She didn't steal. She simply took what was rightfully hers-including his heart.Charles, Duke of Hasterton, admired and respected for his cunning business acumen both at home and abroad has an astounding secret. He is imaginary. But his brilliant twin sister Cecilia is quite real. She was born in Germany after her father died and taught to guard the title, wealth, and power like the rare stolen treasure that it is. After all, as a daughter, she could never inherit the dukedom legally.Cecilia and her mother cultivate the ruse of the fictional duke quite nicely. Everybody who is anybody in London believes His Grace resides with them at their stunning residence in Germany. Their acquaintances in Germany believe the pretend peer is always in London or traveling the world over. But when Cecilia's mother falls victim to a grave illness and begs to visit her beloved London one last time, even though it's risky, Cecilia can't refuse her. But her mother can't travel alone, and Cecilia refuses to entertain superficial men pining for nothing more than her dowry. So, she poses as her mother's companion to ensure their elaborate farce remains safe. While everyone is told Lady Cecilia remained in Germany because of frail health, Miss Celia Bening, companion to the dowager duchess, enjoys the freedom to handle whatever arises-or at least, she tries.Lord Elias Raines might be the second son of a duke and the youngest solicitor in his law office, but he's proven himself so capable and talented that when his mentor dies, he's promoted to partner and assigned to the rich, influential clients cared for by the man who taught him everything he knows. Well, almost everything. His dearly departed advisor failed to mention some of the peculiarities in the Duke of Hasterton's file. Elias's requests for the duke to review the oddities have, so far, gone unanswered. Luckily enough, he discovers the duke's mother is in London. While decorum demands he wait for answers from the duke, he can't refrain from digging deeper when the dowager duchess requests he draw up her will with a suspiciously generous endowment for her companion, the lovely Miss Cecilia, an intriguing woman who drives him mad with desire.Delightful, passionate, and at times heartbreaking, a merry chase is had by all until a lifetime of secrets explodes. Elias must make a choice-help Cecilia devise a plan to protect the world she and her mother so carefully crafted or end their illegal scheme and escort them both to the prison.Only one can win: his profession or his heart-until a third option too terrible to imagine rears its ugly head and makes the choice for them both.The Sisterhood of Independent LadiesBook 1 - To Steal a DukeBook 2 - To Steal a MarquessBook 3 - To Steal an Earl

All he wanted was to end his fate.All she wanted was a new beginning.They both got just what they asked…Just not like they planned.The old adage is true: Be careful what you wish for. As guardian of the realm portals hidden among the Outer Hebrides, Chieftain Torin Grey discovers the consequences of challenging the gods. Betrayed by a wife he adored beyond reason; Torin ignores the gods' edict and dares to change his fate. The punishment for such disobedience? Stasis in a cursed sleep while all he cherishes turns to dust. Torin can't imagine a worse sentence but that's before the gods awaken him to a world he no longer knows. Science + Data = Fact. Pediatrician Emma Maxwell only believes in what she can prove. Career-driven and raising her sister since her parents' death, Emma doesn't waste time or energy on anything as unexplainable as emotion. While starting a children's clinic on the Isle of Lewis, Emma ignores the eerie pull of the Callanish Stones, chalking the sensation up to some scientific anomaly. But when she finds herself nose to nose with an ancient Scot babbling that Emma possesses magic, her scientific explanations become much harder to find. It boils down to one of two things: either Torin has escaped from a mental institution or the stress of leaving college-age sister alone while starting a clinic halfway around the world has finally pushed Emma over the edge. Emma and Torin are the world's last hope when the gods realize the beast they unleashed to cleanse mankind should never have been unshackled. Their combined powers are the only weapon strong enough to overcome the demon and save humanity. But for their joined magic to work, Torin must accept the truths of his past and Emma must embrace an unexplainable future that includes neither science nor her sister. Will magic and love win out…or is the world doomed? *Previously published in 2014, this exciting Scottish historical fantasy romance that brings Celtic myths and legends to life is refreshed, dressed up with a new cover, and ready for your reading pleasure!
