Becky is the envy of the courtesans of the demi-monde - the indulged mistress of the wealthy and charismatic Marquis of Aldridge. But she dreams of a normal life; one in which her daughter can have a future that does not depend on beauty, sex, and the whims of a man. Finding herself with child, she hesitates to tell Aldridge. Will he cast her off, send her away, or keep her and condemn another child to this uncertain shadow world? The devil-may-care face Hugh shows to the world hides a desperate sorrow; a sorrow he tries to drown with drink and riotous living. His years at war haunt him, but even more, he doesn't want to think about the illness that robbed him of the ability to father a son. When he dies, his barony will die with him. His title will fall into abeyance, and his estate will be scooped up by the Crown. When Aldridge surprises them both with a daring proposition, they do not expect love to be part of the bargain. (This book has been published, and is available at most eretailers and in print.)

What could be better? But a crack appears in that fun when Danielle receives a job offer in California. Danielle has been nose-to-the-grindstone through private school, Yale, and working weekends at Beckett's family pub. But her tidy world slips into a tailspin when Beckett tells her he wants her to stay rather than take the job in California.

With fireworks shooting through the star-sprinkled summer sky, with family surrounding him, Beckett will do everything in his power to make Danielle part of his family for good.

Tragedy robbed her of her innocence and stole her voice before she had the chance to speak out. The court called her a liar, and the guilty was set free. Now memories plague her mind and trap her in solitude. She was forced to learn sign language, struggling to find a way to voice her silence. He's the definition of the boy she tried to stay away from. The epitome of harsh rumors and hopeless fantasies. The source of lies and blame. He's analyzed, misunderstood, and utterly mysterious. And he may be the one to find her voice. When they meet, she gets accustomed to his arrogance and he gets accustomed to her silence.
