Book 2 in Kidnapped Series Nathaniel Jaymes Harden (Nate), rich, good looks, and kind at heart. But when the only girl he's ever love weds another man, he decides to seek revenge against the man that took away his happiness, and what better way to do it than taking away the only other girl the man love most, his sister, Lillianna Nina Chambers (Lillie) and to use the exact same method the man used against his first love: kidnap. ------------ When Lillie feels the rope drop from her wrists, she quickly brought her aching arms around her and examines the red mark on her delicate skin, gently rubbing at them. Pouting her lips, she swirls around to him and inches her wrists closer to him. "Look what you've done!" the pout never leaving her lips. Just one look at her puckered delectable lips and a growl erupts from Nate's throat. Within a flash, his large hands grab hold of each side of her face, the tips of his fingers lost within her soft brown hair. He brought their faces only inches apart. She can see the fiery hunger burning deep within the depths of blue. She can feel herself slowly getting lost in his intense gaze. "Your body's been teasing me all day," his voice low and husky sending a pleasurable jolt down to her core, "and now your lips are begging me to kiss them." He slams his lips down on hers hard, needy and hungrily. Book 1: The Mistake

He seemed to consider her words for a few seconds. "No," He finally said. "What?!" Her pitch rose a notch, disappointment lacing her voice. Taking a step that brought him face to face with her, "If you must be my wife, Blondie, then you must truly be my wife -in name, and in body." He leaned forward, his warm breath tickling her skin as his eyes ran down the length of her. "Frankly," He raised his eyes back to her. "I want all of you. All, or nothing." ____________________________________ Sharon Annabella Freelance is the only daughter of George Freelance, the town's drunk gambler.

"A love not shown is more painful than a love rejected." SHE IS DETERMINED... The town of Wickhurst sees Ysabella Everard as a spoiled, rich young girl. What Ysa believes on the other hand is that she will someday get the man of her dreams and that is no other than the elusive rake William Hayward, the Lord of Wakefield. He also happens to be her brother's friend and the man she had been secretly writing letters to for years as Lady Weis, letters that started in a foolish wager with a friend. But one problem is at hand: he does not know she is Lady Weis, the woman he has fallen in love with, in letters. HE AVOIDS HER AT ALL COST... Wakefield has many rules, but one stands out the most: never dally with a friend's sister or relative, most particularly Ysabella Everard. As the sister of his friend, she is not to be touched at all costs. She has never been on his list from day one and he is quite determined to keep it that way. But years of her obsessive chasing and his desperate attempts to avoid it have not tired the woman at all. She has suitors she ought to focus her attention on and Wakefield cannot understand what she sees in him to waste her precious time over. He cannot be with her for many reasons and one of them was the fact that he was utterly in love, for the first time in his life, with one woman: Lady Weis. THE CHASE BEGINS... Her chase for the man she loves continues. His chase for the identity of the woman he is willing to sacrifice everything for begins. It is merely a matter of time for the truth to be revealed and how they face it has great potential for yet another Wickhurst scandal. Still set in the fictional place of the Town, this fourth book in the Everard Family series follows one heroine who is determined to win her game and her love for the man who might very well be her first ever failure. (This story is a standalone title in the Everard Family series.)
