The Truth About Lord Stoneville  

The oldest of the scandalous Sharpes—five hell-raising siblings tainted still by the gossip surrounding the “accidental” deaths of their parents two decades ago-—Oliver Sharpe, the Marquess of Stoneville, like his brothers and sisters, has lived life on his own terms. In his case, as an unrepentant rakehell. Or so life had played out until Grandmother Hetty got a bee in her bonnet. Now the five Sharpe siblings face a daunting ultimatum: Marry by year’s end—or kiss their inheritance good-bye.

Oliver vows to fulfill the bargain in true Sharpe style—by bringing home a fake fiancé from a brothel! But his scheme backfires when he foils a robbery and rescues an American beauty instead. Maria Butterfield came to London to find her missing fiancé, but her prior engagement won’t stop Oliver from getting what he wants: Maria in his bed. His rebellious charade may just call Hetty’s bluff, but not before it become all too real—stirring up a love that tempts him to be a hellion no more.

The Forbidden Lord  

Jordan Willis, the Earl of Blackmore, is known for his exploits with experienced bedmates and his avoidance of innocents.  Having never been in love, he’s well earned the nickname: “Lord of the Granite Heart.”  So you could forgive him for being caught off guard when a chance encounter with the prim Emily Fairchild, a rector’s daughter no less, prompts him to steal a kiss.  Stunned by her passionate response, Jordan presumes their paths will not cross again when he meets the flirtatious Lady Emma, supposed daughter of a Scottish Earl . . . and a double for the lovely Emily.

Emily may be fooling society but she doesn’t fool Jordan. Yet her life depends on remaining Lady Emma to the ton.  Can the Lord of the Granite Heart be trusted with her secret despite his jaded take on love?
