Lords of Sin

The hellion who changed everything… The pirate who transformed her… Mast Iverson, captain of the brigantine ship Athena, has one firm rule on his voyages across the globe-no women aboard. That all changes when a favor to a friend brings him face-to-face with a golden-eyed goddess who awakens his body-and captivates his soul. Golden Gaverly has a different agenda for the dark, towering sea captain who wants nothing to do with her. Years before, the crew of the Athena killed her parents and left her for dead until she was found and raised by the Arawak tribe. She's waited her whole life for revenge. The only thing standing in her way is Mast Iverson…and a love too strong to be denied.

Her touch is his salvation… His touch is her destiny… She strokes his fevered body with her healing hands and wills the tortured rebel back to life. He's a total stranger, yet Shivahn Armagh feels she's known him forever. Then the Irish beauty discovers he's an Englishman, the enemy she's sworn to hate. Still, she cannot forget the gentle caress of the prisoner she's been sent to revive. She risks her life-and her heart-to set him free. They call him the Griffin, legendary warrior for the Irish cause, an enemy who's eluded the English for years. At last, Kristian Montague is captured and set for execution-a death he welcomes-but his healer refuses to let him escape to hell along with the demons in his soul. Shivahn scorches her way into Kristian's heart even as he resists. She follows him into battle, across perilous seas, determined to uncover his deepest secret, reckless of the danger it might mean to them both…

A damned dream… A breathtaking stranger… A doomed love… He watches her every night rehearsing alone in his theater, her beauty aglow in the gaslights. With every hour that passes, Marcus Stafford is more entranced with the passionate Gabriela Rozina and the dream she refuses to give up. His obsession is dangerous, and he knows it. She can never know who-or what-he is. Gabriela is moved by the stranger with the silver eyes who emerges from the darkness yet brings brilliance to her world. Soon, she wants something more from Marcus than just his mentorship. She begs for his touch, his body, and his heart-but more than anything, to share his dark secret by giving him her blood.

He's dangerous to know… And impossible to resist… Thrown from the carriage she's driving at breakneck speed, Lady Kira Scottney is even more stunned by Damien Sharpe, the midnight-eyed man who rescues her. He looks like a demon incarnate, with a presence that makes her tremble with an unholy desire. Her dilemma worsens when she learns Sharpe is suspected of murdering his first wife-Kira's own cousin. Damien had every reason to distrust Kira Scottney. Her family had labeled him a killer, destroying his life. Stripped of his lands and his good name, Damien considers everything lost-until Kira sweeps into his life. She's unlike any woman he's ever met, a wild beauty filled with innocence, desire, and a fiery spirit to make her very much his equal in their dance of passion and betrayal… And danger.

A past she longs to forget… The truths they can't ignore… Scarred emotionally and physically after surviving an attack by a serial killer preying on London's society women, Gwen Marsh seeks refuge in charity work-until she meets Taylor Stafford. Haunted by his wife's murder at the hands of the Lancer, Stafford seeks her help in bringing the madman to justice. Taylor begs for Gwendolyn Marsh's help so his wife's soul can rest, but he soon finds his vow of revenge paling beside his need to keep Gwen safe. Their shared loss becomes the door to a new love-but a madman is watching. How soon until the Lancer comes after the only victim who survived him…and when he does, will Taylor choose vengeance for his old life, or hope for his new one?
