​Lord Hartwood, The witty, outrageous hero nominated for the 2010 RT Reviewer’s Choice K.I.S.S. Hero award returns in this newly edited version of Jenny Brown’s most popular novel.
​
Everyone knows the man they call “Lord Lightning” is a cold-hearted rake with an unsavory reputation—all except Eliza Farrell, an innocent young astrologer fresh from a small country village whose horoscopes tell her he is a man who was born to love.
​
When Eliza’s predictions drive away Lord Lightning’s mistress, he indulges in one of his famous pranks and abducts her, telling her she must take his mistress's place. It's just a joke. But when Eliza shockingly takes him up on his offer, the dissolute lord meets his match in a woman as passionate and unpredictable as himself.

​
​Pressured by Kate’s father and the earl to go through with the wedding, Kate and Ned form an uneasy alliance intended to to maintain each other’s freedom—until the pet baby beaver Ned has brought to England plays matchmaker and Ned and Kate must discover what is real, what is trickery, and what are the true desires of their hearts.

Scorpio Secrets
​
Two seductive Scorpios, scarred by betrayal, battle their way to love
Captain Miles Trevelyan, on leave from active service in India, is heading out for a night on the town when he rescues a beautiful pickpocket from arrest. She's the perfect choice for a few days of dalliance—beautiful, seductive, and completely disposable. Perfect for one last fling before he marries a boring, but suitable, bride.
But tough, street-wise Temperance Smith has no intention of becoming the plaything of a man who wears the uniform of the solders who murdered her lover. Disarming her rescuer with a provocative kiss that promises so much more, she slips away, leaving him humiliated—and intrigued—by a woman whose cunning is equal to his own.
Their abortive tryst awakens shameful desires that draw them into an obsessional affair, where moments of bliss alternate with terrifying betrayals. Until the fate of a stolen Indian jewel leads the lovers to a final confrontation that only the strongest love can survive.
With a dramatic plot that takes the lovers from the slums of St. Giles to the inner sanctum of soon-to-be crowned George IV, this second edition of the passionately emotional sequel to Jenny Brown's acclaimed astrology-themed romance, Lord Lightning, has been edited and improved to become the emotional tour-de-force it was always meant to be.
Perfect for fans of Laura Kinsale, Courtney Milan, and Mary Balogh.
