The Duke of Jervaulx was brilliant and dangerous. Considered dissolute, reckless, and extravagant, he was transparently referred to as the ′D of J′ in scandal sheets, where he and his various exploits featured with frequency. But sometimes the most womanising rake can be irresistible, and even his most casual attentions fascinated the sheltered Maddy Timms, quiet daughter of a simple mathematician.

The New York Times–bestselling author of The Hidden Heart delivers “pure magic from beginning to end” in this unforgettable Victorian romance (Nora Roberts).

Scarred by a childhood of shocking degradation, he has sworn to love chastely . . . but burns with the fires of unfulfilled passion. The Star is lovely, innocent and nearly destitute, and drawn to him by a fevered yearning she could never deny—following her enigmatic “shadow warrior” into a dangerous world of desire and righteous retribution.

A scoundrel is transformed by the love of an innocent princess in this historical romance by the New York Times–bestselling author of Flowers from the Storm. Summoned to rule the tiny nation of Oriens, Princess Olympia St. Leger appoints the most celebrated man in England to escort her: recently retired war hero Capt. Sheridan Drake. Easily frightened, she is vastly relieved to have Captain Drake’s help—until she discovers he’s a scoundrel without a drop of honor in his body. In fact, nothing would make her happier than to forget him. Except she cannot seem to get his deep, stirring gaze out of her head . . . Sheridan has no patience for hero worshipers; war is a game of survival, not gallant deeds. But Olympia, who comes to him with plump cheeks and eyes full of expectation, has money, something of which he is in great need. And though Olympia is impossibly naive, for reasons he can’t fathom, she touches him in some obscure, half-forgotten place, until the thought of losing her becomes even more impossible. Set in Georgian England, Seize the Fire is another exciting tale from the author of For My Lady’s Heart, whose work has been praised by Julia Quinn as “unfailingly brilliant and beautiful.”

A lady desiring vengeance seeks a highwayman’s help in this tale by an author whose novels are “the gold standard in historical romance” (Lisa Kleypas). Lady Leigh Strachan’s father governed the town of Felchester—until a religious zealot murdered her family and turned the village into hell on Earth. Now, there is room in her heart for only one thing: revenge. Leigh plans to kill her father’s murderer once she learns to aim a pistol, slash a sword, and ride a horse. She seeks out the Prince of Midnight, a legendary highwayman exiled to France, as her choice of tutors. But the man she finds in a crumbling French castle is no hero. Half deaf and suffering from vertigo, S. T. Maitland can scarcely walk, much less wield a sword atop a dancing stallion. Yet for reasons she can’t explain, she remains with him, steeling her heart against the sight of his gold-streaked hair, green eyes, and brows adorned with a devilish curl at the arch . . . Women mean nothing but trouble to the highwayman, so he wishes Leigh were less alluring. Alas, she is beautiful, with a piercing gaze and a determined spirit. Despite his broken balance, the loss of his horse, and the price on his head, he vows to return to England with her. He cannot resist the challenge—or the chance to sacrifice everything for love . . . The New York Times–bestselling author of Flowers from the Storm and Shadowheart, Laura Kinsale writes an “unfailingly brilliant and beautiful” romance (Julia Quinn).

Trained as an assassin, Allegreto is the bastard son of an ambitious lord who raised him to murder for control of Monteverde.

Robert Cambourne, stationed in Calcutta for the British East India Company. Robert calls her his princess, and she dubs him her knight errant.

Four years later, Robert summons Folie and her stepdaughter to his estate in England. The girl is his ward, so they must go. The man who greets them, however, is nothing like the charming lieutenant of his letters. This Robert is demented. Screaming at ghosts in demonic rage, he is paranoid and frightening.

Someone is poisoning him, spinning his brain into madness, of that Robert is sure, but who—and why? Haunted by his dead wife, the one thing his tortured mind understands is that he must keep Folie safe. Folie, with her beautiful expressive eyes, the only warmth in his nightmare world . . .

