Unlacing Lady Thea A journey into pleasure... The night before dissolute Lord Denham is about to embark on his Grand Tour, he meets an unexpected complication. In boy’s clothes that barely conceal her delectable curves, his childhood friend Lady Althea Curtiss — desperate to escape an arranged marriage — arrives, demanding free passage! Rhys accepts his unlikely traveling companion with great reluctance — the scandal is sure to blow up in his face — until he finds there is far more intimate territory Lady Thea is curious to explore. Soon he realises that he is in danger of awakening not only Thea’s sensuality, but also his own long-buried heart... Forbidden Jewel Of India To obey his duty is to deny his heart... Anusha Laurens is in danger. The daughter of an Indian princess and an English peer, she’s the perfect pawn in the opulent courts of Rajasthan. Even so, she will not return to the father who rejected her. Arrogant angrezi Major Nicholas Herriard is charged with bringing the alluring Princess safely to her new life in Calcutta. Nick’s mission is to protect, to serve — but under the searing Indian sun an initial attraction unfurls into a forbidden temptation. This beautiful, impossible Princess tests the very limits of his honour — especially when Nick is left with only one option to keep Anusha safe: marriage. But the fast-flowing waters of the Ganges determine a different fate, and duty may separate them for ever...
