by Emma V. Leech


  “On one condition,” Henry said gravely as his hands dropped to her bottom.

  His arousal was obvious, making desire swell inside her in hot, rippling waves.

  “What’s that, Henry?” she asked breathlessly.

  “Don’t ever stop.”

  Next in the Daring Daughters Series….

  Their mothers dared all for love.

  Just imagine what their daughters will do…

  The Trouble with a Dare

  Daring Daughters Book 6

  A Desperate Young Lady…

  Miss Grace Weston is in trouble. In fact, Miss Weston is in about the worst trouble a young unmarried lady can get herself into. No amount of regretting will change the fact that she was nitwit enough to be seduced by a handsome face and a lot of romantic nonsense. No amount of weeping will change the fact that she will have a child out of wedlock. She will break her parents’ hearts and taint the whole family with her shame.

  Her folly will forever exclude her from the society to which she belongs...

  Unless something extraordinary happens.

  A Quiet Man…

  Mr Sterling Oak is a man of few words. Raised by his ambitious father to be a gentleman, he treads a line between his family’s lowly past and the society that scorns him. An educated farmer with a fine house and dirt beneath his nails, he hides behind silence rather than reveal the man he really is.

  When Sterling’s keen eye detects that which no one else has yet noticed, something moves him to make the delicately lovely Miss Weston an offer of marriage.

  A Devil’s Bargain…

  Grace does not know what to make of Mr Oak. He appears little more than a big, mannerless brute with a scowl, a man who would rather grunt a reply than endure a conversation. Yet what choice has she? Her husband to be is fierce and intimidating, but Grace is desperate, and not as fragile as her fair beauty may suggest.

  Accepting the devil’s bargain is probably the second worst mistake of her life…

  Unless it turns out to be the beginning of something wonderful.

  To Dare a Duke

  Girls Who Dare Book 1

  Dreams of true love and happy ever afters

  Dreams of love are all well and good, but all Prunella Chuffington-Smythe wants is to publish her novel. Marriage at the price of her independence is something she will not consider. Having tasted success writing under a false name in The Lady’s Weekly Review, her alter ego is attaining notoriety and fame and Prue rather likes it.

  A Duty that must be endured

  Robert Adolphus, The Duke of Bedwin, is in no hurry to marry, he’s done it once and repeating that disaster is the last thing he desires. Yet, an heir is a necessary evil for a duke and one he cannot shirk. A dark reputation precedes him though, his first wife may have died young, but the scandals the beautiful, vivacious and spiteful creature supplied the ton have not. A wife must be found. A wife who is neither beautiful nor vivacious but sweet and dull, and certain to stay out of trouble.

  Dared to do something drastic

  The sudden interest of a certain dastardly duke is as bewildering as it is unwelcome. She’ll not throw her ambitions aside to marry a scoundrel just as her plans for self-sufficiency and freedom are coming to fruition. Surely showing the man she’s not actually the meek little wallflower he is looking for should be enough to put paid to his intentions? When Prue is dared by her friends to do something drastic, it seems the perfect opportunity to kill two birds.

  However, Prue cannot help being intrigued by the rogue who has inspired so many of her romances. Ordinarily, he plays the part of handsome rake, set on destroying her plucky heroine. But is he really the villain of the piece this time, or could he be the hero?

  Finding out will be dangerous, but it just might inspire her greatest story yet.

  A feisty young maiden

  Temptation, in the form of the lovely Lady Clarinda Bow, is a constant threat to his peace of mind, enticing him to be something he isn’t.
