Never Defy a Duke
At a Victorian house party in the stormy English countryside, a marquess set to inherit a dukedom must find the perfect bride, but he craves the one woman he can never marry. Grayson Hawkridge, soon to be Duke of Carthwaite, has been summoned to his ancestral family home by his dying father. The ailing duke has one command—find the perfect bride at the house party that has been arranged by two elderly matchmakers for Gray's benefit. Unfortunately, the only woman who truly intrigues him is the vexing redhead he can never have. Evangeline Granger does her best to avoid Gray, Marquess of Rothwell, whenever she encounters him at the society functions her aunt is forever hosting. She has no intention of ever marrying, and the man disturbs her peace of mind. He's far too attractive, too magnetic, and thoroughly out of her reach for anything other than the maddening banter that seems to spark between them whenever they're in each other's proximity.
Scandalous Wager
Set against the backdrop of London's dangerous East End in 1888, Victorian propriety and passions collide when a spinster strikes a scandalous bargain with a detective caught up in the investigation of the Ripper mystery. Elizabeth Ainsworth has decided she will never marry. Years spent on the shelf have taught her plain looks and a distinct lack of ladylike talents won't win a proposal from any of the eligible young constables or inspectors her Detective Chief Inspector father invites to their home. Most of them are too busy staring at her younger, prettier sister anyway. And Lizzy is content to be a spinster, especially if it means she can continue with her charity work in Whitechapel. But...
One Tempting Proposal
Becoming engaged? Simple. Resisting temptation? Impossible. Sebastian Fennick, the newest Duke of Wrexford, prefers the straightforwardness of mathematics to romantic nonsense.

After five seasons of snubbing suitors and making small talk, Lady Kitty has seen all the ton has to offer…and she’s not impressed. But when Kitty’s overbearing father demands she must marry before her beloved younger sister can, she proposes a plan to the handsome duke. Kitty’s schemes always seem to backfire, but she knows this one can’t go wrong. After all, she’s not the least bit tempted by Sebastian, is she? An Avon Romance

The Duke and Lady Scandal

When she overhears a g...
A Study in Scoundrels
Sophia Ruthven is the epitome of proper behavior. On paper at least, as long as that paper isn’t from one of the lady detective stories she secretly pens. She certainly isn’t interested in associating with the dashing Jasper Grey, the wayward heir to the Earl of Stanhope, and one of the stage’s leading men. But when she learns Grey’s younger sister Liddy has gone missing, she can’t deny her desire to solve the mystery…or her attraction to the incorrigible scoundrel. Responsibility isn’t something Grey is very familiar with. On the boards and in the bedroom, he lives exactly how he wants to, shunning all the trappings of respectability and society. Grey knows he should avoid the bewitching Sophia, but he’s never been able to say no to what he wants. And having Sophia in his arms and his bed is quickly becoming the thing he wants the most. As Sophia and Grey’s search for Liddy continues across the English countryside, can this scoundrel convince a proper lady that he’s actually perfect for her or will their adventure leave them both heartbroken?
