Alissa Johnson

The Lady is a Thief Years ago, Owen Renderwell earned acclaim-and a title-for the dashing rescue of a kidnapped duchess. But only a select few knew that Scotland Yard's most famous detective was working alongside London's most infamous thief...and his criminally brilliant daughter, Charlotte Walker. Lottie was like no other woman in Victorian England. She challenged him. She dazzled him. She questioned everything he believed and everything he was, and he has never wanted anyone more. And then he lost her. Now a private detective on the trail of a murderer, Owen has stormed back into Lottie's life. She knows that no matter what they may pretend, he will always be a man of the law and she a criminal. Yet whenever he's near, Owen has a way of making things complicated...and long for a future that can never be theirs.

An Unexpected Gentleman

Theyve teased each other mercilessly since childhood, but Whittaker Cole, Earl of Thurston, and Miss Mirabelle Browning are about to discover that trading kisses is much more enjoyable than trading barbs.

Tempting Fate

"To Miss Evie Cole, ignorance was never bliss. That principle had driven her to become quite adept at a most unladylike pursuit--eavesdropping. And it was while honing this skill that she heard her guardians' elaborate scheme to find her a husband. Too bad she'd vowed never to marry. At least she knew the peril they were planning to help entrap her was only pretend. What she didn't hear would change everything. James McAlistair wasn't supposed to be part of the bargain. Not only was the retired assassin dark, silent and intimidating, but Evie also happened to know from an accidental encounter on a warm, moon-drenched night that the man was an exceptional kisser. Now the danger was real. Because now Evie might fall in love."--Page 4 of cover

Practically Wicked

VICTORIAN ROMANCEAs the daughter of a notorious criminal-and a former thief herself-Esther Walker-Bales has come to London to right a very old wrong. Nothing will stop her from making amends: not her family's enemies, not old fears, and certainly not the interfering and undeniably gorgeous private investigator, Sir Samuel Brass. Samuel has better things to do than watch over a reckless hellion. He's known Esther for thirteen years, and he hasn't trusted her for a second of it. But duty demands he return her to her family in one piece, even if it means spending day and night with the sharp-tongued beauty who infuriates him almost as much as she tempts him. But just as the two move from a tentative truce to a fledgling romance, a threat from Esther's past emerges to endanger their future. Now Samuel will have to use all his skills as a private investigator, dust off his charm, and maybe employ a bit of guile of his own if he wants to keep Esther safe...and steal her carefully guarded heart.

A Gift for Guile

She's a liar. She's a con. She's a thief. And God help him, but he'll do anything to keep her safe. Beautiful and conniving, maddening and brilliant, Esther is everything private detective Samuel Brass shouldn't want. Esther knows she's put herself in terrible danger, but nothing will stop her from making amends-not her family's enemies, not old fears, and certainly not the domineering, interfering, and undeniably handsome former officer of the Scotland Yard. Yet whenever he's near, Samuel makes her long for a life that can never be hers...and wish she were worthy of being saved. Second in an exciting late Victorian romance series from a RITA Award nominee!

Als Miss Evie Cole einen Drohbrief erhält, wird sie unter den Schutz des ehemaligen Soldaten Mr James McAlistair gestellt. Eigentlich hat sich Evie geschworen, niemals zu heiraten. Doch der gut aussehende McAlistair hat es ihr sofort angetan. Wenn sie den wortkargen Mann nur jemals dazu bringen könnte, mehr als zwei Sätze mit ihr zu reden.

Das Versprechen der Liebe

Slečna Evie Coleová výhružné dopisy nebere vážně. Mnohem víc se bojí, že ztratí srdce kvůli bývalému vrahovi, který ji má chránit. Jako bojovnice za práva žen se už dávno rozhodla, že se nikdy nevdá, ale čím víc McAlistaira poznává, tím víc se její přesvědčení otřásá v základech. I v tomto románu Alissy Johnson najdeme dobrodružství, pravý britský humor a jiskřivou konverzaci. Znovu se také setkáme s oblíbenými postavami starých známých: s intrikáři panem Fletcherem a paní Summersovou, se Sophií a vévodou z Rockeforte či s Melanií a Whitem, kteří už své štěstí v předchozích dvou dílech našli. Čeká šťastný konec i na Evie a McAlistaira?

Cudná hříšnice

SERIA „FAMILIA HAVERSTON” Adelaide Ward nu și-a dorit niciodată să fie capul micii ei familii, dar, după moartea părinților, nu are prea multe opțiuni. La 27 de ani, nu mai caută romantism sau pasiune. Tot ce-și dorește este un bărbat care îi poate susține material familia și – speră ea – are suficienți bani ca să ajute la eliberarea fratelui ei din închisoarea datornicilor. De aceea, singurul ei scop este să fie cerută în căsătorie de respectabilul, chiar dacă mai puțin atrăgătorul baron Robert Maxwell, înainte ca familia ei să fie cu totul ruinată. Soarta însă are alte planuri pentru ea. Fermecătorul Connor Brice apare brusc în viața ei și îi captează imaginația... înainte de a o compromite deliberat în fața înaltei societăți. Acum Adelaide are doi pretendenți, total diferiți ca fire și înfățișare, dar cu același motiv pentru dorința de a se însura cu ea. Connor Brice, fratele vitreg al baronului, caută de mult timp să se răzbune. Și ce modalitate mai bună să găsească decât să i-o fure pe frumoasa domnișoară Ward? O „compromitere“ rapidă și o căsătorie și mai rapidă ar fi doar începutul. Însă nu s-a gândit niciodată că Adelaide ar putea deveni rapid mai mult decât un mijloc pentru a-și atinge scopul. Acum trebuie să decidă ce este mai important pentru el – setea de răzbunare sau nevoia de a nu o pierde pe soția Adelaide
