A Duke Worth Falling For


Book Description

Her career in tatters, celebrity photographer Lilah Rose needs somewhere to regroup and start fresh, outside of the spotlight. There’s nowhere better to hide than the English countryside, complete with fluffy sheep, rolling hills…and Max, the stern, sexy farmer who tends to them. But the lazy days and lush nights with Max aren't as far from the spotlight as Lilah thinks. He isn’t simply a farmer—he’s also a duke: young, handsome and powerful…and too aware of how a title can dazzle, making the man inside invisible. What’s the harm in playing the farmer for a while? After all, Lilah isn’t staying… Soon, Max is imagining just that, though--wondering what it would be like to have her on his land, in his life, in his bed forever. For that, he’s going to need to tell her the truth…and hope he can convince her that he’s a duke worth falling for.




A Duke Worth Fighting For

Daniel Hayle, Duke of Carlisle, returned from Waterloo a hero, and he has the wounds to prove it.

What he needs is someone to help him practice socializing with the ton. Someone who isn’t frightened away by his scars . . . Margery Kitteridge is still mourning the loss of her husband. So when she receives a blackmail letter accusing him of desertion, she’s desperate to protect his reputation. The answer to her troubles appears in the form of a damaged, reclusive—and much-too-desirable—duke in need of a wife.

But working so closely together awakens passions they never imagined possible, and reveals secrets that might tear them apart.




Worth of a Duke

He saves her from getting trampled by a thief’s horse, but then becomes insistent on showing her where she truly is. A duke refusing to deny fate. Fate tossed Miss Theaton into his path, and Rowen Lockton, the Duke of Letson, is not one to deny fate. But the woman comes with a host of problems, not the least of which is her belief that she is in another country. An undeniable attraction neither expected. He was not looking for a wife. She was only searching for home. But fate has very different plans for the two of them—if they can survive not only forgotten secrets, but demons of the past. The Lords of Fate: Steamy historical romance featuring strong women, undeniable men, and hold your breath adventure.
