Ravished
Book 12 of The Rakehell Regency Romance Series
Sorcha MacMurrough

Rakish Matthew Dane is out on the Town for a bit of adventure and variety.  Visiting a new brothel he has never tried before, he is presented with the most delectable woman he has ever seen, who is tied to the bed and blindfolded.

Thinking it is no more than an erotic game, Matthew and the alluring young woman share the ultimate bliss–until he takes off her blindfold, and discovers he has just made love to his young chaste cousin Althea.

Kidnapped from her home and sold, the orphaned young woman has no recollection of how she got there, and is terrified that whoever grabbed her will try to seize her again. All she knows is that she has always desired Matthew, and fate seems to have presented her with all she could wish for in their heated embraces.

Matthew is torn between his yearnings for Althea, with every touch and look leaving him craving more of her sensual sweetness, and his shock at what he has done. He is even more haunted by what  might have happened if he had not come along in time to save her.

He can only see one solution: marry Althea and give her the protection she needs as his wife. But the accomplished rake is at a loss as to how to deal with the delicately beautiful woman, and has no belief in love, only lust.

Althea has been in love with Matthew for as long as she can remember. Tired of being treated like a victim or empty-headed Society belle, she wages a campaign to put behind her the traumatic ordeal which brought them together.

Althea is willing to fight using every weapon in her arsenal to win Matthew’s love, and stop her husband from seeking solace with the many women who wish to be his mistress.

When another young woman goes missing near her childhood home, Althea must risk all in a depraved and deadly game to save the imprisoned girl. Althea will stop at nothing to uncover the identity of the criminal mastermind who has engineered the ring of debauchery lurking under the pleasant facade of aristocratic society.

The thought of losing Althea is more than Matthew can bear-can he save his beloved before it’s too late?

Innocence

Book 10 of The Rakehell Regency Series

Sorcha MacMurrough

Randall Avenel the Earl of Hazelmere’s plans for a liaison with the talented courtesan known as ‘The Eternal Virgin’ go awry when impoverished heiress Isolde Drake appears on his doorstep to apply for the job of paid companion to his aging mother.

Having refused to support her family by compromising her virtue with Chauncey Howell, to whom Isolde had been engaged before her family lost all their money, Howell decides to take revenge on her by sending Isolde unescorted to the home of the Earl, the most prominent rake of the Ton. The scandal is sure to ruin her, provoke a duel with his enemy Randall, and drive Isolde into his own bed.

Chauncey doesn’t forsee Isolde’s overwhelming desire for Randall, or the fascination the beautiful and spirited young woman begins to exert upon the world-weary rake tormented by his own sins.

Who has seduced whom? Has the jaded young Earl met his match at last? Only by coming to terms with his shadowy past and the crimes he is sure he is guilty of, can Randall ever be free to love again.

Only through learning about the enigmatic woman whom his enemy has bestowed upon him, can Randall face the future, and allow his experience to be tempered by innocence. Only though trusting to love can the vanquish the enemies who will stop at nothing to destroy Randall and his family….

“I am mad, darling Isolde,” he said, taking her hand to kiss it once more. “Mad for you to be my wife, to give yourself to me in every way. And to let me give myself to you the way I’ve never given myself to any woman.”

Randall reached for her waist now, but she suddenly grew fearful of the raving passion that tore through her with his slightest touch.

“This is too much,” she said, cowering away from his questing hands. “Please. Just let me go. I want to go home to Surrey.”

His face fell. “I can’t be responsible for your ruin like this.”

“You aren’t. Howell will be if he bruits it about. But you cannot be given a life sentence for a crime you did not commit.”

“What if I want to be prisoner to your charms, Isolde, without any hope of parole?”

“Please, Randall, this is no laughing matter, and I would not want you condemned to a life of misery.”

“But what if that’s all I deserve?” he said under his breath.

She stared at him now, stunned. “You want to punish yourself by marrying me? What on earth-”

He reached for her with desperate eagerness, desire shining in his lapis blue eyes. “No! No, not at all. I want and need you. I would be lost if you walked out that door now without giving me a chance to redeem myself.”

DESTINY LIES WAITING

Book 1 of The Yorkist Saga

Diana Rubino

Beautiful orphaned Denys has been brought up a member of the Woodville family. The War of the Roses finally at an end, the Woodvilles have clawed their way to power thanks to her scheming Aunt Elizabeth, wife of the new Yorkist king Edward IV.

But despite all the opportunities that seem to lay before her, Denys longs for something more. She has always felt an outsider in her own home, an unwanted orphan whose past no one ever dares speak of. Unwilling to become a pawn in her aunt’s bid for ultimate power, Denys determines to seek the truth about her own mother and father, and her true identity.

Valentine Starbury, loyal ally to young Richard, Duke of Gloucester, the King’s brother, agrees to woo Denys in order to save his friend from the queen’s plot for Richard and Denys to wed. Valentine undertakes this for the sake of friendship, but unexpectedly begins to fall in love with Denys, thus earning the enmity of the manipulative queen.

As Denys and Valentine grow ever closer, the forces their affair unleash have the most stunning consequences for the couple, and those in their close circle. Their passion sparks off a cataclysmic chain of events which threatens the very foundation of the English throne, and will have far-reaching consequences for the whole of England itself.

The shock of hitting the water was nothing compared to what assailed her senses next. Valentine’s arms wound round Denys and brought her to her feet. Their brief contact sent the stars and all their brilliance searing through her body, as this intense surge drained all her energy.

They stood now, both waist-deep in the water. Her bodice clung to her breasts, rising and falling rhythmically as she breathed. She could feel his intensifying breath fanning across her cheek.

Before he could touch her any further, she stumbled out of the water, dragging her skirts behind her, her fists flailing through the air to fend him off, even as her arms ached to pull him closer…

The Wildest Heart
Jacinta Carey
Setting: Wyoming, 1865

Rebecca Whitaker is struggling to keep her family ranch from foreclosure by trading with the Shoshone Indians, working in a saloon, and raising horses. Enter the mysterious Walker Pritchard, claiming he wishes to stay with Reb to leave the memories of the war behind and learn about the ways of the west.

Their intense attraction starts to turn to love, a new and dazzling experience for them both. But can Reb trust Walker? What are his real motives for coming to the Bar T, and how did he know there would be gold in those hills?

Falsely accused of murder, Walker must make a terrible choice between telling the truth to clear his name, but putting Reb’s family at even greater risk than they face already, or trying to defend himself without revealing all that happened at the fateful battle of Richmond.

As their enemies close in, Reb must fight to discover the truth in time to save Walker as well as her ranch from the unscrupulous men who will destroy anyone or anything in the way of their worldly ambitions.

Walker heaved up the two pails onto his shoulders using a tree branch as a makeshift yoke, and went stumping into the kitchen.

He put the pails down, and looked up to see a naked woman with the loveliest figure he had ever set eyes on rising from the foam. His mouth went dry. The tree branch fell with a clatter.

Reb’s aqua eyes met Walker’s black ones briefly, before she ducked back down into the suds with a small squeak.

“Walker, really, you should have shouted or something before you came stomping in here like that,” Reb grumbled, as she turned completely crimson.

“I ,uh, I am sorry, Rebel, uh, but,” Walker stammered, as she avoided his gaze and sank down even deeper into the suds until he could barely see her.

“But, Rebel, you could have just told me you were a woman, instead of playing such a silly game,” he began to scold.

“What game?”

“I thought you were a boy!”

Though how he could ever have made that error, he thought as he recalled the sight of her curves, he had no idea…
