Asher Wellingham, Duke of Carisbrook, was captivated by her! He had happened upon Lady Emma Seaton swimming naked and, beyond her beauty, had seen the deep curling scar on her thigh - a wound that could only be the mark of a sword.
Who was this creature of contradictions? Something about her brought back tantalising memories from the past. With her ill-fitting, threadbare clothes concealing the body of an angel, what kind of woman truly lay behind her refined mask? High-born lady of artful courtesan, Asher wanted to possess both!
Lady Madeleine Randwick was his hostage, and a way to get under her brother's skin. As a willing player in the murky of borderland politics, Alexander Ullyot, Laird of Ashblane, should have no compunction about using her for his own ends. He should ruin her as surely as he wanted to ruin her brother.
And instead...instead he found he was complimenting her. It was the firelight in her hair, the soft, low timbre of her voice and her stubborn streak of independence. Was Alex in danger of falling for the woman who was his means of revenge?
No. H1136
She was his – signed, sealed and delivered!
Ordered to marry, his betrothal to homely, timid Lady Grace Stanton was hardly worth the trouble of protest. Yet, despite everything, Laird Lachlan Kerr found there was something about her that was…brave
. All his life he had been surrounded by betrayal, and this woman, who believed there was still goodness in him, was special indeed. Grace knew that the safety of her home depended on her betrothal – signed, sealed and delivered!
Lachlan’s strength and unexpected care of her were dangerously appealing. She could fall for this man with secrets in his eyes…
The awakening of Beatrice…
Living in a grey world of silhouette, Lord Taris Wellingham conceals his fading eyesight from Society. He has long protected himself from any intimate relationships. Plain, twenty-eight-year-old Beatrice-Maude Bassingstoke does not expect to attract any man, especially not one as good-looking as her remote travelling companion.
Forced by a snowstorm to spend the night together, these two lonely people seek solace in each other’s arms. The passion they unleash surprises them both. How will their lives change with the coming of the new day?
