Blayne "Blay" Shaw is a woman graced with beauty, passion, and a painful secret that haunts her mind. The daughter of The Lion, she is used to being revered and protected, until she makes a fatal mistake that sends her life wayward-and into a situation she never thought she would be put in; being kidnapped. Through sheer desperation and fury, she retaliates against her attackers and escapes, not realizing that her actions hold a dark consequence. Finding a drunk woman, stumbling around the woods she had just set aflame, is not what Alec McGregor expected to see when he is warned of danger. Assumed to be a rake who seduces anything with legs, Alec has a reputation that deceives his calculative mind-and his love of solving mysteries, which is precisely what this inebriated woman gives him...until things turn from chaotic to dangerous. No longer is Alec trying to figure out who she is, but now he's faced with helping her come to terms with her past-and faced with coming to terms with his own feelings for a woman who could not be more wrong for him. When Blay realizes her family is in true danger, they begin to realize their feelings for each other are growing, yet their battles are different. Alec wants nothing more than to help the insane woman he's come to care for, but when she won't accept his help with even the slightest task, her stubbornness may drive her right into the arms of danger itself.

Miss Helena Wainwright is determined to see her nieces and nephew well settled with their new guardian, the Duke of Rotherham. After six months of transition, the children are beginning to bond with their uncle, but Helena and the Duke aren’t able to get much past the barest of civilities. Now that the duke is poised to offer for the shy Miss Fanshawe, Helena is horrified to discover an awful secret about the young lady and her scheming mother. What is she going to do--keep the secret or reveal all in her own bid for the duke’s heart? Ready to settle down and provide a stable environment for his wards, Vernon Wroxby, the Duke of Rotherham, has decided the amenable Miss Fanshawe will do, even if he dislikes her outspoken, uncouth mama. If he could just quit wondering what Miss Wainwright is doing (and with whom) he’d be able to appreciate the match a bit more. But as his wards begin to rebel against the idea of this marriage, and he starts to realize that his affections really reside with Miss Wainwright, will one determined marriage-mart mama ruin any chance he might have for true happiness?

Tackling her had been a mistake. The feel of the soft curves pushed up against him was overwhelmingly sensual and he'd been too damn long without a woman. Jesus the lass was as soft as a kitten. Mumbling a curse; he held her down and warned, "Don't move lass, I won't hurt you" There was something dark and promising in his voice that sent a shiver down her spine. He felt oddly familiar and some of her tension eased. "Who are you? What do you want?" she asked breathlessly, trying to force air back into her lungs.....

Sold for a title by her social climbing father, Lydia has one chance to run away with love. Lydia Covington has adored Irishman Brian Donnelly for years, but he is a retired soldier with no connections—hardly a suitable choice for the daughter of Britain's next Prime Minister. To make matters worse, she is engaged to the slovenly Viscount Northbridge, a man she can barely tolerate let alone love. Brian vowed long ago to be satisfied in a life without love. Orphaned at the age of two, he knows well how fragile life can be. However, four years ago he took one glance at the beautiful Lydia, and the one thing he swore would never happen did—he fell hopelessly in love. After witnessing a brutal murder, Lydia and Brian are kidnapped and whisked to the north of England by crime lord Felix Keith. Narrowly escaping certain death, the two race through the countryside, evading ruthless pursuers and untangling a web of lies and deception. Despite Brian's attraction, his goal is focused—to see Lydia safely home to her father and betrothed. She, however, is only too content to stay lost, tripping through the countryside with her handsome Irish protector. As their bond grows, can Lydia convince this wounded soul to take the ultimate chance on love before it's too late? Or will Brian retreat and close his heart to the one woman who could change his life forever? Purchase Link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0081VIATS
