THE NOTORIOUS SCOUNDREL (book two)

Like an irresistible siren, the veiled dancer with the
bewitching green eyes lures dukes and earls into London’s underworld to see her
dance—and succumb to her spell. Some says she’s a princess, but only one man
knows her darkest secret.

She is Amy Peel, an orphan from the city's rookeries, and she
believes the bold rogue who unmasks her to be nothing but a scoundrel—albeit a
dangerously handsome one. He may have rescued her from an attempted kidnapping,
but she will not give in to his sensual seduction or to the wicked desire she
begins to feel . . .

He is Edmund Hawkins, swashbuckling pirate turned reluctant
gentleman, and he will not let the lovely Amy slip through his grasp,
especially when he learns she's in greater peril than she could possibly know.
He will do everything in his power to protect her—for this notorious scoundrel
has truly, unbelievably, lost his heart . . .

HOW TO SEDUCE A PIRATE (book three)

The
downtrodden daughter of a viscount, the Honorable Miss Holly Turner is
desperate for money and assumes the secret identity of Lord H—the erotic
artist—but her carefully crafted world turns on its ear when she stumbles into
the room of one very handsome—and very naked—gentleman, mistaking him for her
model.

Quincy
Hawkins is chasing the dragon, hoping to outrun the demons from his past, but
when an audacious—albeit beautiful—wench paints him in the buff, mayhem erupts.
What is a gentleman pirate to do when scandal strikes? Marry the wench, of
course. There’s just one hitch. He won’t bed her. Ever. His charming wife has
already stolen from him his likeness, his freedom, and Quincy won’t give her
anything more . . . not even his body.

Holly
can’t believe her ears. A marriage in name alone? She will never have a wedding
night? She will never know the pleasure of her husband’s sensuous touch? Well,
she won’t stand for it. She intends to have a real marriage—with all the
sensual benefits—even if it means seducing her stubborn pirate.

Too Great a Temptation

Too
Dangerous to Desire
where The Hawkins Brothers first appeared as supporting
characters—and stole readers’ hearts!

TOO GREAT A TEMPTATION

A lord so sinful he is dubbed the "Duke of Rogues,"
Damian Westmore lives for pleasure—until the day his brother dies at the hands
of pirates. Abandoning the libertine life to pursue revenge, Damian finds the
criminals
he seeks and joins their crew in disguise, waiting for the
chance to strike the brigands down. But he never imagined there would be a
woman on board—or that the stunning siren would inflame the very passions
Damian swore to resist until his brother's death was avenged.

Beautiful, fiery Mirabelle Hawkins longs for the freedom of
the high seas—so she stows away on her brother's pirate ship at the first
opportunity. But she finds something more exciting than chase and plunder: a
bold, handsome, secretive sailor whose touch makes her tremble with desire . .
. but whose love is a cutlass that could destroy all she holds dear.

“Fans of historical romance will
thoroughly enjoy this fresh take on the genre.”

very lives in peril.
