Once, she would have welcomed the attentions of handsome Adam Thornton. But now, consorting with a 'hired hand' is unthinkable-though the raw, sensual power of the rugged plantation manager leaves Susanna breathless. Driven by a desire for vengeance, Adam is ruthlessly determined to win both Briarwood and its beautiful new mistress-only to be undone by a soul inflamed with passion . . . and a heart ennobled by love.

(Booklist, Starred Review)
Rafe Davies might seem like just another charismatic rake, but in reality, he is one of the crown's most valuable agents. As relentless as he is reckless, Rafe has never come upon a mission he couldn't complete. But when he encounters the intriguing-yet-prickly lady's companion Miss Sylvia Sparrow while on assignment at a Scottish house party, he finds himself thoroughly distracted by the secretive beauty.

She trusted the wrong man once and paid for it dearly. The fiery bluestocking is resolved to avoid Rafe, until a chance encounter between them reveals the normally irreverent man's unexpected depths-and an attraction that's impossible to ignore. But when Sylvia begins to suspect she isn't the only one harboring a few secrets, she realizes that Rafe may pose a risk to far more than her heart.

Especially bearing the news he brings: her uncle is dying, her blasted reputation is still intact, and Lottie must return home.
