He is noble,
notorious, and takes no prisoners...
They say that now His Grace, Collin Talmage,
Duke of Trenwyth has only one hand, he might finally be a mere mortal, but no
one seems willing to test the theory. Rich as Midas, big as a Viking, beautiful
as Adonis, and lethal as a feral wolf, he is the English Empire’s golden son.
But now he’s lost everything. Most of his family died in a terrible accident,
his protégé and closest friend betrayed him on the battlefield, and his left
hand was cut off while he was a prisoner of war. The only thing that’s kept him
going until now is the memory of a night spent in the arms of a mysterious
raven-haired woman almost a year ago…
Imogen Pritchard is a nurse by day, but a fallen
woman—and a spy—by night. Seduced on the job years ago by a Duke who mourned
for the loss of his family, Imogen has never shaken the memory of the man’s
despair—or the fathomless depths of pleasure he brought to her. But as the
threat of betrayals, blackmail, and secrets abound, Imogen and Collin are
thrown back together in a dizzying swirl of dangerous games and earthshattering
desire. But can their love overcome the everything that threatens to tear them
apart?

Three years ago, ex-operative
Sophie Jordan made the mistake of falling in love—and marrying—her target. Now

but he’s also a psychopath. She’s been a virtual prisoner, and the time has
come for retribution—and escape.
Undercover agent Malcolm Gunnison

plans to get rid of her, too, if she gets in his way, but he’s unprepared when
she gets under his skin instead. Whose side is she on? And what is she hiding
behind those mesmerizing eyes?
Sophie vowed to never fall for
another man again, but this sexy undercover agent is different. With danger

passion—enough to get out of this operation alive?

Highly acclaimed,
award-winning author of Act Like It Lucy Parker returns readers to the London
stage with laugh-out-loud wit and plenty of drama
The play's the fling
It's not actress Lily Lamprey's fault that she's
all curves and has the kind of voice that can fog up a camera lens. She wants
to prove where her real talents lie—and that's not on a casting couch, thank
you. When she hears esteemed director Luc Savage is renovating a legendary West
End theater for a lofty new production, she knows it could be her chance—if
only Luc wasn't so dictatorial, so bad-tempered and so incredibly sexy.
Luc Savage has respect, integrity and
experience. He also has it bad for Lily. He'd be willing to dismiss it as a
midlife crisis, but this exasperating, irresistible woman is actually a very
talented actress. Unfortunately, their romance is not only raising questions
about Lily's suddenly rising career, it's threatening Luc's professional
reputation. The course of true love never did run smooth. But if they're not
careful, it could bring down the curtain on both their careers…

An eccentric
wallflower…
Most debutantes dream of finding a husband. Lady

takes to possess her, even if their marriage of convenience turns out to be the
devil’s own bargain.
A perilous plot…
After succumbing to Gabriel’s skilled and
sensuous persuasion, Pandora agrees to become his bride. But soon she discovers
that her entrepreneurial endeavors have accidentally involved her in a
dangerous conspiracy-and only her husband can keep her safe. As Gabriel
protects her from their unknown adversaries, they realize their devil’s bargain
