When you go to
Greece to meet your family but end up making out with your smokin' hot tour
guide #sorrynotsorry
Being adopted never made Jane Smith feel
unloved, just unlike the rest of her family. As her
twenty-fifth birthday approaches, she is struck by an overwhelming longing to
finally find her place in the world. So in a very un-Jane-like move, she books
a last-minute ticket to Greece to find her birth father and the real Jane. All she knows about him is it
that he was a tour guide named Dimitri. Armed with this knowledge and several
surprise boxes of condoms from her mom (not embarrassing at all), Jane takes
off.
Within minutes of landing she makes two
important discoveries. First, everyone in Greece is named Dimitri, and second,
fate might be playing a sick joke on her when a sexy tour guide called Dimitri
comes to fetch her from the airport. He offers to help Jane with her search---if she'll go on an adventure with him.
Stable Jane would never risk a steamy vacation romance. But real Jane might finally be ready to
listen to her heart. Will Jane find her biological father, or will she end up
finding something else entirely?

As Sabine de la Tour tosses piles of forged
banknotes onto a bonfire in a Paris park, she bids a reluctant farewell to her
double life as a notorious criminal. Over the course of Napoleon’s reign, her
counterfeits destabilized the continent and turned scoundrels into rich men,
but now she and her business partner must escape France—or face the guillotine.
Her only hope of surviving in England is to strike a deal with the very spy she’s
spent her career outrunning. Now after meeting the arrogant operative in the
flesh, Sabine longs to throw herself upon his mercy—and into his arms.
Richard Hampden, Viscount Lovell, is prepared to
take any risk to safeguard England from the horrors of the French Revolution.
To lure the insurgents out from the shadows, he’s even willing to make a pact
with his archenemy: Philippe Lacorte, the greatest counterfeiter in Europe. But
when a cheeky, gamine-faced beauty proves herself to be Lacorte, Richard is
shocked—and more than a little aroused. Unlike the debutantes who so often hurl
themselves at him, this cunning minx offers a unique and irresistible
challenge. Richard will help her. But in return, he wants something that even
Sabine cannot fake.

Embark on the breathtaking romantic adventures
of The Lady Travelers Society in the brand-new series by #1 New York Times
bestselling author Victoria Alexander
Really, it's too much to expect any normal man
to behave like a staid accountant in order to inherit the fortune he deserves

one of their members, what's a man to do but step up to the challenge? Now he's
escorting the world's most maddening woman to the world's most romantic city to
find her missing relative.
While India Prendergast only suspects his
organization defrauds gullible travelers, she's certain a man with as
scandalous a reputation as Derek Saunders cannot be trusted any farther than
the distance around his very broad shoulders. As she struggles not to be
distracted by his wicked smile and the allure of Paris, instead of finding a
lost lady traveler, India just may lose her head, her luggage and her heart.

Years ago, the Duke
of Greyland gave his heart—and a princely sum of money—to a charming, destitute
widow with unparalleled beauty. After one passionate night, she slipped from
his bed and vanished without a trace. And just when he’s given up hope of ever
seeing her again, Greyland finds her managing a gaming hell. He’s desperate to
have her… until he discovers everything about his long-lost lover was a lie.
In truth, Cassandra Blake grew up on the
streets, picking pockets to survive. Greyland was a mark—to be fleeced and
forgotten—but her feelings for the duke became all too real. Once he learns of
her deception, however, the heat in his eyes turns to ice. When her business
partner absconds with the gaming hell proceeds—leaving unsavory investors out
for blood—Cassandra must beg the man she betrayed for help.
Greyland wants compensation, too, and he’ll
assist her under one condition: she doesn’t leave his sight until her debts are
paid. But it’s not long before the real Cassandra—the smart, streetwise
criminal—is stealing his heart all over again.

Affiliation: London’s elite Society of Decadent
Dukes.
Family history: Scandalous.

beauty and brains, willing to live with reckless abandon.
Desire: Clara Cheswick, gorgeous daughter of his
family’s sworn enemy.
FAINT OF HEART NEED NOT APPLY
Clara may be the woman Adam wants, but there’s

getting married—especially to a man said to be dead-set on vengeance. Though,
with her nose for a story, Clara wonders if his desire for justice is
sincere—along with his incredibly unnerving intention to be her husband. If her
weak-kneed response to his kiss is any indication, falling for Adam clearly
comes with a cost. But who knew courting danger could be such exhilarating fun?

Sebastian Audley has spent years setting every city in Europe
by the ears and keeping the scandal-sheets in profit. Word that he is finally
returning to London becomes the hottest topic of the Season and casts numerous
young ladies – many of whom have never seen him - into a fever of anticipation.
Cassandra Delahaye is not one of them. In her
opinion, love affairs and duels, coupled with a reputation for never refusing
even the most death-defying wager, suggest that Mr Audley is short of a brain
cell or two. And while their first, very unorthodox meeting shows that perhaps
he isn’t entirely stupid, it creates other reservations entirely.
Sebastian finds dodging admiring females and
living down his reputation for reckless dare-devilry a full-time occupation. He
had known that putting the past behind him in a society with an insatiable
appetite for scandal and gossip would not be easy. But what he had not expected
was to become the target of a former lover’s dangerous obsession … or to find
himself falling victim to a pair of storm-cloud eyes.
