THE HERO (Ruthless Regency Dukes 5) is the fifth book in USA Today and Amazon International #1 Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer’s, Regency Romance series. Six Dukes, bound together by their friendship and loyalty. When one of them is murdered, the five friends remaining are each given the task of investigating one of the five officers suspected of being responsible for the killing. Gideon Harrington, the Duke of Oxford, is the last of the five Ruthless Dukes tasked with identifying the person responsible for killing their friend, the Duke of Plymouth. Something, in view of the eccentricity of the gentleman Gideon is to investigate, he admits to having delayed for as long as possible, in the hope one of the other dukes will succeed in identifying the culprit. Unfortunately, that does not prove to be the case. Learning that his quarry, Henry Church, the Earl of Dunhill, is to attend a house party at the end of the month, Gideon secures an invitation for himself to attend that same party. He is not in the least prepared for the hoyden that is Henrietta Church, Dunhill’s daughter. A young lady who insists upon being called Harry and proves to be as eccentric as her father. Harry has never met anyone quite as disdainful and toplofty as Gideon Harrington, the Duke of Oxford. A gentleman who makes no effort to hide his disapproval of her. A gentleman she, in turn, takes great delight in tormenting because of his haughtiness. But Harry soon learns, to her complete and blushing surprise, that Oxford is hiding a very passionate and possessive nature beneath that haughty exterior. A discovery she finds irresistible. Except she has no idea of the real reason Oxford is attending the house party.

Book Description
Author’s Note: The stories in the Regency Unlaced, Alpha, and Knight Security series have stronger sexual content and language than my other books. Lady Rachel Shaw had believed her unhappiness to be at an end once her husband died, but now she finds herself caught in the clutches of a cruel and relentless blackmailer. Totally at a loss as to who she can turn to for help, her friend the Countess of Winterbourne, advises Rachel to go to Lucien Brooke, Viscount Brooketon, a gentleman who was recently of assistance to Fliss and her husband. Rachel doesn’t know Lucien Brooke personally, but she has seen him many times at one Society event or another, and knows him to be an aristocratic and handsome gentleman who has avoided every attempt by the beauties of the ton to be lured into matrimony. Gossip and reputation say the viscount as being a cold and arrogant gentleman who does not suffer fools gladly. And Rachel has been very foolish indeed. Left with no other choice, Rachel finally decides to risk the viscount’s scorn and ask for his help. Lucien Brooke, Viscount Brooketon cannot deny Lady Rachel Shaw’s beauty or desirability, but unfortunately she is also as flighty and flirtatious as his mother, a woman who has been embroiled in one scandal after another for most of his life. That being the case, Rachel Shaw is the type of woman whom Lucien has always avoided having any personal involvement. Looks can be deceiving, however, and within minutes of Rachel calling at his home and explaining her current predicament, Lucien realizes he was wrong to have judged the lady without really knowing her, or her circumstances. He now not only wants to help Rachel in her current predicament but he also wants her. In his arms. In his bed. Persuading Rachel into accept any of those things from him is going to be a battle Lucien has every intention of winning.

After which, Olivia is to go and live quietly at the family’s country estate in the wilds of Yorkshire, well away from London Society, and any possibility of her unmarried status ruining her two younger sisters’ future chances of a betrothal and marriage. What her mother couldn’t have known when she sent Olivia away is that three of His Majesty’s ships and their crews are currently visiting the island, at the behest of the Prince Regent, as his representatives during the island’s summer celebrations. Those ships are under the command of the tall and imposing Admiral Lord Magnus Forsythe, the Earl of Rockborne. A gentleman known to be a hero during the long years of sea battles against the French. One look at this haughtily magnificent and the unmarried Rockborne and Olivia knows exactly why none of London’s pretentious young men have ever appealed to her. They could never compete with such mature and masculine perfection. Unfortunately, Rockborne takes that same look at Olivia and thereafter attempts to avoid her company. But Olivia, having seen the only man she could ever consider taking as her husband, will not be deterred so easily. Not even when a scandal from Magnus’s past, involving her own family, is revealed.

Book Description
An unhappy marriage, to an adulterous wife, has left widower Mr. Ranulf Montgomery immune to the wiles of women. He certainly has no time, or sympathy, when the young and beautiful Miss Darcy Ambridge, is found hiding in his carriage, as he makes the long journey from London back to his home in Scotland. Darcy Ambridge acts out of desperation when she decides to throw herself on the mercy of Ranulf Montgomery. Convincing that hard and cynical gentleman of her dire circumstances seems impossible, however. Can Darcy break through the hard shell that now surrounds Ranulf’s emotions, and find the warm gentleman she once found so intriguing? Or will Ranulf simply abandon her to the attentions of the lecherous gentleman determined to bed her? As desire rages out of control between the two of them, Ranulf dearly wishes to rid himself of Darcy’s company. Something he knows he cannot do, in all conscience, until he finds the culprit of the series of ‘accidents’ now threatening to injure or kill both of them. Who could possibly want to see one or both of them dead? The unscrupulous gentleman Darcy is running away from? Or perhaps someone from Ranulf’s past, set on revenge?

