About this book

Jasper Renshaw, Viscount Vale, has a problem: he needs to marry and produce an heir to the title. All Jasper wants is to find a lady who will put up with him long enough to wed so he can retreat to his life of debauchery--a life that keeps the haunting memories of his past at bay. Knowing that Jasper is under pressure to marry, Melisande Flemming grasps her fate with both hands and volunteers to wed him. Although Jasper is initially only interested in producing an heir, he soon becomes entranced by his wife--prim and proper by day, wanton by night-- and vows to learn her secrets. Melissande, however, is determined to keep her husband at a distance. She has loved, and lost, before, and will do anything to keep him from learning her terrible weakness: she's secretly been in love with him for years. But to her chagrin, her husband pursues her, wooing her as if she were a paramour, not his lady wife. As Melissande and Jasper embark on a passionate game of cat and mouse, secrets from the past begin to resurface.... threatening to tear them asunder.

A Night to Surrender

Tessa Dare

Welcome to Spindle Cove, where the ladies with delicate constitutions come for the sea air, and men in their prime are... nowhere to be found. Or are they? Spindle Cove is the destination of choice for certain types of well-bred young ladies: the painfully shy, young wives disenchanted with matrimony, and young girls too enchanted with the wrong men; it is a haven for those who live there. Victor Bramwell, the new Earl of Rycliff, knows he doesn't belong here. So far as he can tell, there's nothing in this place but spinsters... and sheep. But he has no choice, he has orders to gather a militia. It's a simple mission, made complicated by the spirited, exquisite Susanna Finch—a woman who is determined to save her personal utopia from the invasion of Bram's makeshift army. Susanna has no use for aggravating men; Bram has sworn off interfering women. The scene is set for an epic battle... but who can be named the winner when both have so much to lose? (goodreads.com)

In desperate need of money, bounty hunter Bliss Harrison was overjoyed by the wanted poster for Travis La Mont. She'd get two hundred dollars for catching him---and even though Travis was a well-known lady-killer, Bliss was certain she could ignore his charms long enough to collect the reward! Yet after she captured the square-jawed handsome outlaw and gazed into his smoldering dark eyes, Bliss was no longer certain of anything...Travis was devastatingly seductive, dangerously passionate; and when his clever sweet talk lured her into tasting his heated kisses and savoring his loving, Bliss felt her resolve trembling along with her desire filled heart. HE WANTED HER IN HIS ARMS FOREVER... He was trapped. Held captive at gunpoint by a flame-haired vixen who delighted in having caught him as naked as a jay-bird. Travis La Mont was innocent of robbing that bank, but how was he going to convince this feisty bounty hunter? He knew how to charm women, but one wrong move now and he'd get more than a slap in the face--he'd get a bullet in the back. Yet, despite the danger, Travis was captivated by her boldness and her lush beauty. And when he finally took her in his muscular embrace and felt the storm of passion raging inside her, Travis knew that loving Bliss would be exactly that--pure bliss--and worth any consequences! (
