It was to save her father from ruin that Stephanie had married Santino Ventura and gone to live with him in his castle in Sicily.

Santino had made it clear that he had not married her because she wanted a real wife, but a companion for his small daughter –– but why, oh, why had he done it at all?.

She couldn't bear the unexpected truth...

Sara gladly accepted the offer of acting as companion to her youthful Aunt Harriet. Her father had recently died, and she welcomed the solace the English countryside offered.

But life in Harriet's household proved far from peaceful. Most disturbing to Sara was Jude, a blunt and darkly seductive man. Why had Harriet hired him? And what did he do?

Then understanding dawned on her: Jude was her aunt's lover. Yet she couldn't deny the deep attraction she herself felt for him – an attraction he seemed to reciprocate!

Will she surrender to the stranger at Orchid Cay? 

For Lily Fielding, the small, safe Caribbean island is all she's ever known. But the appearance of an intriguing newcomer is about to change everything for this unworldly vicar's daughter, for the sensual awakening he promises is both intoxicating and illicit… 

Raphael Oliveira should resist the temptation that beautiful Lily presents; after all, he knows that wherever he goes, danger follows… Although, once she is under his spell, Rafe's intense passion and dark past threaten to destroy them both!

Betrayed

Olivia didn't expect returning home to be easy. And it wasn't. Especially when it was Matthew Ryan who met her at the airport when she returned to England from her grandmother's funeral. Matt and Olivia were once passionate lovers and he even proposed. Instead, she chose to leave Matt and it nearly broken her heart. But now Olivia discovered their past was far from over because their potent attraction flares brighter than ever!

Brittle Bondage

Rachel's marriage had ended tears. Ben was unfaithful to her, she was sure but he had denied it. Now their only contact was their small daughter, Daisy. Now Daisy wanted a divorce but her ex–husband's reaction was very surprising! Ben was reluctant to accept that their relationship was over…did Rachel dare to believe that the brittle bonds still tying her to Ben could ever be the basis for a lifetime of loving?

Innocent Sins

Memories of a long–ago summer night still taunt Laura Neill. With all the provocative innocence of youth, she stole into her stepbrother Oliver's bedroom, and discovered love and fleeting happiness in his arms. Driven away by his apparent betrayal, it's been eight long years since Laura last visited home. Can she now face Oliver without confessing the aching love she still feels for him – or the secrets she's held all this time?

Demetri Kastro has dark suspicions about Joanna, the young and very attractive woman who has escorted his father home to Greece. Though the elderly millionaire is ill, Demetri is certain Joanna isn’t what the doctor ordered!

However, Demetri’s attempts to dig beneath Joanna’s coolly beautiful exterior reveal few clues as to the nature of her relationship with his father. She’s giving nothing away...except an unwitting sexual attractiveness that Demetri finds hard to resist...

It was five years since Rachel had left her husband Andre Sanchez, and she was only coming to him now because he was the only one who could help her beloved father. But the marriage had broken up in the first place because of the suffocating influence of the Sanchez family. Now there was a danger that Rachel would be swallowed up in it yet again.

Andre's eyes darkened, "You're still a member of this family. You're a Sanchez."

Rachel shook her head. "I'm not. I'm Rachel Jardin!"

"You're Rachel Sanchez!" announced Andre harshly.

"I have plans for you, and you will do as your father wanted and follow them!"

"And if I disagree?"

"You'll be destitute. You've no money, on your own admission, you've no money, and I won't pay another cent into your London bank!"

Rachel felt defeated. "You're a brute!" she said unevenly. "I hate you, Andre Sanchez!"

"You'll say that once too often, Rachel." Without another word he brushed past her and went out the door, slamming it behind him.

He'd always been a law unto himself

Rafe Lindsay, Earl of Invercaldy, was lord of all he surveyed. But the days when a nobleman held the right to seduce any village maiden he fancied were long gone. Not that the message had reached Rafe!

But then Isobel Jacobson was hardly a maiden. She was a widow, struggling to raise an unruly teenage daughter on her own. She was also a woman who longed to feel the passion that intimacy held....

Debra Warren had believed during all her life that she was orphaned, until she went to San Francisco to work. She found she was the daughter of the famous actress Elizabeth Steel. There she knew Dominic McGill.

Never say never.

It was her grandmother's death that drew Helen Michaels back to Castle Howarth and the man who had shattered her world ten years ago–the man she still despised.

Rafe Fleming followed in his father's footsteps and was now the overseer of the magnificent mansion. He was the only reason Helen's visits had been so infrequent. How she hated him–and hated herself for the way her heart raced when 1w turned his heated gaze on her or treated her with smug self–assurance.

Why had her grandmother willed Castle Howarth to hint–with a clause that bordered on the absurd? The castle would belong to Helen, also–providing she and Rafe marry.

Of course, that was impossible.
