She was supposed to be safe. He was supposed to be sensible. Neither planned on falling. ✧ Everyone agrees that the plain, wealthy Lady Noelle Hathaway is perfect for marriage. Sensible. Dutiful. Modest. The kind of woman men marry after their daring escapades in youth tire them. She's a stickler for rules and propriety. She'd rather tend to her roses than ruffle society's feathers. Which was precisely why Viscount Radley, now the new Lord Windmere, needed to marry her. A charming rogue, he lives for the chase. No woman has kept his attentions for long, and that's how he's always preferred it. No attachments. No tears. But then his father's will forces him into marriage, where he must be wed for six months or risk the estate being sold. So he comes up with a scheme for a temporary wife. And who better than Lady Hathaway? She's safe territory. Boring, even. With his rakish past and scandal-laden reputation, marrying her is the obvious, sensible choice. She would never stir his heart. Until she starts interfering with her old-fashioned opinions. Until those sad eyes unsettle him more than a thousand strings of reckless adventures ever did. Until he realises that she is temptation wrapped in propriety. Now he is discovering that the quiet ones burn with fire the brightest, and the hardest hearts fall the fastest.

Matthew Humphrey is a disappointment. He's a lazy, unscrupulous, wastrel who spends too much time in his cups or with a pretty woman in his bed. At least, that's what the Ton believes. Unbeknownst to everyone - including his family - Matt has found a purpose; one that would put more than just his own life at risk if it were discovered! Between spying on the scum that dwell amongst the peerage and maintaining his disastrous reputation, the last thing he needs is a distraction. When the fierce and fiery Beatrice forces her way into his family - her own ambitions hinging on his youngest sister's education - their clash is as predictable as it is intense. The pair find themselves thrown together in a battle of wit and snark, and Bea is certain Matt is little more than a vapid lordling whose carelessness could ruin the life she has built for herself. But as chance and necessity force an unlikely partnership, she begins to doubt that all is as it seems with the youngest Lord Humphrey. As mischief and mayhem give way to vitriol and violence, the spitfire and the scoundrel must choose to trust each other - with their hopes, lives, and true selves - or risk losing everything. ** Book 4 of the Humphrey Chronicles **

Facing an arranged marriage she cannot escape, Eleanor 'Nell' Ainsworth is determined to experience passion at least once before it is taken from her forever. Her solution is scandalous, improper, and wildly tempting: Lord Anthony Dashcombe.

[18+] COLLEGE ICE HOCKEY ROMANCE *~*~* Conrad Taylor is an asshole - everyone knows that. But when you're the star player of the hockey team, your father is one of the richest men in the country, and you have the looks of a tortured fallen angel, not many people seem to care.

And boy, are they nice shoulders. *~*~* Sophie Pritchett craves normalcy after a lifetime of self-imposed isolation. With her dad's support and her therapist's gentle encouragement, she finally feels ready to step out into the world - or at least into a shared off-campus apartment with a few strangers.

Her struggles with personal boundaries and social settings make it more than obvious that she's weird - and that's not including her strange obsession. When the hockey team starts volunteering at the hospital where Sophie teaches art therapy, she suddenly has the perfect excuse to feed that obsession - one that just happens to have Conrad Taylor written all over it. But when an unlikely friendship begins to form between Sophie, Conrad, and Casey - a witty little boy who's been dealt an unfair hand in life - Sophie learns there's a lot more hidden beneath the rude, sarcastic, and cold exterior of Conrad. Maybe he's just a broken little boy with a heart that feels too much. *~*~* Grumpy/Sunshine - Bad boy/Good girl - hates everyone except her Romance with a Brooke Bennett spin on it😜 Book 2 in the Campus Kings Series, but can be read as a STAND-ALONE.
