Daring Dukes

Princess Sarani Rao has it all: beauty, riches, and a crown. But with her father an Indian maharajah and her late mother a British noblewoman, her mixed blood makes her a pariah and a target. When her father is murdered, her only hope of survival is to escape on the next ship out — captained by the man she once loved... and spurned. Captain Rhystan Huntley, the reluctant Duke of Embry, has a place in the English fleet, which he's loath to give up. But duty is calling him home, and this is his final voyage. Leave it to fate that the only woman he's ever loved must stow away on his ship.

Born to a life of privilege, Lady Ravenna Huntley rues the day that she must marry. She's refused dozens of suitors and cried off multiple betrothals, but running away-even if brash and foolhardy-is the only option left to secure her independence. Lord Courtland Chase, grandson of the Duke of Ashvale, was driven from England at the behest of his cruel stepmother. Scorned and shunned, he swore never to return to the land of his birth. But when a twist of bad luck throws a rebellious heiress into his arms at the very moment he finds out he's the new Duke, marriage is the only alternative to massive scandal. Both are quick to deny it, but a wedding might be the only way out for each of them. And the attraction that burns between them makes Ravenna and Courtland wonder if it'll truly only be a marriage of convenience after all...

Lady Bronwyn Chase is far from the paragon of society that her mother expects her to be. That's how she finds herself on her brother's passenger liner bound for America carrying a secret packet of letters that could get her into trouble-the kind of trouble that a duke's sister shouldn't be in, the kind that puts spymaster Valentine Medford, the Duke of Thornbury, on her trail. Serious trouble. But as the duke gets closer to Bronwyn and the secrets she's keeping, he'll have to decide between the mysterious woman who calls to him or his allegiance to the Crown.

Lady Lisbeth Medford, Countess of Waterstone and famed international spy, is caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. On a covert mission, she's determined to infiltrate a notorious smuggling ring in the West Indies as a ship's captain...only her identity has been compromised. Leaving her pursuers in ashes, she boards her vessel to flee, but the men on her heels will stop at nothing until she's paid the piper. The trouble to her front, however, is Raphael Saint, the Duc de Viel, her ship's new aggravating and dangerously charming sailing master who might very well be part of the smuggling ring Lisbeth must bring to justice. But when a new deadly threat on the high seas looms, the only way out of danger might be to face it...together.
