Book Description
It’s Gabrielle Kimble’s first season in London, and like most young women, she’s determined to make a good match. She’s set her sights on marriage to a good man, someone handsome and witty and oh so charming. When the opportunity comes to speak privately to her choice at a ball, she takes a bold risk with her reputation—only to find herself in a deserted room and overwhelmed by the notorious Duke of Mamble! Gabby cannot deny the man has a presence, but why can she not stay away from an allegedly cruel duke? Sebastien Spence, Duke of Mamble, knows precisely what society whispers about him behind his back and would normally ignore the disapproving stares aimed his way. However, when one bold debutant mistakes him for the most unexciting man in London, and declares her love for him too, their provocative encounter tempts him to set the record straight. Dancing with the wallflower once should have been enough to save Gabby from disappointment, but never in his wildest dreams did he imagine she could turn his head so completely. Does he dare trust her with his secrets, and his heart, when she’s clearly still in pursuit of another man? Another steamy regency romance standalone romance in the Distinguished Rogues and in the Revenge of the Wallflowers series.

No Ordinary Lady

Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
She’s nothing but a common thief…and her next target is the Earl of Scarsdale’s heart. Orphaned as a child and left in her uncle’s care, Marian Trill has known only a life of crime. Criss-crossing the countryside, she aids her uncle and his small troupe of thieves in conning well-to-do travelers…until one handsome mark catches her eye. Marian has no business betraying her only family for this gentleman’s safety…just as she has no business following Danny all the way to his country estate to return a valuable ring he left behind. Daniel, Earl of Scarsdale, is returning home after years of avoiding the inevitable—marrying his neighbor’s daughter. He’d hoped to wed for love, but having failed at that venture, it’s time he took his duties seriously, even if it means settling for a woman more to his mother’s liking than his own. He didn’t count on the beguiling thief he met on the road following him home—nor on his scheming granny inviting her to stay as her companion. No Ordinary Lady is a full-length regency historical romance novel. It is another book in the steamy Distinguished Rogues series but can be read as a stand-alone.