Gideon felt a heavy weight in his chest as he watched a coach approaching down the long driveway to his Cornish estate, the home where he had retreated ten years ago after being ostracised by Society following the sudden death of his wife. Then two weeks ago he had received a letter from a solicitor telling him that he was now the guardian of nineteen-year-old Lady Lydia Montague, the daughter of his one-time friend, Lord Michael Montague, the Earl of Chessington. Quite what Gideon is to do with that young woman, once she is residing in his household with him, he has no idea. Until he sees her for the first time and knows that the only thing he desires of Lydia is to have her beneath him, in his bed, as he claims her for his own. Lady Lydia Montague. She had never even heard of the Gideon Rhodes before her father’s solicitor informed her the duke was to be her guardian now that her father had succumbed to the wounds he had received during the Battle of Waterloo. Unfortunately, once it became public knowledge Lydia was to be Esher’s ward until her twenty-first birthday, she was bombarded with information about the man. Rumour said he had been a cruel husband. That he had murdered his wife. That he was now a scarred recluse living in the wilds of Cornwall. All Lydia knew of him for certain was that she was to be his ward and live with him for the next two years. Then she sees him for the first time. Gideon is tall, dark, and indeed scarred. He also causes her pulse to race, her body to heat, and she can think of nothing but the two of them naked together, their limbs and bodies entwined. The moment Gideon looks at her his eyes seem to darken with that same desire. But what of his dead wife? Is it possible Gideon did kill her? And if he did, will Lydia receive the same fate if she allows the attraction between them to deepen?

Book Description
The young widow Lady Dorothea Fitzroy is bored with her life. Most especially so with her role as mistress of her brother’s household, and the endless round of society engagements this forces her to endure. What Thea so badly needs is a secret and passionate lover, to become mistress of another kind entirely, and so add excitement and spice into her humdrum life. But where is she to find this handsome and inexhaustible gentleman? Julian Remington, the arrogant and haughty 17th Duke of Blackmoor has no interest in finding a mistress for his bedroom or his home. He’s jaded, cynical, and distrustful when it comes to women. One woman, a woman from his past, has caused too much grief in his life for him to ever trust another. Thea and Julian are about to be caught up in a passion for each other that blazes so fiercely, and so out of control, it is beyond the power of either of them to resist. The Duke’s Mistress is the story of an arrogant duke and an adventurous young widow, caught up in their insatiable desire for each other, the vengeful woman who would like nothing better than to see Blackmoor suffer as she has suffered, and believes Thea Fitzroy to be the means by which she will achieve it.

Book Description
THE GHOST (Ruthless Regency Dukes 6) is the sixth and final book in USA Today and Amazon International #1 Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer’s, latest Regency series. Six Dukes, bound together by their friendship and loyalty. When one of them is murdered, the five friends remaining are each given the task of investigating one of the five officers suspected of being responsible for the killing. The man had been prisoner for so long he no longer had any idea whether it was night or day. The room where he was being kept was below ground and had no windows. It was bare of all comforts except for a pile of dirty and lice infected straw in one corner and a single blanket to cover himself with during the worst of the cold. He had tried, at first, to keep track of time, but as the days, weeks, months passed, they had all merged together. The monotony was broken only by the haphazard delivery of a plate of the most basic of foods and a jug of water by a surly and silent man whose clothes appeared to be as ragged as his own. The smelly bucket in the corner of the room was removed only once a week. The last thing he remembered, before waking in this hellhole, he had been deeply entrenched in the battle at Waterloo. He recalled being run through with a sword, and then struck on the head. Since then, there had only been this room, the pain as his wound oozed an unpleasant pus before finally healing, near starvation, and the bone-deep cold. At first, he had been sure his friends would find him, and he would be rescued from this living hell. But he no longer held out that hope, knowing they must all believe him to be dead. He had been abandoned, and was now forgotten. Even, it seemed, by the woman he had loved so deeply he would gladly have given his life for her. Had she mourned him? Cried for his loss? Or had she moved on when all hope had been lost? One thing he knew, when he was free, and he was determined he would escape, all who had wronged him would suffer the full measure of his fury.

With a young son in the nursery, the earl’s heir now that her husband is dead, Elizabeth knows she will have no choice but to do as the earl instructs. But before arrangements can be made for her to return to London, she is surprisingly given a reprieve by her father-in-law when the arrogant Duke of Bristol arrives at his neighbouring estate and shows an interest in spending time with her. Elizabeth knows the wealthy and handsome duke cannot seriously be interested in her, but she is grateful for anything which will allow her to remain apart from the Society which never really accepted her as Martin’s wife and the future Countess of Whitlow. Sterling Bishop, the Duke of Bristol, has little time for Society and welcomes seeking out his friend Lincoln’s murderer as sufficient reason to leave London before this year’s Season is fully over. His quarry should have been Lord Martin Marshall, but as that gentleman is now dead, his widow will have to be the one to provide the information he needs.
