  The Irish Earl

  Rich and beautiful, Lady Felicity Winterbourne has traveled the world, seeking only a home of her own. While there are many gentlemen eager to oblige her, she knows that their ardor has more to do with her lavish dowry than true affection. When she meets Gerald FitzDesmond, Earl of Kilgarvan, his tales of his ramshackle Irish estate seize her imagination. Felicity abandons decorum and proposes a marriage of convenience—with the proviso, lest Gerald prove a fortune-hunter, that she hold the purse strings! His dark looks and roguish charm, however, soon complicate her most practical action with the dizziest of desires.

  Lord Freddie's First Love

  Despite having proposed to more than a dozen women, Viscount Frederick remains one of London’s most eligible bachelors. His pride stinging from his latest rejection, Freddie leaves London for his country estate.

  After six years abroad, Anne Webster returned to New Biddeford with a child at her side—a child whose unruly red hair and mischievous green eyes left society no doubt as to the identity of his mother! Though five-year-old Ian is really Anne's nephew, nothing could erase the stigma with which she had been branded. Anne's girlhood companion, Viscount Frederick, was the only person to offer friendship—and then, a rapturous love. And yet, how could Anne allow Freddie to destroy his life by marrying a woman with a tarnished reputation such as hers?

  A Most Suitable Duchess

  Marcus Heywood, the new Duke of Torringford, must take a wife in three weeks or lose the country estate he's unexpectedly inherited. His brother, Reginald, suggests an advertisement in the papers, something Marcus refuses to consider—until a wine-fueled evening when he pens one in jest. Now, in a horrible mix-up, the ad has been printed and Marcus is mortified.

  At all of twenty-one years, Penelope's spinsterhood seems confirmed; she'll never find a man she can marry. But her half-brother thinks otherwise, and without her knowledge, he answers the Duke of Torringford's advertisement for a wife and signs her name to it. When an announcement of her upcoming wedding to the Duke appears in the papers, Penelope knows she must take her place as his wife, or her honor will be ruined. But it will be a marriage in name only, that she's sure of; until the handsome good looks and warm smile of her new husband make her heart pound in a most unsettling way...

  An Unlikely Alliance

  Gypsy fortune teller Mademoiselle Magda has taken London by storm with her uncanny predictions—and only Lord Kerrigan suspects that she is not what she claims to be. And he is right, for poverty had thrust seamstress Magda Beaumont, the child of a French physician and a Russian gypsy princess, into passing herself off as a tarot reader to the ton. But lacking her mother's powers, Magda drew the wrong card and made an enemy of the Earl, who causes her pulse to race whenever he's near. He sets out to expose her, only to find himself captivated by the beautiful young woman.

  But when Magda’s predictions threaten to expose a villainous plot, she finds herself in deadly danger. Now Magda and Lord Kerrigan must join forces to solve a decade-old murder. And as Kerrigan comes closer to discovering the truth, Magda fervently wishes she could predict the future—to see if she will lose a love that promises splendid bliss.
