TO REDEEM A RAKISH DUKE
Part of Wicked Dukes
By Christine Merrill
(Regency)
Sebastian, Duke of Westbridge, is gravely injured in a duel with his best friend, no less! His life hangs in the balance—but his beguiling nurse certainly keeps his heart rate high! The rogue is determined to recover and woo his mysterious caregiver—until he discovers she’s the sister of the very man who wounded him…
Cassie cannot let her brother be tried for murder! So she’s compelled to ensure Sebastian gets better and poses as his nurse. She hadn’t anticipated that her patient would be quite so charming, but this is one rake who can never be redeemed…can he?
 
A FAMILY FOR THE JILTED LADY
By Helen Dickson
(Victorian)
After being jilted at the altar, Nancy vows never to marry. Instead, she founds a children’s orphanage, pretending to be a humble widow to avoid causing her wealthy family embarrassment. She believes herself content at least. Until she encounters dashing widower Dominic Blackwell… Nancy is as captivated by the Earl of Osborne as he is by her. He and his young son make Nancy yearn for more. But Dominic’s late wife betrayed him, so how can Nancy reveal she’s the perfect eligible bride when it also means revealing she’s been lying to him the whole time?
 
RECLAIMING HIS VIKING QUEEN
By Lucy Morris
(Viking)
Viking Agnar has had many names: Usurper. Warlord. Wolf Slayer. Still, there’s one role he’s hell-bent on claiming—Skadi Friggsdottir’s husband! Rejected by Skadi years ago, he’ll be denied no longer. Storming her hall is easy. Taming his warrior queen will be much harder…
Young Skadi chose survival by marrying another over honoring her promise to Agnar. Now, believing Agnar has killed her husband, she’ll surrender her hand but never submit! Yet behind Agnar’s fury lies a man deeply wronged…one she can’t help but want. Is her enemy husband her doom, or her greatest desire?
