Christopher Roker made a name for himself in the military. The rigor and pragmatism of the army suits him. When a tragic accident heaves Kit into a role he never wanted or expected, his world collides with another type of duty. Returning to England and his newfound responsibilities, the Wicked Earls’ Club becomes a refuge from the glitter and malice of London society but cannot ease his emptiness.

When the chance to return to the military becomes a valid possibility, the earl finds himself wavering between his old life and the lure of an exceptional—and unwilling—woman.

As his mother is a great adopter of the needy—human and canine both—he presumes the young lady is one more lost soul to be rescued. He determines he’ll have nothing to do with the project, as he’s far too busy working for the queen. Though, he does find Miss Wilcox very pleasant to look at. More than pleasant, actually.

Bold, courageous, and determined, Leana Sinclair is the lone survivor of a horrific fire that stole everything from her.

Even her true identity.

She’s waited for years to get revenge on her clan’s enemies and the time has come. It might be Yuletide, but she’ll not be celebrating.

Nor will she be distracted by Tavish Maclean, the soon-to-be-laird of the very clan she loathes. The tall, intimidating and quick-to-smile Tavish might be the most braw man she has ever met but that won’t change anything.

He’s also the most dangerous—because he knows her secret.

Tavish hasn’t seen Leana since childhood but he knows the lass isn’t telling the truth. He’s no fool. He’d recognize those green eyes anywhere. And while he might not have been interested in curious green eyes when he was a bairn, he’s interested now.

In truth, he’s interested in all of her and that’s no bad thing. His clan is pressuring him to marry her and put an end to the rumors that his family was behind the devastating fire that killed off many of the head members of Leana’s clan. He knows they were innocent of any wrongdoing but what better way to show that than to create a lifetime connection with the Sinclairs?

However, it seems someone else knows her secret too, and might well be willing to hurt her to make it remain so. Somehow, Tavish must protect the foolhardy woman from herself and her unknown enemy, all the while fighting a desire strong enough to bring any Highlander to his knees.

She can’t make a baby without a husband! Or can she?

After witnessing the miracle of birth, self-determined spinster Miss Penelope Crone is having second thoughts about swearing off marriage. She wants – no, she needs – to experience the blessed event herself. Dear God, she’s practically thirty! Time is running out!

Hugh Chesterton, Viscount Danbury, is relatively intelligent, good looking, unmarried, and most importantly, close at hand. With a little décolletage, a sway of the hips, and a few drinks of brandy, Penelope is certain she can extract a respectable offer.

If only she’d accounted for the power of passion.

Because unchecked lust takes over, leaving Penelope in a most precarious predicament. And Lord Danbury –– the goose-brained jackanapes –– is proving far less attainable than she’d imagined.

Is Penelope to be cast out of society or will Lord Danbury take a leap of faith and save her from ruin? He’d better act fast if he’s going to make her his lady. His Lady At Last…

Godric St. Laurent, Duke of Essex:

A rake.

A scoundrel.

And now he’s a kidnapper.

Godric St. Laurent, Duke of Essex, relishes the rakish reputation society has branded him with. He has no plans to marry anytime soon—if ever. When he kidnaps an embezzler’s niece for revenge, the difficult debutante’s blend of sweetness and sharp tongue both infuriate and intrigue him.

Miss Emily Parr is determined to rid herself of domineering men in her life. Her plan is in shambles after she’s kidnapped by the incorrigible duke. As she tries to outwit him, she finds herself… enjoying not only the scorching kisses he steals but also his companionship. Of course the most wicked and unweddable man she’s ever met would be the one she can’t imagine living without.

As they surrender to passion, danger from Godric’s past threatens to destroy the one thing he and Emily swore they never wanted: love.
