He’s an aristocrat turned card-player.
She’s a small-town girl turned actress.
They didn’t gamble on love.
Or murder.

Jess Sullivan has one goal: to return home to the “good girl” life she foolishly forfeited in the name of love. First, though, she’s determined to save enough money to pay back what her absentee husband stole from her family. She is immune to romance and footloose philanderers, especially silver-tongued card players like Lee Montgomery. Definitely, absolutely, immune to him.

Lee doesn’t believe it. From the moment he meets the beautiful actress he is dead-set on a torrid affair.  Nothing more, though, for his shallow heart cannot fall in love.

Until it does.

Lee knows himself; he is incapable of fidelity. And even if he wanted to marry, his proper Boston family demands he choose a wife of pristine reputation—not a married Irish actress. He should leave. He should. He’s still trying to convince himself of that when Jess’s stage manager is murdered, and he and Jess are framed for it. . .

Three dead husbands, one desperate proposal. . .

Morgan Turner is a wanted woman. After accidentally killing her third husband, the former English noblewoman flees Philadelphia and lands in Boston. Destitute, she breaks into the offices of Ward Montgomery, the kind-hearted captain of the ship that brought her to America. When he catches her, the attraction that simmered between them during that voyage flares. Concealing her deadly past, Morgan offers to become his mistress.

Ward has secrets of his own. Far from being a mere sea captain, he’s a member of Boston Society and has pledged his life to restoring honor to his family name, ruined by his lecherous father. He must live a proper Boston life and marry a proper Boston woman. If it’s discovered that he’s keeping a mistress, his family, his name and everything he’s ever fought for will be destroyed. Lost in the throes of desire, though, Ward persuades himself he can keep the affair hidden. He doesn’t bargain on falling in love with his mistress. And Morgan doesn’t bargain on Philadelphia’s determination to bring the notorious Wicked Widow to justice. . .

Chasing her was his first mistake. . . .

Lilah Martin is a hunted woman who has roamed the West for three years, staying one step ahead of men who are trying to kill her. Fear is her only friend; staying alive is her only goal. Then she lands a job at the Bar M, a prosperous and well-protected ranch in Colorado, where she finds friendship, sanctuary and a life that is almost normal. Or so it seems until she falls prey to the wildly seductive and dangerously inquisitive Rick Winchester. . .

A former outlaw, Rick has spent five years searching for distraction from guilt over his wife’s death. He finally finds it in the simmering sexual attraction between Lilah and him, and the dark intrigue surrounding her. But the more he delves into her secrets, the more of a mystery she becomes, until, frightened, she flees the Bar M. Determined not to lose this woman, Rick races after her, catapulting them into a clash of wills, which can only end in the discovery of a deadly secret locked away in Lilah’s mind. A secret that could make them both rich. Or get them both killed. . .

Difficult to catch. . . impossible to tame

Women’s rights reformer, Star Montgomery, has resolved never to marry. She’s also resolved to enjoy the more intimate aspects of marriage. Sadly, though, her aristocratic friends cling to dratted, dratted Victorian purity like drowning men to a life preserver, up to and including her irritating secret admirer. Then she meets western rancher, Nick McGraw, and she sets her sights on seducing him, for he must be more amenable to her desires than her stuffy eastern friends, mustn’t he?

He is not.

Nick plays by the rules. That’s how he tamed the Colorado wilderness, and no matter how attracted he is to Star, he will NOT betray his honor—or hers—by caving to her advances. But  before he knows it, he’s summering with her family among Newport, Rhode Island’s glittering elite. Even while he goes to battle with his growing obsession with a woman he cannot have,  Star’s looming “secret admirer” shifts from being merely irritating to threatening—both Star’s career and her life. . .

What if your imaginary friend is real?

As a child Beth Hartwell insisted that her imaginary friend was real, and her town branded her “a little bit crazy.” Grown now, she’s long since forgotten her friend, but the phrase sticks like prickles to wool. She yearns for her town’s approval, and that means marrying a nice normal man and becoming a nice normal wife. She’s one short “yes” away from accepting the only man who’ll have her when handsome stranger Luke Devlin arrives in town. Upon touching him, visions of fire beset her, followed by longing and a deep, unexplainable familiarity.

Trapped between love and a prophecy

After years of trying to prove his aunt’s prophecy wrong, Luke has finally surrendered to it; he is the devil’s spawn. It is time to claim his “dark angel”, Beth Hartwell, the little girl who he once talked to with his mind. If he uses everything in his arsenal—seduction, lies, trickery—he is certain to trap her. Except that the young midwife hardly appears “dark”, and she has some weapons of her own. As they engage in a battle for Luke’s heart and Beth’s soul, a murderer strikes, and the town accuses Luke. . .
