A Worthy Wife



Love With A Perfect Stranger

Aurora Halle McPhee, a girl of humble (some might say unconventional) background, cannot believe her luck when she is betrothed to the dashing, well-bred Harland Podell. Aurora soon learns, however, that the match is too good to be true when the nuptials are interrupted--by the brother of the groom's wife!

Kenyon Warriner, Earl of Windham, is determined to foil that bigamous bounder Podell, before he disgraces another innocent female as he did Kenyon's own sister. The earl will save Mis McPhee's honor.

Even if he must wed her himself...

Truly Yours



TRUE COLORS

Amanda Carville has no friends, no family, no dowry, no reputation, and no one who believes her innocent of murdering the man responsible for her misfortunes. Why should they, when she was found holding the gun that killed her stepfather?

Viscount Rexford has troubles of his own. He's scarred by a war injury and cursed--or blessed--with the family gift of knowing the truth when he hears it, and his success at extracting the truth from military prisoners has left many doubting his honor and his methods. When Amanda tells him she didn't pull the trigger, he knows she's true-blue. But Rex is retired from the truth business, and he refuses to get involved in her desperate case... until his heart gives him no choice.

A Suspicious Affair



MURDER AND IMPENDING MOTHERHOOD ARE HARDLY TWO CONDITIONS TO ATTRACT LONDON'S MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR!

Handsome Lord Kimbrough was the last person to see the victim alive. Drawn into the ensuing scandal, he found himself entangled in a skein of suspicion, accusations, and something that bordered disturbingly on romance ....

The Painted Lady



A Private Sitting...

Beneath Miss Lilyanne Bannister's starched facade was a wildcat who dreamed of wearing pink satin, dancing till dawn, and riding cross-country astride. But even Lilyanne wasn't daring enough to get involved with Kennard Cartland, the Duke of Caswell. As dashing as the devil, he'd have been a perfect match if not for the rumors that he was a collector of broken hearts. An isolated portraitist who preferred a woman in oils to one of flesh and blood, he was also said to be completely daft. But the more Lilyanne heard, the more intrigued she became. Perhaps this would finally be her Season to give in to a dangerously irresistible temptation, and discover for herself what she and the duke had to offer each other....

For Love...or Money?

Miss Ada Westlake doesn't consider herself a fool...but everyone else seems to. Though her family is nearly destitute, she has just turned down another proposal from the best catch in the county. Chas--otherwise known as Viscount Ashmead--has asked many times before and Ada, fearful of ruining their friendship with a marriage of convenience, has made him swear never to ask again.

She appears determined to defeat the possibility of financial salvation at every turn. But Ada doesn't mean to be foolish--only to uphold her principles...

Now, Chas must convince "Addled Ada" to see reason--about the money, and most importantly, about him. Because the greatest treasure of all is true love...
