Dominic Eastland, the Duke of Cuthbert, is a known wastrel in polite society, but he harbors an even greater secret. In London’s seedy underworld he’s known as “Avalon,” the leader of a cutthroat gang. However, he’s recently decided it’s time for someone else to rule in his stead. He owes respectability to his line and his brother who died young and never had the chance to inherit the title, so it’s time to put his past transgressions aside and attempt to become an honorable man by doing his duty and taking a wife.
But then he sees her and suddenly he doesn’t want to be that good anymore.

She wants to experience passion and explore what freedoms life has to offer.

From the moment she sees him, she knows he can fulfill her deepest desires.
The attraction between Dominic and Lexie is instant, and although she is continuously warned away from him by the man himself, she is drawn toward him that much deeper. As true villains are revealed, they must embark on a perilous journey that will risk more than just the danger posed to their hearts.

Londyn Juliet Skye

Because things don’t go as planned. I become the prize in a hunt catering to rich, dangerous men. The man who catches me is dark and brutal, but his cruelty is tempered by possessiveness. His darkness tamed by benevolence. He makes me bleed and when he kisses the pain away, I just want more.

I hate him. Fear him. Crave him. He has me in a chokehold but I’m beginning to like being his.

He’s the villain I’m falling in love with.

The Lady’s Daring Gambit
Sandra Sookoo
Historical Romance

She needs to ferret out his secrets. He’s doing his level best to keep them.

Miss Honor Winslow wants revenge. Her father has been missing since the war with Napoleon ended. Then a week ago, a letter arrived from him asking for help, but it wasn’t signed, and no address had been included. Needing answers, she enlists the help of one of her friends, who has connections to the Home Office. If the old, pompous windbags there won’t listen, she will do the job herself, despite her physical difficulties following a minor apoplexy.

All Mr. Gideon McGarrett wants out of life is peace, and nearly forty, it’s finally within reach. Ready to close his last mission, the only thing he needs to do is extract a man of high military rank from where he’s hiding after being wounded. The one thing that stands in the way of a spotless career is the damned interference of a clever and vulnerable woman who insists on joining his mission.

As Honor and Gideon bicker during the journey north, heated awareness springs from forced proximity, and all too soon that desire becomes distracting, especially when a faux engagement is offered out of necessity. Once in the Lake District, when they locate her father, the woman who wants him dead has also arrived. It will take some smart negotiating and perhaps a fight to unravel the mess. Only then can the pair make a go at a life together—if they can stop hiding their emotions and let down their guards to enjoy the ride.
