My Sister's Secret:

Joanna is the timid twin, the one who would rather paint than go out into society. Henrietta is the brave one, the renowned beauty who was engaged at seventeen to a handsome and rich young man. But when Henrietta’s fiancé is suddenly killed in a cholera outbreak, the twins and their cousin Brook are sent "home" to a relative's estate in the English countryside.
Joanna starts noticing herself blushing around her cousin Brook, who suddenly seems an excessively handsome young man with a new awkwardness around her. But even thinking of marriage would be impossible for the two cousins, as they are both impoverished and quite busy chasing Henrietta. Henri, still grief-stricken over the loss of her love, has chosen to throw herself at every rake in sight.
When yet more tragic news reaches the three cousins, Brook takes comfort in the arms of a woman who seems to be Henrietta, his experienced and wild cousin. In fact, the woman who spends the night with him is Joanna, and Brook makes her question her desires, her character, and her resolution not to follow a path of passion.
When Joanna discovers that she is with child, the twins are faced with a harsh choice – to be penniless and helpless little ladies trying to make their way in society, or to put a dangerous scheme in place and provide for both their futures. And Brook, Joanna’s beloved, is the only person standing in the way.

The Scoundrel's Son

The Marquess told his stubborn admirer that she must forget him and marry another.
She had other plans.
Elias Glover, son of an ill-tempered duke, is the apple of Helena Morton’s eye. But because Helena is the daughter of a Russian immigrant and a self-made man, Elias cannot obtain permission to marry her. What’s more, he must stay in his father’s house to protect his mother and his eldest sister from the Duke’s vicious impulses.
Helena, at eighteen, is a stubborn maiden who cannot abide uncomfortable shoes, boring lessons, or the loss of anything that she wants. And she wants Elias. When Helena hears that he is determined to pay a strumpet to service him, she makes up her mind quickly. She asks a servant to blindfold Elias and have him wait for the harlot in a little cabin in the woods.
She can only hope that she will be able to avoid discovery – and cling to her forbidden love.

The Rake's Return

Maggie Finch has been in mourning for ten years. Her husband Archie died when they were still young newlyweds, and she cannot overcome the loss. She plans to wear black, avoid society, and live in her late husband’s house for the rest of her life.
But when the relative who inherited Archie’s estate dies, it passes to Mr. Colin Finch, a notorious rakehell and gambler. He heads back to the country immediately, eager to claim what is his: a title, an estate, and Maggie.
Mrs. Finch knows that she should have nothing to do with her brother-in-law. But he is handsome, eager, and constantly making indelicate advances.
And as much she wishes to honor her late husband’s memory, Maggie is sorely tempted to honor her own sinful desire.
