Un époux sur mesure

With his life in ruins, Richard, Duke of Cleybourne, returned to his country estate to deal with the tragic loss he had suffered four years earlier. His plans, however, were interrupted by the arrival of Miss Jessica Maitland. The feisty, flame-haired governess had come to present her charge, Gabriella, as his new ward.

 As if their unwelcome presence weren't bad enough, Jessica also revealed that Gabriella was in danger. Someone was after the girl's fortune- perhaps someone the duke knew only too well.

 Now fate and a raging snowstorm have brought together an odd assortment of guests at Cleybourne Castle. And when murder strikes, Richard and Jessica must catch a killer and unravel a dark mystery, even as they are plunged into the most passionate mystery of all-the secrets of the hidden heart.

The Hidden Heart

" Lorsque vous lirez ces lignes, je ne serai plus de ce monde. Victime de ma passion pour une maîtresse cupide, j'ai fait le malheur de tous ceux qui me sont chers. Pour ma punition, il ne me reste plus qu'à mettre fin à mes jours. Puissent ma famille, mais aussi Thomas, mon jeune pupille que j'ai lésé en détournant son héritage, trouver dans leur cœur assez d'indulgence pour me pardonner. " Quand elle découvre la lettre laissée par Selby, son frère défunt, Julia Armiger passe du désespoir à la révolte. C'est sûr, cette missive est un faux. Son frère n'a jamais entretenu de maîtresse, pas plus qu'il ne s'est suicidé. Il aimait trop sa femme et son fils pour les livrer à la honte et au déshonneur. Quelqu'un a monté cette machination pour cacher ses propres turpitudes. Et ce quelqu'un ne peut être que l'un des trois individus chargés, avec Selby, d'administrer la fortune du jeune Thomas Saint-Léger. Or, elle connaît suffisamment deux d'entre eux pour les savoir incapables d'un meurtre. En conséquence, le coupable est nécessairement le dernier homme, lord Stonehaven. Un éminent aristocrate dont la rumeur prétend qu'il n'a qu'une seule faiblesse :les femmes. Une faille, se jure Julia, qui va causer sa perte...

Le bal de l'orchidée

Okay, maybe Antonia Campbell hadn't exactly found heaven in Angel Eye, Texas. But even if she did get mysterious midnight phone calls and her only bed warmer was a cat named Mitzi, her life as a country vet was a lot better than what she'd left behind: a stifling Virginia upbringing and an abusive ex-husband.

 Then a call to Daniel Sutton's ranch changedeverything. Sparks flew the minute they met, and in his arms she felt petite, protected and every inch a woman. But Daniel's heart might not be as free as it first seemed, and her mysterious caller appeared to have ideas of his own for her future. Was everything about to fall apart just when heaven had seemed within reach?

Hard-Headed Texan

Their need for each other had become less than discreet.

 Benedict Wincross appears in Camilla Ferrand's life as quickly as the gunfire pursuing him. Though his name belies the fact, he is obviously no gentleman. But Camilla realizes Benedict may be just what she needs: a temporary fiancé to satisfy her family's worries.

 And Benedict needs something in return: an entrée into Chevington Park, Camilla's estate, to conduct an undercover investigation into corruption-without Camilla's knowledge. Each was drawing the other into a dangerous deceit-for even if they survived the danger of Benedict's mission, how would they undo the love between them?

Le château des ombres

Angleterre, 1830. Au cœur de la nuit, une chandelle à la main, sir Philip se glisse dans la chambre de Joanna Moulton. L'après midi même, en effet, la jeune effrontée lui a glissé un billet doux l'exhortant à venir la rejoindre dans sa chambre à minuit. Comme convenu donc, sir Philip se glisse entre les draps et entreprend de rendre hommage aux charmes de la mâtine. D'abord passive, celle-ci se tourne enfin vers lui - et sir Philip reçoit un terrible choc : la femme qu'il tient dans ses bras n'est pas Joanna Moulton.

Le rendez-vous de minuit

A lost identity. A handsome protector. And a mysterious crime.

 When an unknown gentleman arrives on his doorstep, Alexander Moreland is astonished to discover that the stranger is a beautiful woman disguised as a man and in great need of his help. The woman remembers nothing except her name, Sabrina, and has only the contents of her pockets as clues to her identity: a handkerchief, a pocket watch, a leather pouch, a torn scrap of paper and a gold ring.

 Sabrina is certain that she is on the run from someone or something - how else to explain her bruises and the pervasive sense of dread she feels? She's also certain that she can trust Alex to assist her and is all too aware of the attraction she feels for him. As they race through the streets of Victorian London, Sabrina and Alex must solve the mystery of Sabrina's past-before whatever she's running from finds them!
