Lord Andrew Radcliffe swore never to be trapped into marriage—especially not by a scheming debutante. But when a luscious beauty invades his private refuge in a blatant attempt to compromise him into proposing, her undeniable allure makes him stare a bit longer than is wise. If she weren't a lady, he might feel tempted to make a very different kind of offer. And yet, as they teeter on scandal's edge, she urges him to escape before her mother catches them together.

Her unexpected but utterly refreshing warning changes everything he thought he knew about women. Intrigued by her honesty, Andrew is drawn to the one woman who clearly has no intention of ensnaring him.

Or does she? As Andrew quickly discovers, he may just be the willing prey to her irresistible charms.

A man and a woman on a mission to understand love.

Dariux couldn't wait to leave Victorian England. He was from the future, where he had his carefully engineered life to suit his needs. This expedition to the past was scrambling his senses. Nothing was going right. First, they had accidentally dragged an innocent bystander into the past with them. And now he had an even bigger problem. He couldn't stop thinking about his maddening, alluring colleague. They were here to study love and human relations, not to experience them. Or so he thought.

An expedition to the past.

For Kalli, the attraction between her and her handsome colleague is the perfect opportunity to further her investigation. A chance to conclude a decade-long study and find the answers to the biggest issue facing humanity in her century; the lack of love and human relations. So what if she experiences unprecedented pleasure in the arms of Dariux? It is just a simple, convenient arrangement, right?

And a love that will change the course of their lives.

But once they succumb to passion, nothing is as easy or clear-cut as they thought. Relationships don't fit into a predetermined structure. And when their convenient arrangement turns into so much more, they will realize the stakes are much higher than they thought. And the only way to understand love is to experience it.

To save her home, she must make a daring deal. But if her deception is discovered, it would destroy everything she holds dear.

Life as she knew it is ending for Hannah, the young Duchess of Stanhope. Her elderly husband is dying, and without a son to inherit the dukedom, her beloved home is about to fall into the hands of his despicable nephew. A disaster for everyone who depends on the estate. But when her husband asks her to get pregnant by the sinfully handsome Gabriel Sinclair, the Earl of Brentworth and the duke's bastard son, she balks at the idea. What decent woman would accept such a proposition? Only a desperate one.

Gabriel Sinclair is shocked to learn the Duke of Stanhope is his real father, and scandalized when the duke asks him to get his wife with child. An honorable man would refuse. The duke is persuasive, but by far the greatest temptation is the duchess herself. A woman hes admired from afar, never dreaming he could have.

Caught in a web of deception, danger and guilt, a powerful love blooms between them, but when disaster strikes, Hannah will have to choose between her reputation and her heart. Accepting the deal cost Gabriel his honor, but protecting the woman he loves and the child they created, may cost him everything.

A woman scorned. A man betrayed . When their paths collide, can love save the day, or be their downfall?

Thalia Renier had lost her head. That was the only possible explanation for the reformist lady's involvement with the Murderous Marquess. But when her sister eloped with a known rake, Thalia is desperate to save her from a ruinous marriage, even if it means risking her own reputation—and her heart—at the hands of the brooding marquess.

William Radcliffe, the Marquess of Ashford is a man haunted by betrayal. For years, the widower marquess has spurned London's polite society, taking refuge in the sun-soaked hills of Tuscany to pursue his true passion—sculpting. When word reaches him that his younger brother is on the verge of making a disastrous marital decision, Ashford will do anything to stop the marriage, including joining forces with a delectable muse whose beauty and fire chisels away at the ice encasing his heart.

When Thalia discovers his cold exterior hides an artists soul, falling for him is inevitable, but overcoming her own insecurities to trust his love will prove her biggest challenge. Can Ashford let go of his bitter past to embrace his love for Thalia, or will he let old ghosts destroy their future?
