About this ebook series
The London rookeries are slums, rife with criminals, and shunned by the upper crust.
But someone there intends to murder one of England's greatest leaders, and Marcus Kane, Lord Chadwick, will follow every clue, even into the bowels of London's underground. But he can't find his way alone.
A partner is required.
Fantine (Fanny) Delarive is perfect. She knows the slums better any, has survived its labyrinth alone for years, and knows every criminal lurking in every dark corner.
Then, the investigation detours the pair into the bright ballrooms of the ton.
And Fantine fits in here, too.
Which changes everything.
Lord Chadwick knows a woman of Fantine's ilk is entirely unsuitable for him. But she's infinitely more exciting than any well-born lady he's ever met.
Now much more than an acquaintance with the independent, self-reliant Fantine is required... and it must end with nothing less than marriage.

Lynette is a penniless relation, thanks to the sudden death of her father.
Refusing to burden her extended family, Lynette resigns to the inevitable: selling herself into marriage.
But to whom?
Viscount Marlock—a carnal, unrepentant, dark-devil of a man—has offered to arrange a profitable match.
But for a price.
The Viscount will teach her all she must know about ensnaring a man—using touch and tongue—opening her to the pleasures of the flesh. In turn, she must obey without question, trusting his whispered promises.
But who will be caught, and who will be saved?
REVIEWS:
"A luscious bonbon of a read—the education of an innocent, hot sensual, romantic, and fun!" ~USA Today bestselling author Thea Devine

In the last ten years, Carolly Hanson has died six times. First in a car crash, then of TB. Beaten, stoned, and shot in the back. The last time, she suffocated from pneumonia.
Now she's awake, again, and in the arms of James Oscar Henry Northram, Earl of Traynern.
Carolly Hanson must be in training to be an angel. Why else would she keep dying and reappearing in different places and times? Clearly she is to help people, help them find true love, if she is to win her wings.
And the handsome Earl, clearly a stiff-backed, dark-brooding man of means, will be her next victim—er, beneficiary.
James Oscar Henry Northram is fascinated by Carolly's odd sense of humor, and compelled by her strange forthright manner and complete lack of interest in trapping him into marriage.
He also thinks poor Carolly is a Bedlam escapee and isn't the least bit interested in the women she keeps pushing in his direction.
Why must Carolly be forced to suffer death only to live again? Could the answer be as close as his embrace?
REVIEWS:
"A refreshingly unique "time travel" (loosely speaking) for fans who delight in something rather different." ~Harriet Klausner, Amazon.com #1 reviewer
"Light, airy and sometimes deadly serious. An intriguing tale." ~Rendezvous Reviews Online

4.1star
His family slaughtered in far-off China, young Jacob Cato finds sanctuary in a Xi Lin temple. There he heals and learns to be strong.
Now, Jacob wishes to join his care-takers as a full member of the temple and is told he must first return to his homeland and make peace with his English inheritance.
At Evelyn Stanton’s lavish wedding, the bald-headed Chinese monk striding down the center aisle is shocking. Watching that man dispatch three groomsmen, unarmed, then learning he is the long-lost heir to the Earldom of Warhaven and the new groom, is even more so.
But Evelyn Stanton isn't the typical blushing bride. A fully realized woman, she isn't about to marry the very non-English Jacob Cato just because she was betrothed to him when she was six.
At the sight of the very beautiful and very English Evelyn Stanton, Jacob's body burns with an unexpected passion as the past he thought forgotten takes new form. The murderer who slaughtered his family and left him for dead will pay. His lawful English heritage will be claimed and he will have the woman who is rightfully his.
REVIEWS:
"...hypnotic..." ~Romance Reviews Today
"An exotic and emotional historical romantic tale of self discovery... Stunning and highly evocative..." ~ParaNormalRomance.org
