Beguiled Anew – Book 18 of The Rakehell Regency Romance SeriesThe love story of Miranda Dane Lyons and George Davenant continues as George races against time to save the woman he loves from certain death. Miranda is determined to fight her way back to the man she loves, even though his secrets threaten any hope they may have of securing a happy future together.

But Miranda has secrets of her own, not least of which is her true identity as a wealthy heiress from a prominent family, not a country girl down on her luck as George has assumed.

Rather than allowing the Rakehells and her family to seek justice for all she endures at the hands of the cunning men who have been scheming to keep the couple apart, Miranda goes after the nest of intriguers who have wronged both her and all of the Rakehells ever since the war against Napoleon began.

Miranda is willing to carry her mission of justice and revenge right to the upper reaches of the shadowy halls of British power politics if it means keeping the people she loves most in the world safe from their nefarious plots.

As George and Miranda’s love grows through the adversity they share, so too does their danger, as the power-hungry plotters threaten to sweep aside the new King of England, George IV, and restore Napoleon to his former glory as master of all Europe….

Campaign For LoveAnnabelle Stevens, Sorcha MacMurroughModern Romance, SensualTired of being hassled over her gorgeous looks, Suzanna Sills disguises herself by dressing down in order to get a wonderful new job in a top-notch advertising agency. However, she soon begins to regret her frumpy new appearance when she has to work side by side with the gorgeous Quentin Pierce.

Quentin hasn’t failed to notice that his talented new co-worker has more to her than meets the eye. But office intrigues get them both into a spin. Is Suzanna really the marketing genius she appears to be? Or is she a corporate spy set out to destroy the agency from within?

Only by learning to trust one another can they avoid losing the biggest ad campaign of their lives. But do they dare trust their hearts as well? Are Suzanna and Quentin willing to risk all for the sake of the fiery passion that flares between them every time they meet?

The more she gets to know her elusive new boss, the more Suzanna is determined to get her way in both the boardroom and the bedroom, making the both winners in this battle of the sexes one if they choose to join forces and campaign for love…

“God, Suzanna,” he breathed, “you’re the most incredible woman I’ve ever seen!”

Suzanna stood motionless in the dim light that concealed her flaming cheeks, but not her rapid breathing, or the deep rise and fall of her breasts under the filmy material as she stood before him in her lace and silk robe.

Her ragged breathing finally seemed to bring Quentin to his senses. He stopped his hand midway before he did the unthinkable, and summoning all his strength, resisted the temptation to pull her into his own room and spread her on his bed as he had ached to for so long. Instead, he retreated back behind the safety of the box hedge that divided their private terraces and heaved a ragged sigh.

“I seem to be apologizing to you all the time, Suzanna. I had no right to invade your privacy, or to ogle you. I couldn’t blame you if you despised me.”

She laughed bitterly. “Am I really that unattractive, that you can’t bear to touch me? Just when I thought we were getting past all the strain of working together and starting to become, well, friends?”

“No, of course you’re not unattractive! What did I just say to you? What were we just doing a moment ago? Surely that must tell you how I think of you.”

“They stop talking, and just start feeling.” With more bravado than she really felt, she opened the lacy robe and let it drop to the floor. She stood like a voluptuous nymph bathed in moonlight, her wide, sensuous mouth curved in an inviting smile.

Summoning up all her courage, she held out her arms to the man she ached for in a silent plea….

Madness
Book 16 of The Rakehell Regency Romance Series
Sorcha MacMurroughFreedom, and love, or death!

Gabrielle Howell enters the hellish asylum of Bedlam in London when her sister Lucinda is committed as insane by her husband the Earl of Oxnard. During a riot at the asylum, Gabrielle is rescued by a handsome inmate known only as Simon, who seems to make an awful lot of sense for someone supposedly deranged.

Drugged and suffering from a mysterious malady, Simon cannot remember his past. All his records seem to indicate he is a deadly killer incarcerated by his prominent family. But the more Gabrielle gets to know the fiercely intelligent and gentle man, the more she has her doubts that this could ever be true. Simon is principled, kind, and certainly no murderer. The passion that sparks between them is like nothing she has ever known, heady and addictive.

Simon isn’t sure if the gorgeous woman he has held in his arms is real, or a figment of his opium-addled brain. All he knows is, it’s true love, a gift from the gods he will never give up, except in death. Even as their love deepens, the danger swarms in all around them. Will allowing themselves to love one other prove to be Gabrielle and Simon’s salvation, or sheer madness?

An excerpt from the novel:

Simon began to tease Gabrielle, rippling his fingers over her peaks and valleys with a surety of touch which set her hips thrusting against his hand so desperately, he had all to do not to take her there and then.
He whispered in her ear, “If we were alone, do you know what I would do?”
She shook her head.
“Do you want me to tell you?” he asked, nuzzling her ear and nibbling the lobe.
“Mmm,” she sighed through parted lips.
“I would lick you all over, running my tongue inside and out. Explore you fully with it, and my fingers, and finally my straining manhood. Penetrate you with all three until you melted against me and called out my name. I would wander over every part of your body, so that you would know my touch everywhere. I’d possess you utterly, so that you could never think of anything but my caresses, my passion. Oh God, Gabrielle, j’ai besoin de toi.”
“I need you too, Simon,” she panted, before feasting on his mouth with her own.

Reviews:
This endlessly creative and talented author has done it again, producing a chilling and clever Regency Noir with strong Gothic elements and a couple who go through hell on earth in order to win each other’s love.

Bedlam insane asylum is not the most likely place for a genteel young woman to find her lover, but Gabrielle knows there is more to Simon than meets the eye. He comes to her rescue during a riot at the asylum, saving Gabrielle and her ill sister Lucinda, who is pregnant. Gabrielle is determined to repay the handsome but mysterious inmate whose slightest touch sets her afire.

Though warned off the supposedly mad inmate by her cousin Antony, she seeks the truth about Simon’s unfair imprisonment, and tries to wean him from the opium his captors have forced him to take to keep him in their control. Gabrielle’s investigations soon sweep up all of her friends and family in a whirlwind of espionage and murder. Gabrielle must be at her most resourceful and clever as she seeks to save Simon from the hell on earth he has been forced to endure for the sake of his country during the Napoleonic wars.

Once again, the author has penned a truly romantic book with an intimate and emotionally connected couple who share the most fabulous love scenes. I really enjoy the way that her ordinary men and women are called upon to do the most extraordinary things to win the happily ever after of their one true love. Simon and Gabrielle are exceptional, a couple you will remember long after you have finished reading the book.
