The Mistaken Miss
Book 7 of The Rakehell Regency Romance Series

The wrong woman!

Philip Marshall’s plans to elope with Johanna Otway go awry when her twin sister Jasmine appears on his doorstep trying to prevent her sibling’s ruination at the hands of London’s most infamous rake.

Far from saving her sister, Jasmine is plunged headlong into disaster, and Philip’s bed. For he does not realize the passionate woman he takes into his embrace is definitely NOT the arctic Johanna until it’s too late.

Philip had fully intended to ruin the Otway family through the seduction of their heiress. He had no idea a nearly identical twin sister even existed. Now he finds himself drawn to Jasmine in the most unexpected ways. Who has seduced whom?

As Philip determines that Jasmine is the one woman in the world who can ever make him truly whole, he decides he does not even care about the Otway family fortune.

Only by coming to terms with his horrendous hidden past, and gaining Jasmine’s trust, can Philip face the future, and win the love of the remarkable woman whom a strange quirk of Fate has bestowed upon him.

Jasmine is a quiet bluestocking who rushes up to London to try to prevent her sister from eloping with the Ton’s most notorious rake.

But the man she meets is completely different from what she ever expected. The magical spark between them produces one unforgettable night of love with far-reaching consequences.

For Jasmine’s father Frederick is nothing if not implacable in his hatred of Philip and his family. He would rather see his own daughter dead than Philip happily in love with her. Frederick sets about ruining both their lives with the deft skill of a cat playing with a mouse.

Johanna too is livid at losing her rich, handsome conquest to her quiet little sister, and is determined to seduce Philip away from Jasmine, the better to help her father ruin him.

Jasmine must trust to love, and uncover the truth about her family and the destruction her father has caused. She is certain that Fate brought them together for a reason, to heal Philip, and grant him true love at long last.

Jasmine transforms thanks to his love, and becomes a fierce tigress to protect the man she adores. She fights tooth and nail for the passionate relationship they have forged through walking through fire together to keep their enemies at bay.

Philip never imagined any woman could ever forgive his dark past, let alone a girl as untouched and innocent as Jasmine. Will his erotic passions be the making of Jasmine, or bring about her ruin?

As she licked her lips nervously, Philip pounced.

She was stunned by the kiss, for the last thing she had ever expected was that the man her sister was getting ready to elope with would actually DARE to presume…

But even more stunning was that rather than filling her with revulsion, Jasmine found her arms creeping around his neck, her lips pressing even more tightly to his own.

His busy hands were already tumbling her thick luxuriant fall of honey-blond hair down over her shoulders, running his fingers through it to loosen the braids so that it flowed freely over her curved back and down across her breasts.

She held her breath as he stroked one tress from the top of her head down past her cheek, neck, shoulder, and finally her bosom.

One hand on her back arched her chest upwards to press tightly to his, and she could feel herself stroking his silk waistcoat, insinuating her fingers into the space between the buttons in an effort to grasp her reeling world and the incredible man who held her in his arms…

The Hungry Heart

The Hungry Heart
Book 2 of The Hunger of the Heart Series
Shannon Farrell
Canada and Ireland, 1847-48

Emer Nugent’s saga continues as she and what remains of her family after their perilous crossing of the Atlantic on a coffin ship now face a whole new set of challenges once they reach Canada.

Emer and Dalton are more in love than ever, but his stunning betrayal of Emer and everyone aboard the Pegasus has the most horrific consequences for them all.

Dalton is powerless to stop the cascade effect his unwitting actions have set in motion, for his father Frederick Randall is nothing if not determined to run his son’s life.

Frederick’s blind ambition has set its sights on the Lyndon Shipwork’s steam fleet, which he plans to get his hands on by forcing Dalton to marry the voluptuous but coldly calculating Madeleine Lyndon.

Emer and her family are caught in an epic battle of wills as she and her family are condemned by Frederick to the hellish quaratine station at Grosse Ile. Once there, every moment brings with it yet another threat to their survival.

Can Dalton get his father to see reason before it’s too late? Or will Emer and Dalton’s love become just another casualty of the Famine, and Frederick’s war with his son?

“I didn’t come here to talk to you about the way you’ve been lying to us all about your real identity. I, well, I came to see Mr. Randolph, so I could say goodbye to him,” Emer said quietly.

Dalton looked up at her again searchingly, almost as if too frightened to hope that she was really sincere.

“The steamship doesn’t leave until eight in the morning. You could say goodbye then,” Dalton whispered softly, testing her.

“There are certain things that can’t be said in front of the others. Besides, I think we’ve done enough talking, don’t you? Actions speak louder than words, so I just came to tell you this….”

Emer sat on his lap and kissed Dalton.

His arms went around her at once. She melted into them as she surrendered herself completely to the exquisite pleasure that only his touch could give…
