Troubled Beauty Like an avenging angel, he overwhelmed her attackers, leaving one dead and another running for his life. She awoke to darkness and terror, alone in a barn with a stranger named Paul, bloodied yet bandaged with her own tattered petticoats. She remembered nothing, not her own name, not that she was pregnant—only the smoldering brown eyes of Paul, who had killed to save her and was now a wanted man... moreTroubled Beauty Like an avenging angel, he overwhelmed her attackers, leaving one dead and another running for his life. She awoke to darkness and terror, alone in a barn with a stranger named Paul, bloodied yet bandaged with her own tattered petticoats. She remembered nothing, not her own name, not that she was pregnant—only the smoldering brown eyes of Paul, who had killed to save her and was now a wanted man. Suddenly he was her universe, a stranger who would lie for her, die for her, share the same bed, the same passions as they plummeted into the dangerous secrets of her past. Dark Savior She had no name but the name he gave her. She knew nothing about him save what he chose to tell her—and Paul Lescaut couldn't afford to tell her the truth. It was as if he were born to protect her, to hold her, as if this strange beauty were his fate. Only when he learned her true identity did he know the thrill of fear. In their flight from common enemies they plundered each other's passions, body and soul. But once she knew his true identity, would she see him as the enemy and try to drive him from her life forever. less

He called it love... Emma Blair could not suspect the truth behind the English soldier who introduced himself as Robert Melton, Napoleon's enemy, Wellington's man. She couldn't know his secret mission, or the role she would unwittingly play. She knew only that he was irresistible—and dangerous— an officer who, like her own late husband, would put the call of the drum above all else. Unless she could blind him to duty and brand him with desire.. moreHe called it love...

She couldn't know his secret mission, or the role she would unwittingly play. She knew only that he was irresistible—and dangerous— an officer who, like her own late husband, would put the call of the drum above all else. Unless she could blind him to duty and brand him with desire... All he had was his wife's family ring and the memory of her brutal murder as he struck out to find the killer and uncover her shrouded past. Robert's obsession led him to Scotland, to the Blairs, to Emma, who stunned him with her resemblance to his dead wife, a woman she had never known. Here, in the midst of blood feuds and unspeakable family secrets, he would find his answers—even as he abandoned all caution for a love whose very enemy was truth... less

She begged him for help... Francis Storbridge was once her best friend—though he had always wished for more. But Charlotte de Ribard sent him away, accusing him of collaborating in her blackguard father's most terrible crime. Now, years later, Francis is a member of Parliament and Charlotte's only hope to save her family from disgrace. In desperation, she appealed to the man she tried to hate, prepared to risk anything—except her heart and the passion she'd buried so long ago... moreShe begged him for help...

Now it was his turn to earn her trust by honoring their bargain, to protect her from her powerful, ruthless father. Only then could he tempt her to the sweetest abandon of all, the kind only love can bring. less
