When she meets Geoffrey Austen, the Duke of Sutton, attraction sizzles to scorch and her perspective changes as stolen days and nights ignite forbidden passion. But when Geoffrey asks Serena to be his mistress, she refuses. She wants commitment, love, and marriage, not an affair with a notorious Duke. Little does she know that her brother has plans to use her for his own advantage – plans which she discovers when it is too late, and she is already trapped. Geoffrey Austen, the Duke of Sutton, realizes, only when he has left her, that Serena might be the one woman who can care for his tortured soul, and maybe release his demons. But the magic they shared is shattered when he learns that she is betrothed to another. At first, he despairs – until he discovers that, despite what her brother claims, she has not gone to it willingly. She is trapped behind fortress walls, and Geoffrey vows to save her, even at the cost of his life. Can he save her? Will Geoffrey’s gallantry prove that he truly loves Serena? Will Serena surrender all to him if he survives? Read the whole series!

But her brother’s new wife wants her, and her ward, gone from the house… and Cassandra is more and more convinced that she is in danger. Beautiful and innocent, she has attracted the attention of a renowned rake, the Duke of Althorn, for he accidentally overheard the moment of her being jilted. Gordon Sedgewick, the Duke of Althorn, has never met a woman who interested him enough to consider marriage. Yet, for some reason, the innocent Lady Cassandra intrigues him. When a sojourn in Brighton brings them into close contact, that fascination grows intense. But he is shocked when she brings a proposal to him – a proposal which will guarantee her safety, and provide him with a caregiver for his ailing mother.
