Her intended is rumored to be a hideously ugly man, a prospect that propels her into a reckless shipboard affair with a compelling stranger she never sees in the light of day.

Unbeknownst to Louise, her mystery man is actually her betrothed, Charles d’Harcourt, Charles is playing a game, but his plan has unexpected results.

Once, a long time ago, Coco Wild learned to never allow a man’s kiss to move her, for that way led to downfall. A slender beauty with alluring eyes, she built impregnable defenses around her emotions. The men who came to adore her, fought to conquer her and learn her mysteries, made her the toast of London, but none were able to rouse her passions.

But that hard-taught lesson is about to unravel because of Sir James Stoker. Back in England with a treasure of gold from his adventures, newly knighted by Queen Victoria herself, and feted everywhere, the handsome explorer has the world at his feet. He’s exactly the man Coco might have dreamed about when she was young: a tall, fair hero with a charming smile. Now he’s turned his energy toward winning her, the most desirable and the least attainable woman he knows; and Coco’s aft-aid James may just find his way past the thorns that have so long protected her from the world, and awaken her slumbering heart…with just one kiss.

Lady Lydia Bedford-Browne’s small rebellion becomes the adventure of her life, when her coach crashes and leaves her stranded on the treacherous Dartmoor with the only other passenger, a rugged, disarmingly attractive Texan named Sam Cody. Sam’s slow, melodic drawl and dark, hypnotic eyes tempt Lydia in ways she never thought possible. But dare the lord’s daughter loosen her proper English restraints any further?

Foul luck has caused the dashing American millionaire to miss his own wedding to an unforgiving bride . . .for the second time! Worse still, he’s stuck in the middle of nowhere with a straight-laced noble beauty. But there is an unmistakable spark of courage, sensuality, and wild passion beneath Liddy’s prim exterior, daring Sam to pursue even further what his heart and his soul now desperately desire—even though both the Texan’s and the lady’s vastly different worlds will be rocked if they dare surrender t

No man, gentleman or otherwise, has ever looked at Lady Edwina Bollash the way the brash, handsome man standing before her is doing now. Edwina has accepted the challenge to transform incorrigible Mich Tremore into a gentleman in just six weeks. And although the linguist is sure she can rise to the task, she isn’t at all certain she won’t swoon under his frankly sensuous gaze before her job is done.

Mick has lived outside of London society long enough to know that appearances can be deceiving. Edwina might look all buttoned up-the perfect English lady-but there is unleashed passion existing just below her placid facade (not to mention a great pair of legs!). And as she prepares him to take his place in society, Mick prepares Edwina to take her place in his heart…and in his bed.

Not my rip with my thanks to the other up-loaders for these delightful books.
