Book excerpt: Helena, Melissa, and Chloe have started arranging marriages, but not all will go smoothly on the way to a happily ever after… Regan Alger, the Lady of Cantrell, is bored with her life. Yes, she’s been more fortunate than most. She was once married to a wonderful gentleman, and this love resulted in her young son—a boy she loves more than anything. But even a son can’t fill the void in her life. She misses having a husband, both in and out of bed, so when she happens to come across a gentleman at a ball who ignites her passion, she decides he’ll be her next husband. And she’s not the least bit shy about letting him know it. Just as determined as Regan is to have Mr. Malcolm Jasper for a husband, he’s equally determined to end up with anyone but her.

She manages to secure him as her husband. Will the gamble pay off? Or has she just doomed them both?

Book excerpt: The pompous laughter of Baron William Hargreaves assaults her ears. "I say, where did you find such a dress, or should I say mess? I thought even in America one would know such a garish garment would be ridiculed." His hand drifts to the immaculate cravat at his throat as he sneers at her, one supercilious eyebrow raised. Caroline Burgess despairs of her attraction to a man who ridicules her at every turn. A beautiful man who belongs to her only in the dreams he inspires. No matter what viciousness he throws at her, Caroline recognizes the longing in his eyes, matched with a secret longing of her own. Baron Hargreaves tries to hide his growing attraction to the beautiful blonde American, rumored to be wealthier than the Queen herself. It would never do for him to attach himself to an American, much less an actress. An actress! He would never survive the scandal. But William is caught up in his own appalling disgrace at the revelation of a product of a youthful indiscretion. The only way to rescue his son from a life of poverty and raise him as a Hargreaves is to marry the child's mother, even though he cannot stand the sight of her. Just as William begins to understand who he is and find the answers he has searched for, Caroline shoots a man to death in full daylight on a London street. With the remains of her reputation in shreds she boards a ship for America, effectively putting an ocean between herself and the man she can never have. When a sudden twist in his extraordinary life offers William one last chance at the one woman he cannot live without, he goes to Caroline-only to find her in the arms of another man.

Can the League’s most wicked rakehell be tamed? Or has this Rogue fallen too far? Horatia Sheridan has been hopelessly in love with Lucien, her brother’s best friend, ever since he rescued her from the broken remains of her parents’ wrecked carriage. His reputation as London’s most notorious rakehell doesn’t frighten her, for under his veneer of cool authority she has glimpsed a man whose wicked desires inspire her own. Lucien, Marquess of Rochester, has deliberately nurtured a reputation for debauchery that makes every matchmaking mother of the ton quake with fear. His one secret: he is torn between soul-ripping lust for Horatia, and the loyalty he owes her brother. That loyalty is put to the test when an old enemy of the League threatens Horatia’s life. With Christmas drawing near, he sweeps her away to his country estate, where he can’t resist granting her one wish—to share his bed and his heart. But sinister forces are lurking, awaiting the perfect moment to exact their revenge by destroying not only whatever happiness Lucien might find in Horatia’s arms, but the lives of those they love. Warning: This book contains an intelligent lady who is determined to seduce her brother’s friend, a brooding rake whose toy of choice in bed is a little bit of bondage with a piece of red silk, a loyal band of merry rogues and a Christmas love so scorching you’ll need fresh snow to extinguish it. *Includes Exclusive Scene Art and Illustrations!

For Michael Stirling, London's most infamous rake, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton. After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased him, of allowing himself to be caught but never permitting his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder he managed to remain standing. Unfortunately for Michael, however, Francesca's surname was to remain Bridgerton for only a mere thirty-six hours longer -- the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to his cousin. But that was then . . . Now Michael is the earl and Francesca is free, but still she thinks of him as nothing other than her dear friend and confidant. Michael dares not speak to her of his love . . . until one dangerous night, when she steps innocently into his arms, and passion proves stronger than even the most wicked of secrets . . .
