THE MARRIAGE RING
Third book in the Scandals and Seductions series.
The woman who will wear Richard Lynsted’s ring will be genteel, dainty, and well-bred.
This eliminates Grace MacEachin on all three counts. A hellion of the first order, the alluring, infuriating woman would be nothing more than a passing temptation to an upstanding gentleman like Richard--if it weren’t for the fact that she’s trying to blackmail his father!
Or, as Grace sees it, trying to get justice--and maybe just the slightest hint of revenge on the family that tore her life asunder when she was just a girl. And as for Lynsted, well, the stuffy, humorless man wouldn’t suffer for time spent in company more exciting than that of his company ledgers. Only when Richard gets Grace alone, she discovers he many know a thing or tow about excitement after all . . . ..

YOU AND NO OTHER
New Re-Issue of a Fan Favorite!
A classic tale of scandalous revenge and delicious submission . . .
When Lady Caroline Pearson learns that her brother-in-law has idiotically, and illegally gambled away her house, she decides that enough is enough. Boldly, she confronts the new owner in person.

Sheepish and repentant, James arrives on Caroline's doorstep to make amends—unaware that she is now intent on retliation. James merely meant to seduce a bewitching minx and have done with it—and, suddenly, he's a kidnapped prisoner in Caroline's cellar. But most shocking of all, James realizes that he has no desire whatsoever to be free—for the audacious Caroline has inflamed his sense, destroyed his reason . . .and completely captured his heart.

IN THE HIGHLANDER'S BED
They're on the brink of ecstacy . . .
Placed in the Young Ladies' Academy by her well-meaning sisters, Constance Cameron feels smothered. She hates England and desperately wants to return to America. Since her sisters have found happiness with their new English husbands, they ignore her pleas. Constance decides to run away and locate a ship to take her home. Escaping into the night, she stumbles upon a handsome Scottish rebel who grabs her. After landing a few good punches, Constance discovers he's attempting to kidnap her. She goes willingly, thinking she will flee once they get close to the coast.
Gordon Lachlan, the new Laird MacKenna, leads a ragtag group of Scots wanting to overthrow English rule. Their old leader fled to Italy, taking their money, leaving behind broken promises.

With the English on his trail, Lachlan flees through the forest and mountains to escape.