A duke’s well-ordered world is turned upside down when a female inventor sends his heart soaring in this Regency romance by a New York Times–bestselling author. Merlin Lambourne has invented the “speaking box”—a sort of telephone—which is so valuable that Napoleon has killed for it. Sent by the crown to bring both inventor and invention to safety, Ransom Falconer, Duke of Damerell, is shocked to learn Mr. Lambourne is a Miss. Perhaps more shocking, however, are his feelings for the eccentric genius. She is everything he doesn’t like: incapable of following orders, unaware of conventional etiquette, preoccupied, disorganized, and unkempt. Yet she beguiles him. One of the most ingenious inventors in England, she is also one of the country’s greatest hopes in the defense against the power mad Napoleon Bonaparte. Now, if he could just get her mind out of the clouds and convince her to marry him . . . Merlin is not absentminded, it’s just that she only seems to be able to pay attention to one thing at a time. And maybe she does take everything people say literally, but people ought to say what they mean. Now this Ransom Falconer wants her to forget her current interest in flying machines and focus on the speaking box she’s lost interest in finishing. It’s quite disconcerting. In fact, everything about him is disconcerting; in her isolated life Merlin has never met anyone who affects her quite like Ransom does. With her trademark blend of heartwarming characters and a hilarious conflict, Midsummer Moon is yet another winner from the author of Flowers from the Storm, praised by Lisa Kleypas as “the gold standard in historical romance.”

Cuando Callie creía haberse resignado al papel de «florero» en la sociedad, l''amour , con acento francés, llama de nuevo a su puerta. Lady Callista sabe que hay cosas que una dama no debería permitirse. Ser pelirroja y algo tímida. Seguir soltera a los veintisiete años. Preferir una vida apacible en el campo a la temporada en Londres. Entregarse a sus alocadas fantasías de una vida aventurera y romántica. Ser una experta en la cría de ganado (afición que su familia ha ocultado tanto como ha podido). Haber tomado unas particulares lecciones de francés... Y, sobre todo, dejar que el elegante, atractivo, imprevisible y siempre misterioso Trevelyan, duque de Monceaux -su compañero de juegos y travesuras en la infancia, su loco amor de juventud-, reaparezca en su vida tras nueve largos años de silencio para volverlo todo, incluido su corazón, del revés.

Una historia de amor intensa, distinta, entre un hombre y una mujer que se atraen y se odian, aprenden a conocerse y, cuando se quitan la máscara que se han colocado, acaban amándose por lo que realmente son. Nunca pretendió ser un héroe, todo lo contrario. El capitán Sheridan Drake desprecia esa fama gratuita porque, aunque pueda engañar a los demás, no se mentiría nunca a sí mismo. Una vez fue un caballero. Ahora es un ángel caído. Un cínico. Un canalla y un truhán, y nadie aparte de su persona merece su lealtad. Por eso le exaspera y le desarma Olympia de Oriens, con su inocencia y su fe en él y en unos ideales que Sheridan enterró hace tiempo. Si cree que va a acompañarla en su arriesgada aventura, está muy equivocada... Reseña: «De la pluma de Laura Kinsale fluyen la magia y la belleza.» Romantic Times

Sin embargo, el destino hará que sus caminos vuelvan a encontrarse... Reseña: «Brillante e innovadora.» Affaire de Coeur

Un apuesto y patriota aristócrata y una inventora bella y algo chiflada se ven sorprendidos por el amor en medio de la guerra. Lord Ransom Falconer, duque de Damerell, acude a la casa de Merlin Lambourne en busca del prodigioso artilugio que este reputado inventor está construyendo. Su adquisición podría ser de vital importancia para ayudar a la Corona británica a derrotar a Napoleón. Lo que el aristócrata jamás habría imaginado es que bajo el nombre de Merlin Lambourne se esconde una mujer, una joven brillante y cautivadora que despertará en él una atracción imposible de reprimir. Para Merlin Lambourne, la interrupción del duque de Damerell supone una gran contrariedad. Una vida dedicada a la ciencia no admite pausas ni intromisiones. Solo cuando el avance de las tropas francesas sea inminente, Merlin aceptará a regañadientes la protección brindada por lord Falconer y se instalará en su finca en el campo para dedicarse plenamente a su invento. Pero el peligro seguirá sus pasos hasta la mansión, donde el duque de Damerell estará dispuesto a arriesgarlo todo, incluso su propia vida, a fin de salvar a la mujer que se ha apropiado de su corazón.
