Book Description
Lord Morgan Easton is, first and foremost, an agent of the Crown. To achieve his purposes, he has become Society's golden boy, and a renowned rake. When it's discovered that notorious French spy, Genet, is attending a house party in a small seaside village, he is tasked to infiltrate the gathering and arrest the spy. But first, he must convince a certain woman to become his partner and pose as his wife. The challenge is that she would rather see him dead. Miss Josette Northcott guards her secrets fiercely, trusts few, and enjoys the anonymity that goes along with being the headmistress of a private school in the rookeries. When Lord Morgan offers her a deal she can't refuse, she makes it clear that this is nothing more than a business arrangement. No man, no matter how charming or infuriatingly handsome he is, can know the truth of her sordid and twisted past. As a nefarious plot begins to unfold, threatening the stability of two countries, Morgan and Josette must learn to trust each other in order to stop the assassination of both the King of France and their own prince regent. However, trust does not come easily to either agent, and when the truth of Josette's past is finally unveiled, will they be able to accept that not only is their mission on the line, but their hearts, as well?

Book Description
TO LOVE, HONOUR...AND DISTRUST.In an effort to find a back door into the French King's favor, the ever-conniving Baron Mario de Medici sends his daughter, Viola, off to France to entice Count Gabriel Xavier into marriage. While marrying anyone is the last thing she wants, Lady Viola has her own reasons for going along with this scheme - a dark, coveted secret that she has been protecting since her first jaunt to France, five years prior. A child had been born unto her then, a daughter she has never seen or held, under the most secretive, immoral circumstances. Viola will do anything, legal or illegal, to get her back. If going along with the Baron's underhanded scheme will facilitate her return to France, so be it. Count Gabriel, a bitter widower, and rough-edged Warlord does not want anything to do with the Baron's evil plot to undermine Cosimo, his long-time Italian friend and alliance - and he especially does not want another damn wife. The last one tried to poison him. His trust for any Medici except Cosimo is next to nothing, and that applies to the very enticing Lady Viola as well. This woman is up to something, and he knows it. He feels it. But the more time he spends with her the harder he falls. The deeper she peers into the heart of this rough-edged Warlord the more she sees every reason to trust him--but she can't. She must never let the stark light of truth fall upon her dark, tainted past, and yet she cannot quit until she is reunited with her long-lost child.And so begins the mutually acceptable vow to love, honour...and distrust.

Book Description
Bestselling author Lynn Morris weaves an inspirational Regency era romance rich in period detail. When her stepfather suddenly dies, Valeria Segrave finds she must take charge of her grieving mother and the vast estate which now belongs to her six-year-old half brother, the new Earl of Maledon. Though capable, Valeria is frustrated to find each day brings a new struggle as she tries to establish her authority with servants, stewards, and solicitors-all men. As a young woman with no blood relation to the earl, they are all too ready to dismiss her. Much to her chagrin, she must rely on the assistance of her stepfather's distant kinsman, Alastair, Lord Hylton. He is handsome and noble, and Valeria senses under the veneer of his gentlemanly behavior that she never measures up to his expectations of a refined lady. In light of that, accepting his help and feeling under a burden of gratitude to him is almost unbearable. Even when Valeria leaves the country estate for the glittering London Season, where she gets into a series of escapades, Lord Hylton is always there to witness, criticize, and correct her behavior. But if Alastair insists on engaging in a battle of wits and wills with the lively Valeria, she'll stop at nothing to prove that he's met his match.
