The fire that claimed the Earl of Foster's father and brother left him scarred in every sense of the word. But despite the guilt and his mother’s hatred, Benedict took on the duties that came with the earldom. Including looking after his new ward—the orphaned daughter of his mother’s closest friend. He expects a timid child to arrive on his doorstep, not a tantalizingly gorgeous young lady in need of a husband. The irritating beauty manages to rile more than just his temper, and he soon finds himself seeking her out for arguments that inevitably end with his lips on hers. His hands on her body. It isn’t right. It’s not what she deserves. But the temptation is too much. The only honorable solution is to marry the girl himself. Only, Philippa has secrets of her own, and her past has her living a nightmare. She knows what her guardian has in store for her, but she's not looking for marriage to a good man. And despite his growls and his threats, Benedict is good. Better than he knows. Better than she deserves. less

This scandalous rake only meant to save a damsel in distress…not claim her as his own. The Marquess of Hayden might have his flaws, but he's never reneged on a bet. If the rumors are true, and the so-called Mad Earl truly does have a daughter, then Hayden will find her. But nothing can prepare him for the instant attraction he feels when he does... moreThis scandalous rake only meant to save a damsel in distress…not claim her as his own. The Marquess of Hayden might have his flaws, but he's never reneged on a bet. If the rumors are true, and the so-called Mad Earl truly does have a daughter, then Hayden will find her. But nothing can prepare him for the instant attraction he feels when he does. Hidden away from society, the beautiful and mysterious Madeline seems more like a princess from a fairy tale than an illegitimate child of the infamous tyrant. When he learns that she’s a prisoner in her own home, a victim of the earl and his cruel bride, it’s clear what he has to do. Or rather, it seemed clear when he’d been deep in his cups. Unfortunately, his botched attempt at a rescue leaves them both in more trouble than he’d imagined. But now it’s his duty to keep Madeline safe and the only way to do that is to marry. There are worse fates than to be shackled with the woman who’d bewitched him. Once the maiden is out of her tower and in his bed, he finds she’s no damsel but an enchantress who knows how to keep him lusting for more. So no…not exactly torture. They might even find happiness together—except that the marquess isn’t known for his ability to commit, and the lady he’s married has secrets that threaten any trust they might have forged. It was desire at first sight that brought him into her life, and dirty deeds in the bedroom that keeps them together…but will they find a love to make it last? Note: This series is part of Dragonblade's Flame line, so this is a sexy, steamy, and scorching-hot read with multiple sex scenes. Be advised. less
