The narrow-minded boorishness of the ton made Catherine Ashfield, Viscountess Bickley, only too happy to assist a friend with the publication of A Ladies’ Guide – a scandelous explicit handbook that has taken society by storm. She’d hoped to set nobility on its ear, but she never dreamed her involvement would place her life in jeopardy…and force her to flee London in the company of a disarmingly attractive protector.

Colin Oliver, Viscount Sutton, left his beloved Cornwall for London to find a bride-some comely, proper, wellborn lady to bear him an heir. Certainly not someone like Madame Alexandra Larchmont. Yes, she’s the toast of the ton, and a rare beauty to be sure. But she’s also a fortune-teller. And Colin has an excellent reason for keeping a sharp watch on this one . . .
The cards have warned Alexandra for years about a dark-haired stranger who would wreak havoc with her life, so when she sees him at a soiree, her first thought is to run. Unfortunately, she overhears a murder plot, and the only person she can turn to for help is a man she knows she should stay away from, a man who eyes her with an undisguised hunger.
But fate’s strange turns are Alexandra’s stock in trade. And if love is written in the cards, surely nothing is impossible!

Philip Whitmore, Viscount Greybourne, has survived desert sandstorms, unearthed treasures of ancient cities, and defeated knife-wielding grave robbers. But when it comes to something as ordinary as getting married, Philip discovers that it’s not so easy. He’s been cursed after discovering an ancient stone tablet that dooms any woman foolish enough to marry him. Somehow, his fortune, title and dashing good looks no longer seem appealing – and his carefully selected society bride has left him at the altar.

Three years ago, Lady Victoria Wexhall was humiliated when Nathan Oliver waltzed brazenly out of her life after favoring her with one glorious kiss … her very first!
Now, when her father insists she pay a visit to Nathan’s family estate in Cornwall, the pampered Society beauty devises a plan to drive the heartless rake mad with desire, then drop him cold. Because the man is a cad — and he will rue the day he trifled with her affections!
But Victoria’s plan isn’t the only plot that’s afoot. Nathan’s sworn duty to the Crown has immersed him in a perilous intrigue, and he is certain this infuriatingly tempting lady is somehow involved. Using his winning charm and sensuous allure, Nathan intends to discover the lady’s secrets.
And the dashing rogue is bound and determined to prove that, while not quite a gentleman, he is every bit a lover!
