A Lady Risks All

It would be unwise to mistake me for an innocent debutante - for years I have graced the smoky gloom of many a billiards club and honed my skills at my father's side.

But now he has a new protg - a Captain Greer Barrington - and while my father would see me attract the attentions of an eligible lord, I, Mercedes Lockhart, have other ambitions. Even if that means seducing the Captain to earn back my father's favour! I know I must avoid falling for Greer's charming smile . . . but his sensual kisses could be worth the risk .

A Lady Dares

According to society, I, Elise Sutton, haven't been a lady for quite some time - a lady couldn't possibly run the family company and spend her days on London's crowded, tar-stained docks. And she most certainly wouldn't associate herself with the infamous Dorian Rowland - privateer, smuggler and The Scourge of Gibraltar himself!

But I need Rowland and his specialised expertise, especially with the wolves circling, waiting for me to fail. I yearn to feel alive and Rowland, who can kiss like the devil, inflames my senses and makes me dare to break free .
