To Tempt an Earl
121·Kristin VaydenTempting an Earl is not for the faint of heart. Thank heavens Bethanny is anything but faint! Now, honest, perhaps--too honest, but never faint! After all, why flirt when you can tempt? And why the devil would a woman choose to swoon when she could be kissed? Of course, she'd never try something so...honest, yes that was the word, honest on anyone but Lord Graham. He's the only one she wants. He alone has her heart. And, he hadn’t a clue. So it was only polite that she tell him. Now, if only her blasted guardian, the Duke of Clairmont, would see Graham as more of a suitor than his old friend. Because Graham is anything but old and most certainly not just a friend, not after that kiss, or that touch. Though, if she were to lay all her cards on the table--which any gently bred woman ought--he wasn't completely aware it was her mouth, her lips, or her touch. But that's beside the point now, isn't it?
What the Duke Wants
349·Kristin VaydenWhat the duke wants…. Is not three young ladies for wards. Nor is the responsibility for finding them a governess. Thankfully that is delegated to his housekeeper, who he might add is blind as a bat. That really could be the only excuse she has for hiring Carlotta. Because Carlotta is far too beautiful to be a governess. Temptress, yes. Unable to restrain himself—because restraint is not one of his virtues, his reputation is testament of that fact—he finds the young governess far more spirited, opinionated and tempting than he is able to resist. And of course, because he’s an idiot. He falls in love. Never questioning whether she’d be a willing participant. Of course life isn’t that easy, not even when you’re a bloody duke. And after one meddling Lady Southridge, Leads to two fiascos, Three wards decide to take matters into their own hands. Because what the duke wants…is simply to fall in love (preferably with the young woman in mind, falling in love too.)
To Refuse a Rake
343·Kristin VaydenEmma has sworn off love. After all, it is pointless to subject oneself to such torture when in the end, heartbreak is inevitable. Just like her sister had suffered. So, when Lord Daventry, the muddy brown-eyed boy from her childhood, returns to society she refuses to even look at him... well, maybe she'll look once. Or twice. But only because his eyes have changed into the most decadent color of dark chocolate. And his tanned skin from his travels is distracting, especially paired with his wide and devilish grin. The stirring of her blood from his hot whisper in her ear is nothing... at least that's what she tells herself. Lord Daventry has one response to marriage. Drink Brandy. Especially when his mother decides it is time for him to produce an heir. Reluctantly, he attends his first ball since returning from India, swearing to head to White's shortly after the first dance. However, he is pleasantly surprised to discover that Miss Emma Kingsly, the same girl he tried to kiss when she was nine, is still unmarried. Her frigid demeanor should have warned him off... but unable to ignore a challenge, he plunges in head first... never expecting to fall in love with the one woman in the ton completely set against marriage.
To Silence a Rogue
211·Kristin VaydenMiss Maria Garten had one more season till she was firmly on the shelf. One. More. It was her only chance, because while some ladies could pretend or sincerely be at peace with the life of spinster. She was not among their ranks. Taking a deep breath, she reminded herself once more to think before she spoke. It shouldn’t be difficult. Except that it was, for her at least. Because the only thing more certain than her potential future as a spinster was that Mr. Sheppard was a confirmed bachelor. A rake of the first order. Not the kind that would ruin an innocent, but the kind that would charm them, seduce her with his charming words, make her fall in love with the legendary smile and easy manner that was as easy as breathing. And then he’d walk away to find a new distraction. Utterly unaware that he had broken a few hearts in the process. Maria refused to be counted among them. She needed a husband, not a distraction. After all, friendship was far less complicated. Wasn’t it?
The One
200·Kristin VaydenWhen your best friend is also your boss, ‘great ideas’ aren’t always optional. After all, when you run the largest fashion, gossip and trend blog in the country, you got to take risks to keep it edgy. Believe me. This is edgy. The idea? For one week, date every male fantasy. The list? The Jock The Rock star The Billionaire The Stepbrother See how they are all crossed off except one? That’s because he’s Satan. And Scottish. And my best friend’s stepbrother. And there may or may not have been an incident in Jr. high that he hasn’t forgiven me for…but that’s history. Or so I hope, because I’m at his mercy for the next week…
