Romance, deception, murder...

Jackson Rafferty, second son of the eleventh Earl of Devlin, held his dying brother in his arms and swore he’d avenge his murder. That pact made in blood led him to the back halls of Kingston Manor and the woman who would stand between him and pursuing the man Jack knew had killed his brother.

Miss Jenevieve Kingston has a secret. Keeping it is the only thing keeping her father alive. When a rogue by the name of Jack Dawson comes dangerously close to spoiling everything, Jenna forces him from her home. But not before he has worked his way into her heart.

Now he’s back, proving he is not who she thought he was.

But how can she trust him after weeks of deception?

THE DARK DUKE

VICTORIAN ROMANCE

LADY AMANDA RADBURN was the most outspoken, opinionated, impertinent, and irritating woman the DUKE OF HADLEIGH had ever met. She delighted in insulting him, and arguing over the most insignificant matters. Yet when helping her was the only way he could restore a world that included a sister he loved but had driven away with his dominating ways, he realized he had stepped into a dark world of danger and intrigue. Now he is in peril of not only losing his own life, but the life of the woman he realizes he has come to love. Regretting his unguarded words that forced her to close her heart to him, he pursues her into a future that has turned dangerously dark.

Yet when helping her was the only way he could restore a world that included a sister he loved but had driven away with his own dominating ways, he realized he had stepped into a dark world of danger and intrigue. Now he is in peril of not only losing his own life, but the life of the woman he realizes has stolen his heart.

A RISK WORTH TAKING

Griffin Blackmoor blames himself for the tragic accident that claimed his wife and young son.

2019 A MATTER OF CHOICE Anniversary ed m

But even if she’s able to find someone able to protect her, what man will marry her once they discover her secret?

KEEPER OF MY HEART

1494 Scotland
Màiri MacBride had one desire—to escape to a convent and hide her gift from the world that would rather see her dead than exercising her second sight. It wasn’t as if she could see events that would happen in the future. Her gift was much simpler than that. With a look or a touch, she could detect evil intent and deception. And for that, even her father wanted her dead.

INTIMATE SURRENDER

The bewitchingly beautiful Hannah Bartlett never meant to fall in love, and certainly not with a vicar. But when she meets Vicar Rafe Waterford, she discovers a warmth and tenderness she’s searched for her entire life. Not until it’s too late does she realize that Rafe holds more than the key to her heart; he possesses the power to destroy her—especially when he discovers who she really is.

NOT MINE TO GIVE

In a blood-drenched midnight vow, Lady Katherine Downing pledged she would keep the Bishop’s crown safe from the Scottish lads who’d stolen it, and return it to England where it belonged. And by king’s edict, she would then wed the Earl of Rivershorn, William Bolton. But a man as evil as Bolton could never have her hand…or her heart. Not once she’d kissed her Scot.

INTIMATE DECEPTION

When Lady Grace Warren’s father sells her in marriage to the depraved Lord Fentington, she knows only the most drastic action will save her. After all, a woman possesses only one item of value: her virtue. Without it, Fentington will not want her—nor will any other man. But at least she will be free. Now she must find a man with whom to pass the fateful night, who will ask no questions, make no other demands. Because for a woman preparing to risk everything no ordinary man will do.
