Bancroft Brothers

Scandal's daughter . . . Madeleine Willits was shunned by London society for a scandal that was no fault of hers, and forced to seek a paid position in the country. So when Quinlan Bancroft, Marquis of Warefield, comes to direct the household during his uncle's illness, Maddie is determined to detest the nobleman on sight. But though the marquis is easy to dislike, the man himself is a different matter. Small wonder, then, that Maddie quite forgets herself when he enfolds her in a sweet embrace . . . Meets the noble lord . . . Caught kissing his uncle's lovely young companion, Quinlan feels he should make amends, and uses his rank to re-establish Miss Willits in society. Unfortunately, it is soon apparent that Maddie has no idea how to resist importunate young rakes who deem her ripe for the plucking. But Maddie knows there is only one rake whose attentions she truly needs to fear-because only Quinlan Bancroft possesses the power to break her heart.

Only she can satisfy . . . When Rafe Bancroft wins Forton Hall in a card game, this rogue finds himself saddled with responsibility he cannot wait to foist off. The sooner he can sell the blasted estate, the sooner he can be off on his next adventure. Yet he doesn't count on running into the very alluring Felicity Harrington, who ignites an all-consuming desire in him quite like no other woman. His restless desire . . . Felicity is enraged to learn that Rafe is now in charge of her ancestral home. Vowing to rescue herself and her family from ruin at the hands of the handsome rake, Felicity must devise a plan. But she is distracted by thoughts of what it would feel like to kiss her irresistible enemy-an enemy who can bring her the greatest downfall . . . or the most exquisite passion.
