunity – he’ll happily court her, but he doesn’t want to pretend. Their connection is sizzling, but can this charade become something real once Stephan’s secrets are revealed?
