SCANDAL
With her reputation forever tarnished by a youthful indiscretion, lovely
Emily Faringdon is resigned to a life of spinsterhood, until she embarks
on an unusual correspondence and finds herself falling head over heels
in love. Sensitive, intelligent, and high-minded, her noble pen pal
seems to embody everything Emily has ever dreamed of in a man. But Simon
Augustus Traherne, the mysterious Earl of Blade, is not at all what he
seems. Driven by dark, smoldering passions and a tragic secret buried
deep within his soul, Blade has all of London cowering at his feet, but
not Emily...never Emily. For even as she surrenders to his seductive
charms, she knows the real reason for his amorous suit. And she knows
that she must reach the heart of this golden-eyed dragon before the
avenging demons of their entwined pasts destroy the only love she has
ever known....
RENDEZVOUS
Augusta Ballinger was quite sure that it was all a dreadful mistake. The
chillingly pompous and dangerously disturbing Earl of Graystone could
not possibly wish to marry her. Why, it was rumored that his chosen
bride must be a veritable model of virtue. And everyone knew that
Augusta, as the last of the wild, reckless Northumberland Ballingers,
was a woman who could not be bothered by society's rules. That was why
the spirited beauty had planned a midnight encounter to warn the earl
off, to convince him that she would make him a very poor wife indeed.
But when she crawled in through his darkened study window, Augusta only
succeeded in strengthening Harry's resolve: to kiss the laughter from
those honeyed lips and teach this maddening miss to behave! How could he
possibly know that it was he who was in for a lesson...as his brazen
fiancee set out to win his heart - and an old and clever enemy stepped
in to threaten their love, their honor, and their very lives?
