Courtney McCaskill Livres

He lost her once. He can't bear to lose her again. Michael Cranfield, the Earl of Morsley, has been hopelessly in love with the girl next door, Lady Anne Astley, ever since they were fourteen years old. This made it particularly jarring when she went and married someone else when his father sent him on a secret mission for the Crown in the wilds of Canada. Now Anne is a widow, and Michael has a second chance to be with the woman he loves. He's determined to marry Anne, take her back to Canada (where's he's spent the past four years training to be Governor General, ) and wrap her up in cotton gauze so he'll never have to be parted from her. Anne still cringes when she recalls the day she learned with absolute certainty that Michael only saw her as a friend. But she isn't the biddable girl Michael remembers, not any more. She's found that being a widow, answering to no one, and running her London charity precisely as she sees fit suits her just fine. She does want to remarry because she's always yearned for a large family, but only if she can find a husband who will support her in the charity work that means everything to her. And if Michael Cranfield thinks she's going to give up her charity to move to Canada, or let him boss her around, then he'd better think again! What price will Michael be willing to pay to be with the woman he loves? What's an Earl Gotta Do? Please note that the heat level is red hot!

He swore he would never touch her... As his best friend lay dying on the battlefield, Gabriel Davenport made a pair of promises: - One, that he would make sure Hart's little sister, Abigail, married another man. - And two, that Gabe, a notorious rake with a reputation for being a magnificent lover, would never lay a hand on her. Four years later, Gabe has inherited his great-uncle's estate, and along with it, his great-uncle's astronomical debts. He needs to marry an heiress, but there isn't time to find one. If he can't produce five hundred pounds immediately, his great-uncle's creditors are going to seize everything, including his poor great-aunt's wedding ring. A scandalous solution... Gabe can only think of one way to come up with the blunt: put himself up for sale in London's most notorious bachelor auction. He'll have to spend the night pleasuring the highest bidder... no matter who it might be. But what will Gabe do when the unthinkable comes to pass, and the winner of his auction is Abigail, Hart's now-widowed little sister? It's his worst nightmare... but also his dream come true. What's a notorious rake to do? Please note that the heat level is red hot!

Sometimes there's a fine line between assessing the competition and consorting with the enemy... Thanks to an imprudent wager made by his younger brother, Edward Astley has to win a classical translation contest being hosted by Oxford University. This means he'll have to beat the latest star on the literary scene, the anonymous translator whose rendition of On the Sublime is taking Britain by storm. He's supposed to be studying, but all he can seem to think about is Elissa St. Cyr, the redheaded daughter of his former tutor, who's every bit as brainy as she is delectable. Elissa has problems of her own. With her father's health failing, she'll soon need to support her mother and sisters through her translation work. And that means she needs to win the Oxford contest, so she can secure the one thing she has never had the opportunity to earn: an academic credential. To make matters worse, she managed to get stuck in the middle of a pond during a thunderstorm, and the person who happened along to rescue her, witnessing her in the most humiliating moment of her remarkably humiliating life, was her ultimate beau idéal, the brilliant Edward Astley. Now Elissa keeps bumping into Edward everywhere she goes. Which would normally be wonderful ... ... except she's worried he's going to figure out that she is the anonymous translator everyone is talking about. Please note that the heat level is red hot!
