Author’s Note: The stories in the Knight Security, Alpha, and Regency Unlaced Series have stronger sexual content and language than my other books. Caleb Knight’s nephew wasn’t alone when he was kidnapped three months ago, his young Spanish nanny was with him. They have Daniel back now, but Magdalena Roig is still missing. Caleb is ex-army, and he knows what it’s like to be held prisoner and tortured, but he still lives his life by the code no one gets left behind.

When the powerful Russian, Dimitri Volkov, arrives as a guest on the island, Lena finds herself drawn to this scarred and dangerous man in a way she’s never been attracted before.

Or is this just a trap to ensure her compliance when her ‘owner’ orders her to share the Russian’s bed for the duration of his stay on the island?

An unhappy marriage, to an adulterous wife, has left widower Mr. Ranulf Montgomery immune to the wiles of women. He certainly has no time, or sympathy, when the young and beautiful Miss Darcy Ambridge, is found hiding in his carriage, as he makes the long journey from London back to his home in Scotland. Darcy Ambridge acts out of desperation when she decides to throw herself on the mercy of Ranulf Montgomery. Convincing that hard and cynical gentleman of her dire circumstances seems impossible, however. Can Darcy break through the hard shell that now surrounds Ranulf’s emotions, and find the warm gentleman she once found so intriguing? Or will Ranulf simply abandon her to the attentions of the lecherous gentleman determined to bed her? As desire rages out of control between the two of them, Ranulf dearly wishes to rid himself of Darcy’s company. Something he knows he cannot do, in all conscience, until he finds the culprit of the series of ‘accidents’ now threatening to injure or kill both of them. Who could possibly want to see one or both of them dead? The unscrupulous gentleman Darcy is running away from? Or perhaps someone from Ranulf’s past, set on revenge?

Author’s Note: The stories in the Knight Security, Alpha, and Regency Unlaced Series, are more explicit in their language and sexual content than my other books. Billionaire ruler of a Mediterranean principality, Prince Alexandre of Androcco took one look at Anastazia Carmichael and knew he wanted her. A royal prince who is denied nothing, he’s now determined to have her. Stazzi doesn’t quite know what to make of the focused attention of Prince Alexandre of Androcco, a man known for his exploits in the bedroom as much as he is for his overwhelming good looks and wealth. She’s flattered, of course, and there’s no denying she feels the same thrill of attraction he does. But does he just want her as a plaything in his bed for the week he’s in England? Or is there more to the attraction? Either way, Stazzi is about to become engagement to another man, and as such should be totally immune to Alexandre’s hot pursuit. Except she isn’t… Someone doesn’t want these two passionate people to be together, and is determined to put a stop to their budding relationship. Even if one of them has to die…

From Kate, and the desire that burns out of control whenever the two of them are alone together.
