Books By Wendy Vella
Forrest Howarth did not have the capacity to love a woman. His daughter, yes, and the cousins who had welcomed him when he’d arrived from India, but a woman, no. Joining Alexius and using his knowledge to protect the Monarch was the next step he needed to take in his life. But before he does that, Forrest must find someone to educate his daughter. Miss Ruby Knight seems just that person.
The problem with having Ruby in his household is she intrigues him. She hides behind her clothes, and the need to ensure she sits well below him on society’s ladder. But she was up to something. He just hadn’t worked out what. No one has ever muddled his thoughts like his daughter’s tutor, so when he gives in to the inevitable and kisses her, he realizes there is no going back.
Too late, he realizes that his mission with Alexius and Ruby are connected, and he must use all his skills to keep her safe.
She will do what it takes to keep her brother alive. Even betraying the man she loves.
When Ruby finds work in the Deville household, it is the answer to her prayers. What she hadn’t planned on was a sweet little girl, and her cold, aloof father tugging her heart strings.
When her world is threatened by those that want her to spy on the Deville family, she knows she must do so, or her brother will be harmed.
She cannot allow her heart to beat faster when Forrest Howarth is near. She cannot allow herself to fall for his child, and yet how can she stop it from happening when she must see them each day? How is she to keep them and her brother safe?
Too late she realizes what is in heart, but she cannot act on it. Sacrificing her brother for the love of Forrest and Ella is not something she can contemplate.
He will give his life to protect his child as she will her brother. But can they together fight the danger that threatens to destroy them.
From USA Today bestselling author Wendy Vella comes a sizzling series full of passion, scandals, and intrigue. Tasked with protecting the King, the Deville brothers are part of a secret alliance forged centuries ago, but when it comes to affairs of the heart, they are yet to be tamed.

Miss Ivy Birdwhistle’s first season had been a disaster. Four years on, and not much had changed, except her aunt had promised this will be her last. All she had to do was support her cousin at Lady Pandora Osborne’s house party, and her torment was over.
All was going to plan until the enigmatic man who had saved her from ruin four years ago returned from his travels. Bramstone Nightingale was her handsome savior. It’s clear he does not recognize her. And it's also clear that he is determined to ignore the fact she is the most unpopular guest at the party. With him continually seeking her out, and Lady Osborne insisting she compete in the archery competition, her careful plans are deteriorating.
Bram was a vastly different man than the spoiled indolent one who walked out on society. He’s learned control and will no longer willingly follow the dictates of his family. And this is what draws him to the shy wallflower, Miss Ivy Birdwhistle.
With her hideous dress sense, and need to make herself invisible, Bram is intrigued to know why she is hiding. When he discovers her secret and that he played a part in the woman before him today, he is forced to face something he’d never believed himself capable of. His heart beats a little harder when Ivy is near and suddenly his most dangerous adventure is the one he faces pursuing her.
Winning A Wallflower was originally released in the Wedding Wager Anthology.
Desperate for his help
Gabriel Deville, Earl of Raine, has never met a woman like Dimity Brown. Mysterious, alluring and utterly infuriating, she has no respect for him. In fact, the piano teacher treats him like he is the underling, not her. His beloved sister, however, calls her friend, and when Dimity disappears, he cannot refuse his sibling’s urgent plea to find her.
Gabe’s first shock is finding Dimity in a seedy tavern, dancing on the bar. The second is seeing the feisty young woman vulnerable and scared. He soon realizes that what he feels for her is a great deal deeper than anger and he will stop at nothing to keep her safe. Earning her trust and uncovering her secrets will be a challenge, but securing a place in her heart will be the biggest challenge of his lifetime.
Powerless to resist
Dimity had believed her life would never be anything more or less than it currently was, but then her father dies, and everything changes. She is thrown out of the only home she has ever known, and finds a letter in her father’s things that turns her life completely on its head. Penniless, confused and desperate, she has nowhere to turn until Gabriel Deville steps back into her life.
Lord Raine is arrogant, ridiculously wealthy, and far too dangerously handsome. Despite the sparks that had always flown between them, their interactions had been coldly civil. When he insists she accept his help, Dimity takes it, certain she can resist him, and what is growing between them long enough to unravel the secrets of her past.
Can they overcome their differences and society dictates to forge a life together?
