The Paris Apartment

Scandal can be handled... Captain Maximus Harcourt, the unconventional tenth Duke of Alderidge, can deal with tropical storms, raging seas, and the fiercest of pirates. But he's returned home from his latest voyage to find a naked earl - quite inconveniently deceased - tied to his missing sister's bed. And he has only one place to turn. Now he's at the mercy of the captivating Miss Ivory Moore of Chegarre & Associates, known throughout London for smoothing over the most dire of scandals. Miss Moore treats the crisis as though it were no more serious than a cup of spilt tea on an expensive rug. As though this sort of thing happened on the job every day. Max has never in all his life met a woman with such nerve. Her dark eyes are too wide, her mouth is too full, her cheekbones too sharp. Yet together, she's somehow...flawless. It's just like his love for her, imperfect, unexpected - yet absolutely true.

No Dukes Allowed

Duce. Libertin. Titan al afacerilor. August Faulkner, ducelui de Holloway, este un bărbat cu multe talente, printre care și acela de a atrage femeile în patul său. Este, de asemenea, cunoscut și temut pentru abilitatea cu care cumpără și vinde companii, acumulând astfel o avere deloc de neglijat și distrugând destine fără prea multe mustrări de conștiință. Dar ducele este mândru de un astfel de renume pe care îl poartă ca pe o medalie de onoare – și pe care are de gând să și-l păstreze. Pe de altă parte, Clara Hayward, directoarea celei mai prestigioase școli de fete din Anglia, are o reputație fără cusur și iubește ceea ce face. Moartea părinților ei o forțează însă să găsească o soluție de salvare de la faliment a companiei de import a familiei, și pentru asta va organiza cursuri de vară la care va participa și sora ducelui. Același duce care vrea acum să preia compania. Totuși, atunci când se găsește în prezența lui August, Clara nu se poate gândi decât la felul în care s-a simțit în brațele lui în timpul unui vals scandalos în urmă cu zece ani. Și chiar dacă mintea ei știe că nu este deloc înțelept să se lase în voia sentimentelor, inima nu poate să nu-i fie subjugată de ducele care ar putea să i-o distrugă pentru totdeauna. Iar August își dă seama că, până la urmă, ceea ce dorește cu adevărat nu are nimic de-a face cu afacerile...

Duelul inimilor

Când Alexander Lavoie, proprietarul unui faimos club de jocuri de noroc din Londra, prinde o blondă misterioasă numărând cărțile la masa de Blackjack și câștigând astfel sume frumoase la joc, este conștient că ar trebui să o dea afară fără menajamente. Dar descoperă cu surprindere că se simte mai degrabă intrigat decât furios. Și mai ales, că dorește să o vadă mai mult pe frumoasa jucătoare – în clubul lui, în biroul lui, în patul lui. Mai întâi însă, va trebui să o atragă cu o propunere pe care să nu o poată refuza. Prudența și rațiunea o sfătuiesc pe Angelique Archer să păstreze distanța și, mai ales, anonimatul. Dar este disperată, și clubul lui Lavoie îi oferă o cale sigură de a obține rapid banii de care are nevoie – până când este prinsă. Însă în loc să îi interzică accesul în club, diavolul de proprietar îi propune un târg: să vină să lucreze pentru el în schimbul unor avantaje prea tentante ca să fie refuzate. Să nu accepte ar însemna pentru Angelique să se confrunte cu ruina financiară totală. Însă cu un bărbat frumos ca păcatul, să păstreze distanța profesională pare cea mai grea încercare la care a fost supusă vreodată. Cu atât mai mult cu cât se pare că dragostea lor a fost mereu în cărți...

Un targ cu diavolul

Seria „Lorzii de Worth“ Pentru omul de afaceri Heath Hextall, faptul că se trezește dintr-odată conte este un lucru ce-i aduce mari bătăi de cap. Soluția ar fi să-și găsească o soție plăcută și supusă, cu un temperament echilibrat, care să accepte protecția și avantajele pe care el i le poate oferi și care, în schimb, să asigure o oarecare ordine în viața lui și să se ocupe de îndatoririle sale sociale. Însă nu a încăput vreo clipă îndoiala că Lady Josephine Somerhall nu este acea femeie. Joss, fetița firavă și timidă din copilărie, s-a transformat într-o frumusețe ce strălucește în rochiile de gală. În adâncul sufletului, Joss l-a iubit dintotdeauna pe Heath, singura persoană în care s-a putut încrede cu adevărat încă de pe vremea când erau copii. Asta nu înseamnă însă că are de gând să îi devină soție. Căci în lipsa unui soț, Joss poate face totul după pofta inimii ‒ și acum se lasă atrasă de descifrarea misterului periculos conținut în paginile unei mape pe care Heath a primit-o de la o veche cunoștință de-a lui, chiar înainte ca aceasta să moară. Joss va face tot posibilul să se asigure că viața lui Heath nu este pusă în pericol ‒ dar și pentru a-i demonstra că, deși respectarea convențiilor sociale nu este punctul ei forte, pasiunea și înflăcărarea compensează din plin acest neajuns.
