He felt as if he'd been born to want the woman before him, as if desiring her was simply his destiny.On a whim, the Hound of Whitehall saved widowed reformer, Honoria Blaylock, from a terrible fate... and in so doing, sealed his own.Fierce, beautiful, willful, maddening and completely irresistible to him; each and every interaction with her pokes and prods at his temper while shaking his resolve to keep her at arm's length. Then the unthinkable happens. Honoria's sister is kidnapped-a crime that occurred on his streets, without his sanction. So they strike a bargain. He'll help Honoria save her sister, and in return, she'll come to his bed for as long as he wants her there.Honoria has little use for men as a general rule. Her father was a miser and social climber while her late husband was a cruel and vicious wastrel who made her life a misery. She's never known temptation before. Not until him. Vincent. The Hound of Whitehall. The King of London's underworld. The bargain he offers her is terrifying, not because she fears him, but because she fears herself and the complicated tangle of feelings he stirs within her.With her sister missing and a monster prowling the dark alleys of London's worst rookeries to prey on its most vulnerable habits, she'll have to set her fears aside and put her trust in the same criminal who once saved her.But can she give him her body while still protecting her heart?The Hellion ClubA Rogue to RememberBarefoot in Hyde ParkMaking Spirits Bright (Novella)What Happens in PiccadillySleepless in SouthamptonWhen an Earl Loves a GovernessAll I want for Christmas (Novella)The Duke's Magnificent ObsessionThe Governess DiariesA Dangerous PassionThe Lady ConfessesHas Anybody Seen My Earl?A Scandal on Park LaneStrangers on a TrainAll About EmilyA Hellion Without A Cause

Love lost and found...As a girl, Euphemia Darrow had fallen desperately in love with the younger son of the Duke of Clarenden, Nicholas Montford. But he broke her heart with a cold dismissal before he left to join the army. Rather than pine for him, Effie found another purpose for her life. Forfeiting the notions of having a husband and children of her own, she poured her heart and soul into the Darrow School-her creation. It was a place for girls like herself... the illegitimate and often forgotten children of noblemen. She would rear those girls, teach them to fend for themselves, to retain their dignity and independence in a world of men.Years later, fate brings Nicholas back into her life. Now the only surviving son, he is the heir to the dukedom, he's also a master spy, working to protect the crown from threats foreign and domestic. Unable to resist the beautiful girl who has now grown into a remarkable and fascinating woman, Nicholas finds himself once more under Effie's spell. All his efforts to protect her from his father's wrath by ending their association have failed. But his father is now on his deathbed and freedom lies ahead-freedom to finally pursue the life he's always dreamed of... a life with Effie.But the course of true love can never run smoothly. Confronted with evidence that Nicholas has done the unforgivable-fathering a child, Alexandra, and abandoning her to the horrors of the workhouse-Effie rejects him. When the scheming of his enemies places him at death's door, Effie must accept that her feelings for him, despite her hurt, are as deep as ever. But Nicholas' enemies will do whatever it takes to destroy him and anyone who is close to him.With Effie and Alexandra in danger, he must move heaven and earth to keep them all safe... and to prove that he is worthy of her.The Hellion ClubA Rogue to RememberBarefoot in Hyde ParkMaking Spirits Bright (Novella)What Happens in PiccadillySleepless in SouthamptonWhen an Earl Loves a GovernessAll I want for Christmas (Novella)The Duke's Magnificent ObsessionThe Governess DiariesA Dangerous PassionThe Lady ConfessesHas Anybody Seen My Earl?A Scandal on Park LaneStrangers on a TrainAll About EmilyA Hellion Without A Cause
