Once a powerful laird, now a convicted murderer, Haydon Kent, Marquess of Redmond, had no hope of eluding the hangman's noose — until a mysterious beauty appeared in the dark shadows of his cell. Escaping in the dead of night, he sought only to reclaim his life and prove his innocence. Instead he finds himself imprisoned once again — by an exquisite woman with red-gold hair who soothes his fevered body and tormented soul ... and stirs in him a passion unlike any he has ever known. ...until she imprisoned his heart. An outcast from society, Genevieve MacPhail has devoted her life to rescuing wayward urchins from the brutalities of a corrupt prison system. Harboring an infamous escaped murderer will only imperil the beloved children who have become the center of her world.

Determined to solve the mystery of who was trying to kill him, Genevieve will assume the role of Haydon's wife, only to find herself succumbing to a dangerous desire that could destroy them both.

Quant à Amelia Belford, la richissime jeune Américaine sur laquelle le duc a jeté son dévolu, Jack ne l'a jamais rencontrée.

Incapable de supporter davantage le parfum suffocant des fleurs décorant la chapelle, Jack s'esquive dans le jardin. Soudain, un léger cri lui fait lever les yeux vers la balustrade qui entoure l'église, à plusieurs mètres du sol. La mariée vient de l'enjamber pour se laisser choir dans le vide... Et la voilà qui se relève pour s'enfuir à toutes jambes dans un nage de tulle et de dentelle !

The last thing he expected was to steal her heart… She should have been terrified, but Charlotte surprised even herself when she found herself helping a masked jewel thief. Now, after impulsively escaping in a waiting carriage, she finds herself alone with a dangerously seductive stranger whose identity remains a mystery that could steal not only her heart–but her life. …Unless it was she'd steal his. The robbery was a disaster but the danger was real, and the last thing Harrison Payne, earl of Bryden, planned was to be saved by a willowy, unconventional beauty. Already captivated by her courage and sensuality, Harrison is equally intrigued by her clumsy attempt to blackmail him. But Charlotte is hiding a past–and a secret–as dangerous as his own. And as an enemy seeks to destroy them both, they will abandon themselves to the passionate destiny that has drawn them together...and a chance at a love worth risking everything for.

In a Conspiracy of hearts... When Lady Camelia Marshall barges uninvited into Simon Kent’s London laboratory with a business proposition, she finds the famous inventor not at all as she had imagined. Far from the elderly scholar that she expected, Kent is handsomely dishevelled, surprisingly brawny and decidedly uninterested in helping her pursue the archaeological work of her late father that could make known to the world the stirring secrets of an ancient culture and the mysterious cave paintings of the lost Tomb of Kings. The Survival of love depends on... Though intrigued by the striking unconventional beauty of Lady Camelia, Kent cannot fathom leaving behind his inventions and research to scrabble in the African dirt. But while he may not grasp the magnitude of Camelia’s proposition at once, someone else does—someone willing to go to dangerous lengths to stop Camelia…and anyone associated with her. Suddenly, seduced by the sun-kissed hair and bronzed skin of this gifted and indomitable woman, Kent finds himself drawn into a risky adventure that will lead him to an astonishing paradise he could never have imagined.
