Wild and willful Victoria Colton had only one desire: to go to Africa and travel the world in search of adventure. Disrupting her plans comes an ultimatum from her guardians, weary of Victoria's hoydenish ways. By the end of the London Season, Victoria must find a husband or her inheritance will be withheld. Finding himself in the same boat as Victoria, Gabriel Sinclair must find a wife or the Hawthorne title is passed to incapable relatives. Having spent half their lives detesting each other, they are now suddenly united with one common goal in mind: to remain unwed, even to each other.

Emily Weatherly was no gently-bred London debutante. In fact, she had thrived on the streets of London, a pickpocket and urchin, until Fate threw her lot in with the Weatherly's, a prestigious family who unselfishly raised her as their own and protect her from a heinous secret that could destroy her life. Despite this, she is never truly accepted as a proper lady, always scorned and ridiculed, and she vows to do her adopted family proud by making a respectable match with a gentleman of some rank and notoriety. Sebastian Weatherly harbors a secret that could thwart his carefully constructed bachelorhood. Indiscriminate rake, scoundrel and downright rogue, he has had to endure Emily Weatherly's presence for as long as he could remember. Now that she intends to make a respectable match, which he knows cannot ever be him as he is not respectable, he can hardly ignore the bitter jealousy residing in his heart as he is forced to watch Emily courted by various beaus.

Heaven Sent (The Wrong One) has been re-titled, The Viscount's Heir, under Dragonblade Publishing. It is the second book in the Heirs of Cornwall Series and the story of Cassie's older brother, Allayne, heir of Viscount Rose. Please note, this copy is a PREVIEW ONLY. A professed bachelor, Allayne Carlyle refuses to heed to his mother's constant grousing on his lack of marital interest. He is simply tired of it all--his mother's unending parade of debutantes that she hopes might gain his attention, and the ceaseless teasing and ribbing from his best friends, Jeremy and Richard, who are both happily married. Which is the reason why, he will indulge his mother's request one last time--that he spend a fortnight at a house party in Bath, supposedly to meet an earl's daughter or some such, which is just another way of disguising the fact that his mother intended to have him leg-shackled to yet another insipid debutante. But what a pleasant adventure the trip is coming around to--who cares about the earl's daughter, when her beautiful maid makes his heart pound and his loins...well, never mind. For the first time in his adult life, he is certainly looking forward to fulfilling his mother's schemes like the good son he is, albeit, with a slight change in plans.
