All Things Beautiful by Cathy Maxwell



ALL FOR LOVE

Lady Julia Markham's mediterranean-blue eyes and daring spirit made her the toast of the season, until she attempted to elope with a man who then betrayed her. By the strict standards of London society, Julia was ruined.

Three years later, desperate and penniless, Julia agreed to marry Brader Wolf, a self-made merchant who was unwelcome in aristocratic drawing rooms. Yet Julia was determined to make her businesslike marriage bloom-and found herself inexplicably drawn to her magnetic and dangerous husband. Breathless passion awaited her with Brader, but Julia's heart could settle for nothing less than the love of a lifetime.

Because of You by Cathy Maxwell


A reckless rake returns home, richer, but not completely reformed…and soon finds himself wed to the vicar’s daughter. But is he worthy of the love of this innocent temptress? Or will this be a marriage in name only?

A SCANDALOUS WEDDING

Pretty Samantha Northrup knew her duty was to marry, but this orphaned vicar's daughter wanted to be swept off her feet by someone whose kisses made her toes curl. She never dreamed her orderly life would be turned upside down when a mysterious stranger came knocking on her door one stormy night. And when they were found in a compromising position, she found herself marrying a man she barely knew . . . but couldn't resist.

A NOT SO CONVENIENT MARRIAGE

What Samantha doesn't know is that her unknown bridegroom is Yale Carderock, the disinherited son of a duke, banished by his father years before. Now the prodigal has returned --- rich, but only somewhat reformed. Yale is bewitched by his bride's innocent fire, and he knows he's powerless to resist her awakening sensuality. But is this outcast from society worthy of her tender love?

Temptation of a Proper Governess by Cathy Maxwell



Society dictates that a governess should be modest, quiet, and keep to herself.

She should never contradict her employer.

And, above all, she must not attract the attention of any male in the household.

But Michael Severson doesn't see Isabel Halloran as a governess -- he sees her as a woman, one whose lush curves cannot be hidden behind a dowdy gown ... and whose efforts at hiding her sparkling intelligence are betrayed by her wit.

Years before, Michael had left Regency England, falsely accused of a crime. Now he is back, dedicated to seeking retribution -- but not to taking a bride. But when his scandalous actions compromise Isabel's reputation, he does the unthinkable and offers her his hand -- a marriage in name only.

But although his bride's passions are untried, Isabel's sensuality clearly matches his own. And with each day, and night, that passes, Michael becomes determined that every kiss, every caress, will be made with one goal: to seduce his proper wife into tender submission.

The Lady Is Tempted by Cathy Maxwell


Sometimes the opportunity to misbehave is very tempting indeed, even for the most well-bred young lady.

Marry the local vicar -- a stodgy man with six impossible children -- never! Deborah Percival is determined to discover passion in a man's arms, not duty in a dull marriage. And when she becomes stranded at a countryside inn, tantalizing Anthony Aldercy, the Earl of Burnell, offers her the chance to fulfill her dreams. Deborah knows she should say no -- but how can she resist?

The Lady is tempted...

The earl is determined to repair his roguish reputation -- and a marriage to a demure highborn lady of the ton will do this -- but he cannot deny Deborah's charms. Her lush curves tease his senses, while her delicious honesty touches his heart. But when she disappears, he's desperate, so he searches all of London to find her, refusing to rest until he brings her into his life -- and his arms -- again.

Perhaps Deborah is not the only one being tempted...
