Until his attention is utterly captured by a woman who refuses to tell him her name, but can’t help surrendering to his touch . . . BUT SHE’S NO ANGEL EITHER . . . Amanda Waverly is living two lives-one respectable existence as secretary to an upstanding lady, and one far more dangerous battle of wits-and willpower-with the devilish Duke.

And if he figures out who she really is, their sizzling passion will suddenly boil over into a much higher stakes affair . . .

The Duke of Castleford has been so bad for so long that scandal can’t be bothered to rise up around him anymore. To alleviate the boredom of his privileged life, he occupies himself with drinking and whoring, not to mention the occasional duel. When something piques his interest, however, he has been known to emerge from his ennui and employ his considerable mental faculties to finding answers to the questions that fascinate him.When Daphne Joyes rejects this notorious hedonist’s seduction, she assumes that he will forget about her and continue on his path to hell. Instead her beauty, grace and formidable composure captivate him, and she becomes one of those fascinations to him. That he intends to have her, and soon, is actually the least of the dangers that his pursuit of her presents. More troublesome is his interest in her past and her history, and the way he keeps poking his nose into the secrets behind the distant relative’s bequest that gave him ownership of the property where she lives.

bequest brings fortune–and passion–to three young women …

is Chase Radnor, a gentleman and grandson of a lord, and a man who makes it his business to investigate suspicious
matters. Now he’s insisting that Minerva has inherited a fortune from his uncle, a wealthy duke. Only one thing could
surprise her more: her sudden attraction to this exasperating man …

Chase can’t decide whether Minerva is a wronged woman or a femme fatale. Either way, he’s intrigued. Maddeningly,
with her unexpected inheritance, she has set up a discreet detective business to rival Chase’s own. She may be the
perfect person to help him uncover the truth about his uncle’s demise. But as proximity gives way to mutual seduction,
Chase realizes he craves a much deeper alliance …
