Two sumptuous historical romances.
'Suddenly'
Wanted: Wife of good family, attractive but not too beautiful, calm, reasonable and mature . . . for marriage of convenience. Pleasant conversationalist preferred but not required.
Simon "Devil" Dure is as cynical about love as spirited Charity Emerson is innocent of it. But she is certain she can meet his wifely expectations, and he is charmed and amused enough to believe her. Their ensuing engagement is as shocking as it is conspiratorial.
With her crazy schemes and her warm laughter, Charity tempts Simon - with more than her body. Her loving heart seduces him to unlock the shackles around his own. There is no warning, however, of the treacherous trap that lies ahead, or of the vicious act of murder that will put their courage - and their love - to the ultimate test.
'Scandalous'
A man without a past . . .
Who was the stranger on her doorstep? Why was someone trying to kill him? And what had happened to his memory?
A woman with a secret . . .
She had always been a model of propriety, the dutiful daughter and loving sister who put her family above all else. No one had guessed at the shocking secret she kept hidden . . . or the desire that would burn inside her at this stranger's touch.
