Toutefois lorsque Keira met au jour un complot contre la couronne d Angleterre, le jeune homme s'aperçoit que cette femme est loin d'être aussi guindée et respectable qu'il n'y paraît, et il pourrait bien se laisser séduire...

Pour l'amour d'un libertin (La confrérie des Lords, #3)

A RITA Award Finalist Broken Dreams and Second ChancesHoned by danger and haunted by the past, Lord Michael Kenyon finds it easy to risk his life for his country's sake. But in the shadow of Waterloo, he faces a far more dangerous threat-the loss of his heart to the beautiful battlefield nurse who saves his life, yet can never be his. Called a saint for her virtue and selfless courage, only Catherine Melbourne knows the tragic flaw at the core of her spirit. In Michael Kenyon, she sees the strength and kindness she craves, yet for honor's sake she must conceal her love and send him away. Even when freed from her empty marriage, she conceals the truth because of the bleak knowledge that she can never again be any man's wife. Then fate offers Catherine a fortune, a title, a heritage for her daughter-if Michael will impersonate her husband on a visit to a wild Cornish island. Reluctantly he agrees to the masquerade. But what begins as a simple journey leads them into a shattering vortex of danger and betrayal-and a fiercely passionate love that can no longer be denied.

Shattered Rainbows - Fallen Angels, #5

This novel has been previously released under the title Twist of Fate. From bestselling author Mary Jo Putney comes an emotionally charged story of a man and a woman brought together by a passion for justice, a hunger for change, and an imperfect process. Corporate law has given Val Covington high profile success, Armani suits-and no time for a life.  Recklessly she walks away from her uptown job and starts her own practice, determined to do work that matters. Renting a remodeled church for her new office gives her an unexpected bonus in the form of her landlord.  Rob Smith is the kind of guy Val is always attracted to: mysterious, handsome, and haunted.  Which means, based on her track record, that he is also a loser, but this time she's smart enough to avoid involvement with the wrong man. Then Val's assistant makes a desperate plea for help in saving her one-time lover from being executed for a crime he didn't commit.  Val agrees to try, though success seems impossible.  Rob, who has private reasons for wanting to work with Val, offers his formidable investigative skills in the quest for justice. Working against the clock, Rob and Val discover irresistible mutual passion as well long hidden secrets.  But will their new evidence be enough to save a life?  And can two very different people change enough to build a life together? Perhaps they can, when fate takes a hand.. This novel was named a "Top Pick!" by Romantic Times Magazine. The Circle of Friends Trilogy:#1: The Burning Point#2: The Spiral Path#3: An Imperfect Process#4: A Holiday Fling (A Circle of Friends Novella) Praise for An Imperfect Process:"[An Imperfect Process]takes on the increasingly timely topic of the death penalty.  By continuing to tackle difficult subjects while delivering amazing entertainment, Putney is becoming one of the most potent voices in fiction today.  Powerful emotions and unforgettable characters make [this] one of the best books of the year."-Romantic Times  "With fully realized characters and a finely designed plot, Putney presents a convincing look at what is right and what is wrong with our system of justice."-Booklist "I highly recommend [An Imperfect Process], the third book in the Circle of Friends series (after The Burning Point and The Spiral Path.).

The Black Beast of Belleterre: A Victorian Christmas Novella

Celebrate!I love writing Christmas stories because they include three of my favorite things-tradition, lots of emotion, and a guaranteed happy ending.  That's why I'm delighted to reissue this holiday collection which includes four of my classic historical novellas, plus my only contemporary novella.  Sunshine for Christmas follows a lonely young aristocrat to Italy for the holidays, where he finds something even more precious than sunshine.  (The hero, Lord Randolph Lennox, was a secondary character in my RITA winning novel, The Rake.) The Christmas Cuckoo features level-headed young Meg who goes to the local coaching inn and comes home with the wrong Jack Howard.  And like a true cuckoo in the nest, Jack doesn't want to leave!  The Christmas Tart is the tale of Nicole, a young Frenchwoman down on her luck in London, whose stark choice for survival gives her--and her kitten!--a new chance for happiness. The Black Beast of Belleterre is a Beauty and the Beast Victorian tale of a beautiful  young artist and the husband who believes he cannot be loved.  Of course he's wrong! In A Holiday Fling, a British actress and a Hollywood cameraman team up to film a Christmas show for a good cause.  Anything that happens between them will be a strictly temporary holiday fling-or might it be more? What all these tales have in common is two people discovering life's greatest gift, love, at the happiest time of the year.  Enjoy! -Mary Jo Putney
