When the new earl inherits, poor relation Miss Rebecca Bond must wed immediately or be out on her ear. The only man she''s ever loved is summoned to hear the will--but he already rejected her so soundly that they haven''t spoken in years. Yet who better than a rakish Viscount to teach her how to snare a gentleman who appreciates her charms? Daniel Goodenham, Lord North-Barrows, regrets nothing more than the lost friendship with the one woman who treated him like a man, not a title. Fate has given him the perfect pretext to win her forgiveness--even if it means having to matchmake her to someone else. But now that she''s back in his life, he''ll do anything to convince her to choose him instead...

HIS TOUCH HOLDS HER CAPTIVE… From the ravens circling its spires to the gargoyles adorning its roof, Blackberry Manor looms ominously over its rambling grounds. And behind its doors, amid the flickering shadows and secret passageways, danger lies in wait… TO HIS EVERY DARK DESIRE… Evangeline Pemberton has been invited to a party at the sprawling estate of reclusive Gavin Lioncroft, who is rumored to have murdered his parents. Initially, Gavin’s towering presence and brusque manner instill fear in Evangeline…until his rakish features and seductive attentions profoundly arouse her. But when a guest is murdered, Evangeline is torn. Could the man to whom she is so powerfully drawn, also u00adbe a ruthless killer? “A unique gothic romance complete with murder, madness, and mayhem!" --Virginia Henley, New York Times bestselling author

TRAPPED IN HIS ARMS... One look at the towering ocean-side manor that is to be her new home, and exiled socialite Susan Stanton knows: This is a place haunted by secrets, and riddled with menace. For Susan, there is no escaping it. At best she can stay clear of the most dangerous element of all—dark-haired smuggler Evan Bothwick, a man whose shaded countenance cannot hide his wicked intent. But Susan has a secret of her own—a special gift that renders her privy to the darkest mysteries lurking within the walls of the manor and in the labyrinthine cellars beneath. And the only man who can help her make sense of it all is Evan, the very scoundrel and rogue she would do anything to be able to resist... Praise for Erica Ridley’s Too Wicked to Kiss “A unique gothic romance complete with murder, madness, and mayhem!” —Virginia Henley, New York Times bestselling author “Darkly sensual…a skillful blend of gothic mystery and steamy romance.” —Karen Rose, New York Times bestselling author

Hired to disprove such an absurd claim, the skeptical Miss Elspeth Ramsay does not expect to tremble in his presence—until the graze of his teeth on her neck ignites an appetite of her own, and she finds herself biting him back! Surely this sudden bloodlust can only mean danger for her family and her heart—or a love for eternity...
