Famoso pelos seus desejos selvagem e sensuais, Lazarus Huntington, Lorde Caire, anda à procura de um assassino cruel em St. Giles, o bairro da lata mais famoso de Londres. A viúva Temperance Dews conhece St. Giles como a palma da mão - passou a maior parte da vida a cuidar dos seus habitantes no lar de órfãos que a sua família estabeleceu. Agora essa casa está em risco.

Caire faz uma oferta simples: em troca da ajuda de Temperance para navegar os becos perigosos de St. Giles, ele irá apresentá-la à alta sociedade de Londres para que ela possa encontrar um benfeitor para o lar. Mas Temperance pode não ser tão inocente como parece, e o que começa por ser um calculismo frio em breve se transforma numa paixão que nenhum deles pode controlar - e que pode muito bem destruir ambos.

Wook.pt - Prazeres InfamesLady Hero Batten, a bela irmã do duque de Wakefield, pode gabar-se de ter tudo. Até está noiva do cobiçado marquês de Mandeville. Ele pode ser um nadinha enfadonho, e não ter qualquer sentido de humor, mas isso não é nada que a incomode... até ao dia em que conhece o irmão dele.…

Griffin Remmington, Lorde Reading, está longe de ser perfeito. Leva um estilo de vida debochado e entrega-se a atividades pouco recomendáveis, mas é divertido, e o seu sentido de humor não tem par. No momento em que o conhece - numa posição deveras comprometedora, por sinal - Hero percebe que um homem detestável como ele não pode ter lugar na sua vida. Mas a constante batalha de vontades entre os dois não tarda a atear as chamas do desejo.

À medida que se aproxima o dia do casamento de Hero, é preciso colocar tudo na balança. Existirá de facto algum futuro para o casal mais inesperado do mundo?

Lealdade, perigo, e paixão... o segundo volume da série Maiden Lane é tão arrebatador quanto o primeiro...

Scandalous Desires Can a pirate learn that the only true treasure lies in a woman's heart? Widowed Silence Hollingbrook is impoverished, lovely, and kind--and nine months ago she made a horrible mistake. She went to a river pirate for help in saving her husband and in the process made a bargain that cost her her marriage. That night wounded her so terribly that she hides in the foundling home she helps run with her brother. Except now that same river pirate is back...and he's asking for her help. "Charming" Mickey O'Connor is the most ruthless river pirate in London. Devastatingly handsome and fearsomely intelligent, he clawed his way up through London's criminal underworld. Mickey has no use for tender emotions like compassion and love, and he sees people as pawns to be manipulated. And yet he's never been able to forget the naive captain's wife who came to him for help and spent one memorable night in his bed...talking. When his bastard baby girl was dumped in his lap--her mother having died--Mickey couldn't resist the Machiavellian urge to leave the baby on Silence's doorstep. The baby would be hidden from his enemies and he'd also bind Silence to him by her love for his daughter.

Dearest Rogue HE CAN GUARD HER Lady Phoebe Batten is pretty, vivacious, and yearning for a social life befitting the sister of a powerful duke.

But the harder she tries to manage the stubborn rake, the harder it is to ignore his seductive charm and raw magnetism. There's no denying the smoldering fire between them—and trying to put it out would be the greatest folly of all.
