However, there is one woman who also refers to him as nothing more than a friend. Unfortunately, she is also the only woman he has ever desired, even though she is most decidedly off-limits to a man like him. After all, gentlemen do not even remotely consider courting their best friend's sister. Lady Sarah Tillsbury has known Rayne nearly all of her life - and believed him to be out of her reach for just as long. Even if Rayne was not more family to her than potential husband, he is also known for the trail of broken hearts he has left littered across much of polite society. However when a misguided letter sends Rayne chasing Sarah across the English countryside to her family's country estate, neither of them can continue to deny what has been brewing between them for so long. Will Rayne finally come to terms with the fact that he gave away his heart long ago and will Sarah be brave enough to claim the love she has desired for so long? less

Abducted by the man she thought was her one true love and forced to suffer at his hands, she knows that she will be shamed by Society if the truth is discovered. The best way to keep her secret? Find a husband. Quickly. The only problem is, how can she ever trust a man, any man, again? Lord Lewis Blackmore, third son of the Marquess of Dunleighton, is currently in the employ of Bow Street and no woman's hero. He simply happened to be at the right place at the right time to save Lady Sophia from a lifetime in exile in Scotland. However, he never imagined that he would see her again until his job forces him to her family's doorstep. When he is spotted departing Reynolds House, tongues across London begin to wag, wondering if the dashing yet scarred former military man is truly courting Sophia. Can Sophia turn the gossip surrounding her and Lewis to her advantage? Will Lewis agree to play the ardent suitor until the gossip subsides? If he does, will Sophia be able to resist his charms? Or is there more between them than a shared secret from a dark night several months before? less

Handsome, womanizing Lord Evan Haddington, the new Marquess of Berkshire, has only recently inherited his title from his deceased uncle. With the title comes wealth, power, social standing, estates, jewels...and Cassandra, the very troublesome and not-exactly-young ward of his late uncle... moreHandsome, womanizing Lord Evan Haddington, the new Marquess of Berkshire, has only recently inherited his title from his deceased uncle. With the title comes wealth, power, social standing, estates, jewels...and Cassandra, the very troublesome and not-exactly-young ward of his late uncle. Saddled with a sharp-tongued woman that he must protect or risk losing his claim upon the marquisate, Evan is also faced with the rather pressing need to take a wife - one who most likely will not care for the rather bossy female already in his life. Miss Cassandra Grove has been called to London to claim her inheritance from her late aunt, the Marchioness of Berkshire. Instead of finding a solicitor at the door, however, she is met by the obstinate new marquess who refuses to turn over a business that is rightfully Cassandra's by law. Still, after a year of living under the same roof while the details are sorted out, she and Evan have finally reached an uneasy truce. However his upcoming wife hunt now threatens to upset the precarious peace the household enjoys. When another man hopes to use Cassandra to strip Evan of his title, both of them come to the conclusion that they must prevent such a thing at all costs - even if it means they both must make sacrifices - including an unwanted marriage to each other. Can they make this tenuous union work or are they - and the future of the marquisate - doomed from the start? less
