After the death of her father, she taught herself to live on a pauper’s allowance—until a charming visitor promises her the funds that had been stolen from her through the years. But Freddie isn’t comfortable with the trappings of money—or the attentions of a handsome stranger from London…
But can a man make a lady?
After the war, Lord Gideon Haverston resolved to never again burden himself with the troubles of others. Still, he was expecting to be greeted as a hero by the beautiful, if eccentric, young woman his stepmother cheated out of house and home, not suspected as a conspirator.

“Seductive… Filled with rapier-sharp repartee, passion, and espionage.”—Sophia Nash, RITA Award-winning author
As the illegitimate daughter of a scandalous woman, Miss Anna Rees is almost as well-known for having been raised in the hedonistic demimonde as she is for her quiet nature. Anna longs to leave behind her mother’s world of courtesans…until she unexpectedly meets the handsome, charming, and decidedly wicked Lord Dane. If only she could convince him to join her in search of respectability…
For him, vice is a virtue
Viscount Maximilian Dane is perfectly content being a rake. After years of obeying the dictates of proper society—with disastrous results—he stopped following the ton’s ridiculous rules, and he sees no reason to begin courting respectability anew. Except that it may be the only way for him to win the lovely and fascinating Miss Anna Rees—if only he could convince her that the grass is greener on the wicked side of the fence…

". . .Rapier wit and comedic timing lure readers into a romance that proves laughter is best shared with those you love." —RT Book Reviews
"The characters of Whit and Mira are what drive this story, and they are delightful. Whit is just the right mix of aristocratic power and quick witted intelligence with an added mix of wonderful concern for those in his care. Mira is brave and intelligent with a strong self image despite her horrible circumstances of birth. It was hard not to root for them to find love together." —Goodreads

To Miss Evie Cole, ignorance was never bliss. That principle had driven her to become quite adept at a most unladylike pursuit—eavesdropping. And it was while honing this skill that she heard her guardians’ elaborate scheme to find her a husband. Too bad she’d vowed never to marry. At least she knew the peril they were planning to help entrap her was only pretend.
What she didn’t hear would change everything. James McAlistair wasn’t supposed to be part of the bargain. Not only was the retired assassin dark, silent and intimidating, but Evie also happened to know from an accidental encounter on a warm, moon-drenched night that the man was an exceptional kisser. Now the danger was real. Because now Evie might fall in love.

Yet Andrew Hunter simply couldn’t stay away. No other woman would do for his wife. He would give her adventure, fidelity, and a fortune so vast she’d need several lifetimes to go through half of it. What woman could ask for more?
All Kate asked for was a true love match. And Mr. Hunter clearly had no room in his heart for such a silly emotion. But then how was it that no matter what adventure he dragged her on, no matter what mishap befell her, the look in his eyes told her they were Destined to Last.
