The one woman he will never forget… Malcolm Bevingstoke, Duke of Haven, has lived the last three years in self-imposed solitude, paying the price for a mistake he can never reverse and a love he lost forever. The dukedom does not wait, however, and Haven requires an heir, which means he must find himself a wife by summer’s end. There is only one problem—he already has one. The one man she will never forgive… After years in exile, Seraphina, Duchess of Haven, returns to London with a single goal—to reclaim the life she left and find happiness, unencumbered by the man who broke her heart. Haven offers her a deal; Sera can have her freedom, just as soon as she finds her replacement…which requires her to spend the summer in close quarters with the husband she does not want, but somehow cannot resist. A love that neither can deny… The duke has a single summer to woo his wife and convince her that, despite their broken past, he can give her forever, making every day the Day of the Duchess.

Fighting to reclaim the French crown for the Bourbons, the duchesse de Berry faces betrayal at the hands of one of her closest advisors in this dramatic history of power and revolution. The year was 1832, a cholera pandemic raged, and the French royal family was in exile, driven out by yet another revolution. From a drafty Scottish castle, the duchesse de Berry -- the mother of the eleven-year-old heir to the throne -- hatched a plot to restore the Bourbon dynasty. For months, she commanded a guerilla army and evaded capture by disguising herself as a man. But soon she was betrayed by her trusted advisor, Simon Deutz, the son of France's Chief Rabbi. The betrayal became a cause célèbre for Bourbon loyalists and ignited a firestorm of hate against France's Jews. By blaming an entire people for the actions of a single man, the duchess's supporters set the terms for the century of antisemitism that followed. Brimming with intrigue and lush detail, The Betrayal of the Duchess is the riveting story of a high-spirited woman, the charming but volatile young man who double-crossed her, and the birth of one of the modern world's most deadly forms of hatred. !--EndFragment--

Falling in love is a wonderfully terrifying sensation… I couldn't believe it! My very first book was being turned into a movie, and my boyfriend was cast in a leading role. We packed up for a month of filming in Italy where I was looking forward to long walks in the countryside and stolen kisses under the moonlight. The problem was that I didn't want anyone to think that Jace had gotten the part because of me. He was talented in his own right, and if everyone knew we were an item, they would think he was sleeping his way to the top. Did I mention that he used to be an escort? We decided that the best course of action was to keep our relationship on the down-low. How hard could it be to keep our hands off each other for a month? We had plenty of work to distract ourselves. From overbearing costars to constant rewrites, we barely had time to sneak off and enjoy the fruits of our labor. As the days passed, we became less and less concerned about what other people might think. Until finally someone caught us and left us in a bind. Would Jace have to give up his spot and the chance at a Hollywood career to save my reputation? Would I let him do that, or would I fall on the sword of my own ruined ambition and come clean?

Sometimes sacrifices are worth the cost. Even, or perhaps most especially, those made out of love. Eleanor Sawyer is a fixer. People pay her to fix their companies for them, and she's never met a problem she couldn't figure out. Until Daniel Connor hired her. And it's not his company she's having problems with. No, she has a plan for how to increase Connor Hotels' sales in the American market, and it's good enough that she's impressing even herself. When it comes to figure out Daniel himself, though, and those flashing eyes, smiling lips, and flirty looks… along with the occasional kiss… she's finding herself at a complete loss. She doesn't know if she wants to play along or tell him to remember who she is: just another employee. Because now she's got an even bigger problem. She's starting to fall in love with him.
