There she'll discover the dark thrill of falling from grace and into the arms of a devilishly handsome earl. Lily Chadwick has spent her life playing the respectable debutante. But when an unscrupulous moneylender snatches her off the street and puts her up for auction at a pleasure house, she finds herself in the possession of a man who fills her with breathless terror and impossible yearning. Though the Earl of Harte claimed Lily with the highest bid, he hides a painful secret—one that has kept him from knowing the pleasure of a lover's touch. Even the barest brush of skin brings him physical pain, and he's spent his life keeping the world at arm's length. But there's something about Lily that maddens him, bewitches him, compels him...and drives him toward the one woman brave and kind enough to heal his troubled heart. "Are you afraid?" "Yes," she replied in a soft voice. "But I love the way you frighten me."

The Cowboy's Honor

He'll never belong in her world. Beynon Thomas might have agreed to spend time in England with his recently discovered half siblings, but home will always be his farm in Wales. Being the illegitimate son of an earl doesn't mean he belongs in high society, and it's never been more evident than when he's paired with the gentle Lady Anne at a country house party. She represents everything he disdains about London's pampered daughters. Yet, he can't resist being drawn by the storm he glimpses beneath her temperate disposition. She's more than what they see. Lady Anne Humphries is known throughout the ton for her modest manner and exemplary decorum, yet she's gone three seasons without a single offer of marriage. She's finally contented herself to life as a spinster when she is partnered with the glowering Mr. Thomas for her friend's summer games. Something about the man's dismissive attitude provokes her into behaving in ways she wouldn't have thought herself capable. The broody Welshman ignites a fire within her. Her only hope now is that she won't get burned. When losing isn't an option. Though their partnership starts out contentious, passion quickly takes over between a woman tired of being overlooked and a man filled with contempt for a society that mocks him. To the casual observer, the pair couldn't be more opposite in appearance or manner. One so elegant and refined. The other, brawny and unsophisticated. But when desire overrides pride and ignores the rules of propriety, two people from disparate worlds have a chance to win the greatest prize of all.

She certainly isn't going to allow some emotionless English lord, even if he is the lass's unfortunately handsome half-brother, to take her away from the only family she's ever known. He'll do whatever it takes to right his father's past wrongs. Colin Fitzhugh spent his life doing everything expected of him as the Earl of Wright's heir until his father's death revealed a secret he couldn't ignore. Now, he'll defy society to provide his half-sister with the life their vengeful sire denied her. But first, he must convince the girl's headstrong guardian he's not the callous monster his father had been. When love is the greatest risk and the greatest temptation. As Ainsworth begins to glimpse the sensitive and passionate nature concealed beneath the earl's stoic reserve, it becomes harder and harder to ignore her growing attraction. But if Colin proves to be the kind and generous man she hopes he is, her fear of losing the daughter of her heart to his elegant world could become a devastating reality.
