Perks of Being an Heiress

It's British versus American in this engaging battle of wits! British private investigator, Thomas Kincaid, thinks he's seen it all . . . until a gorgeous, soaking-wet American shows up and demands he help her find a stolen family heirloom. Having had his heart crushed once before by a beautiful woman, Kincaid has no intention of tempting fate a second time. But Joanna Thorncroft isn't about to take no for an answer. Joanna has to find her mother's ring and discover the secrets it contains. Secrets that have brought her all the way across the Atlantic and onto the doorstep of a sinfully handsome detective. While falling in love is the furthest thing from her mind, fiercely independent Joanna can't help but find herself drawn to Kincaid . . . and the blazing passion that soon threatens to consume them. But when the scandalous truth about the ring's history is unveiled, it changes both the past and the present. If Joanna and Kincaid want a future together, they must risk everything to get it . . . including their hearts. Contains mature themes.

Sometimes love is hiding in the unlikeliest of earls . . . Evelyn Thorncroft wants to marry a duke, but she'll settle for an earl. The Earl of Hawkridge, to be precise. The only problem? Weston cannot stand the sight of her. At least, that's what he says. Their passionate kisses, however, tell a very different story . . . From the first moment he sees Evie across a crowded ballroom, Weston desires her. The dark-haired American is beautiful, intelligent, and charming. The only problem? She's a money-grubbing hoyden after his family's fortune. At least, that's what Weston tells himself. His heart, however, tells a very different story . . . Trapped under the same roof during a house party, Evie and Weston struggle to control their blistering chemistry. Neither are looking for love, and past hurts have made them far too cynical to believe in happily-ever-after. But when two wounded hearts (and an orphaned lamb) are involved, anything is possible . . . including true love. Contains mature themes.

A promise made... When Lady Brynne Weston was just fourteen, she made a pact with her brother's friend, Lord Lachlan Campbell, a charming Scottish boy with a rebellious streak that called to her own sense of adventure. If, in ten years, neither was married, they would marry each other. The promise was sealed with a stick of sugar, and then forgotten about... until almost a decade later when Lachlan comes to claim his prize. A promise broken... The charming, rebellious boy has grown into a charming, dangerously seductive man. And try as she might, Brynne is helpless against the smoldering passion that flares between them. Everything is perfect... until a devastating secret comes to light. A promise that cannot be denied... Betrayed by the man she loves; Brynne flees back to England and resumes her old life as if nothing is amiss. But try as she might, she cannot forgive - or forget - the husband she left. When Lachlan unexpectedly returns to win her back, sparks flame anew... but are the ashes of old desires left denied enough to ignite a fire hot enough to burn away old hurts? One thing is certain... this Scot isn't leaving without his prize. Contains mature themes.

She is a wallflower with a pet squirrel. He is a scoundrel who stands accused of murdering his mistress. They're not exactly a match made in high society heaven. But sometimes when two souls are hurting, they turn in a most unexpected direction... Sterling Nottingham, Duke of Hanover, didn't plan on kissing Rosemary Stanhope. It was a complete accident, spurred on by too much gin and a temporary loss of sanity. Unfortunately, now that he knows what she tastes like, kissing her again, this time on purpose-is all he can think about. Rosemary was as surprised as the Duke of Hanover when he kissed her. The sinfully handsome rakehell isn't exactly known for paying much attention to wallflowers. Yet for some reason, their paths keep crossing... and before long she finds herself falling for the one man who loves her for who she is, squirrel and all. But just when the happily-ever-after is within their reach, an old foe returns... forcing Sterling to choose between the demons of his past or the wallflower that he can't live without. Contains mature themes.
