A rogue ruined . . .

He is the Killer Duke, accused of murdering Mara Lowe on the eve of her wedding. With no memory of that fateful night, Temple has reigned over the darkest of London’s corners for twelve years, wealthy and powerful, but beyond redemption. Until one night, Mara resurfaces, offering the one thing he’s dreamed of . . . absolution.

A lady returned . . .

Mara planned never to return to the world from which she’d run, but when her brother falls deep into debt at Temple’s exclusive casino, she has no choice but to offer Temple a trade that ends in her returning to society and proving to the world what only she knows...that he is no killer.

A scandal revealed . . .

It’s a fine trade, until Temple realizes that the lady—and her past—are more than they seem. It will take every bit of his strength to resist the pull of this mysterious, maddening woman who seems willing to risk everything for honor . . . and to keep from putting himself on the line for love.

An Unexpected Passion

The Beast, all fists and fury

Her career in tatters, celebrity photographer Lilah Rose needs somewhere to regroup and start fresh, outside of the spotlight. There’s nowhere better to hide than the English countryside, complete with fluffy sheep, rolling hills…and Max, the stern, sexy farmer who tends to them.

But the lazy days and lush nights with Max aren't as far from the spotlight as Lilah thinks. He isn’t simply a farmer—he’s also a duke: young, handsome and powerful…and too aware of how a title can dazzle, making the man inside invisible. What’s the harm in playing the farmer for a while? After all, Lilah isn’t staying…

Soon, Max is imagining just that, though--wondering what it would be like to have her on his land, in his life, in his bed forever. For that, he’s going to need to tell her the truth…and hope he can convince her that he’s a duke worth falling for.

Max & Lilah’s story was originally published in the Naughty Brits anthology

Después de varios años convertida en el mayor escándalo de Londres, lady Sesily Talbot ha aceptado la reputación y la libertad que le proporciona ese estatus. Nadie le presta atención cuando atrae a un caballero hacia los oscuros jardines durante un baile en Mayfair... y nadie sabe que esas citas no son lo que parecen.

Nadie salvo Caleb Calhoun, que lleva años intentando no fijarse en la brillante, bella y atrevida hermana de su mejor amiga, con la que compartió un inoportuno beso tiempo atrás.

Alguien debe evitar que Sesily se meta en problemas durante sus peligrosas escapadas nocturnas, y quizá pasar tiempo con ella es justo lo que Caleb necesita para dejar de sentirse atraído por esa escandalosa y exasperante mujer. Sin embargo, eso pondrá en apuros a Caleb, que enseguida se dará cuenta de que jamás olvidará a Sesily: su recuerdo lo acompañaría toda la eternidad. Y la eternidad no es algo que se pueda arriesgar.

«Una serie victoriana repleta de divertidos coqueteos, bromas ingeniosas y una tensión sexual electrizante»., Publishers Weekly

Diez años atrás, el marqués de Bourne fue expulsado de la sociedad sin nada más que su título. Ahora, propietario del club de juego más exclusivo de Londres, el frío y cruel Bourne está dispuesto a hacer lo que sea necesario para recuperar su herencia. Incluso casarse con la perfecta lady Penelope Marbury.

Un compromiso roto y años sufriendo decepcionantes cortejos han provocado que Penelope pierda el interés en un matrimonio convencional y tranquilo, quiere algo más. Sin duda, es una suerte que su recién estrenado marido esté en disposición de mostrarle un nuevo mundo de placer.

Es posible que Bourne sea el príncipe de la decadencia de los bajos fondos londinenses, pero se ha jurado a sí mismo que mantendrá a Penelope al margen de toda aquella perversidad. Algo que le resultará muy complicado cuando ella descubra el deseo y se atreva a apostarlo todo por él, incluso su corazón.

Seit der Duke of Marwick einst ihre Liebe verriet und sie um ihr rechtmäßiges Erbe brachte, sinnt Grace auf Rache. Jetzt ist der Moment gekommen: Mit klopfendem Herzen steigt sie die Stufen zum geheimen Hinterzimmer ihres Etablissements hinauf, hinter dessen Tür der Duke verletzt im Bett liegt. Aber statt sich einen letzten Kampf mit ihm zu liefern, kann sie nicht widerstehen, als er sie wenig später mit einem hungrigen Kuss überrascht. Und beim Blick in seine um Vergebung flehenden braunen Augen fragt sie sich jäh: Ist er doch nicht so skrupellos wie gedacht? Oder lässt sie sich gerade erneut von ihm das Herz brechen?

LA HERMANA PEQUEÑA DE LOS INCORREGIBLES RALSTON PROMETE SER EL ESCÁNDALO DE LA TEMPORADA.

Juliana Fiori es un espíritu apasionado. Es impulsiva, valiente, decidida y poco le importa lo que opine el resto de la alta sociedad londinense, lo que la convierte en el blanco favorito de los cotilleos de la ciudad.

Es nada más y nada menos el tipo de mujer que el duque de Leighton querría tener lo más lejos posible. El duque tiene una intachable reputación que proteger, pero Juliana está dispuesta a demostrarle que nadie puede resistirse a la pasión, aunque se trate del mismísimo duque de Leighton, y tiene dos semanas para demostrárselo.

Grace Condry lleva toda la vida huyendo de su pasado. Traicionada cuando era niña por su único amor y criada en las calles de Covent Garden, ahora se esconde a la vista de todos con una nueva identidad. Es la reina de los rincones más oscuros de Londres. Grace es sagaz y posee un poderoso gancho de derecha. Jamás se ha enfrentado a un enemigo que no pudiera abatir… hasta que el hombre al que una vez amó vuelve a entrar en su vida.

Ewan, duque de Marwick, es tan audaz como despiadado. Y se ha pasado más de una década buscando a la mujer que nunca dejó de amar. Puede que por culpa de una apuesta la perdiera para siempre hace ya muchos años, pero hará todo lo posible para recuperarla... y convertirla en su duquesa.

Lo último que quiere Grace es reconciliarse con Ewan; más bien todo lo contrario. Incapaz de perdonarlo, ha prometido vengarse, aunque eso signifique tener que estar cerca de él.

Algo extremadamente peligroso.
