Je vous en prie, prenez ma virginité, l'implora Chelsea. Le duc de Seth n'en revient pas.

Si je ne suis plus vierge, ce dépravé refusera de m'épouser. Quitte à renoncer à sa virginité pour obtenir son indépendance, autant le faire de manière agréable. Et le duc de Seth est si charmant! Mais les jeux de la séduction ne sont pas si simples...

Serena Blythe's plan to escape a life of servitude had gone terribly awry. So she took the only course left to her. She sneaked aboard a sleek yacht about to set sail--and found herself face-to-face with a dangerous, sensual stranger. Beau St. Jules, the Earl of Rochefort, had long surpassed his father's notoriety as a libertine. Less well known was his role as intelligence-gatherer for England. Yet even on a mission to seek vital war information, he couldn't resist practicing his well-polished seduction on the beautiful, disarmingly innocent stowaway. And in the weeks to come, with battles breaking out on the continent and Serena's life in peril, St. Jules would risk everything to rescue the one woman who'd finally captured his heart.

Through eleven nationally bestselling books, award winner Susan Johnson has won a legion of fans for her lushly romantic historical novels. Now she delivers her most thrilling tale yet--a searing blend of rousing adventure and wild, forbidden love... Married against her will to the brutal Russian general who conquered her people, Countess Teo Korsakova has never known what it means to want a man...until now. Trapped behind enemy lines, held captive by her husband's most formidable foe, she should fear for her life. But all Teo feels in General Andre Duras's shattering presence is breathless passion. France's most victorious commander, Andre knows that he should do the honorable thing, knows too that on the eve of battle he cannot afford so luscious a distraction. Yet something about Teo lures him to do the unthinkable: to seduce his enemy's wife, and to let himself love a woman who can never be his.

C'est une folie ! Se donner ainsi à un inconnu... Mais avec ses longs cheveux noirs, sa voix de velours et son corps d'athlète, Igor Duras est irrésistible. Et il en est tout à fait conscient.

Il s'avère en outre un amant incomparable ! N'est-ce pas une chance inespérée ? De son côté, Igor n'est pas moins perplexe. Car l'histoire que raconte cette blonde ingénue ne tient pas debout. Que faisait-elle, nue dans un lit, auprès du cadavre d'un séducteur sans scrupules ? Elle a beau protester de son innocence, n'est-ce pas elle qui l'a tué ? Une seule chose est sûre : elle est absolument ravissante.
