She never meant to fall in love with her best friend.
Charlotte Hudson has only ever wanted two things — to move up to a lady’s maid in the House of Devon, and to find love. Love like her parents. Love like her friend Abigail. Love like the duke and duchess she works for.
Philip Webster enjoys life as the valet to the second son of a duke, the man who was his childhood friend. Never one to resist a pretty face, when new maid Lily Draper joins the household staff, he is smitten.
There’s only one problem. Lily spurns his advances, so to get close he convinces her that he only wants to be friends. How to do that? Find himself a fake fiancée. There is no one better for the job than his best friend Charlotte. Until Charlotte begins to lose her heart to the one man she always thought would protect it.
When a theft in the household causes her character and position come into question, however, Philip finds himself doing everything he can to clear her name — and, if he can, win her heart.

Love at first sight.
Steamy second chance.
Regency splendor.
As the most distinguished watchmaker in England, Christian Bainbridge believes in accurate timepieces, not love. He secretly offered his heart years ago, and he’s never gotten it back. When Raine Mowbray stumbles into his life again, Christian realizes the woman he’s worshiped from afar is still the woman he desires above all others.
Raine Mowbray needs solitude and employment, not love. A housemaid forced to flee a loathsome earl’s grasp, the last thing she’s seeking is a man’s amorous attention. When she finds herself unexpectantly paired with a gorgeous watchmaker in need of an assistant, she’s unnerved by his wit, kindness—and clandestine devotion to her.
If you like spirited heroines who fight falling in love and charmingly arrogant heroes who think they know best, then this is the book for you! Snuggle up with Tempting the Scoundrel, a steamy second chance, love-at-first-sight Regency Romance!

A match with a baron was beyond her wildest dreams…
Daisy knew where she stood in society. When her father landed in debtor’s prison, she was lucky to have a roof over her head and employment that kept her fed and clothed. At best, she might hope to one day meet a gentleman who’d overlook her lack of dowry, like her sister. But when the Baron of Hartwell visits her employer, his glances scorch and his touch ignites. But he’s so far about her station, she doesn’t even dare to dream.
She’s too tempting by half…
Miss Daisy Frank was not the sort of woman a baron considered for a bride. Yes, she was of the peerage, but after her father’s fall from grace she had no dowry, no prospects, and little chance of a good match. Except… she was also sweet, kind, and achingly beautiful. The sort of woman that might just soothe a man’s wounded soul.
