    About this series

    A daring widow. A determined marquess. A story too wicked for the eyes of the ton…
    Lady Georgiana Black, dowager duchess of Ashwood, emerges from a year of official mourning with her next steps firmly in mind. She will retreat to her beloved country estate, play matchmaker to her dearest friends, and write daring romance novels under a male pseudonym. Far from the prying eyes of the ton—and her late husband's odious cousin.

    But when her publisher wants to meet "Geoff Parker" in person, she gratefully accepts the help of Jeremy Graystone, heir to a dukedom. The childhood neighbor and friend she might have married.

    Years ago, Jeremy had to watch Georgiana's family marry her off to another. Now the timing is finally right. But with Georgiana determined to relish her newfound freedom, he will be patient and plan for the day he will have her in his bed, his hands tangled in her spun-gold hair, her lapis-blue eyes only for him.

    And do whatever is necessary to keep her late husband's greedy cousin from destroying her happiness…

    Note: Her Lustful Desires is the sizzling first book in J.R. Salisbury's new series, "The Merry Widows".

      The Duke of Huntington, handsome, wealthy and a confirmed bachelor, requires peace and quiet for the holidays at his ancestral estate, Huntington Ridge. But his sister and friends, all widows, are tired of peace and quiet. They're desperate for all the festivities and lusty frolics of the Christmas season!  How can they prevail against the Duke's demands?  One simple ingredient: they have a secret weapon and aren't afraid to use her -- the beautiful Meredith Lambert, his childhood friend, who's back in England after a ten-year hiatus on the Continent.   Can she win him over to their plans? But, more important, can she hold off his amorous seductions? And does she even want to? Join the fun as Huntington Ridge is invaded by passionate women, cranky relatives, quirky neighbors, a dashing Major, a lovelorn vicar -- and a snowstorm like no one has seen in years!

      The young and beautiful widow, Lady Alexandra Chase, thought she had all the time in the world to marry her love, the dashing Scotsman, Major Pendleton.  But how was she to know that Napoleon would strike again, thrusting Pendleton into a deadly undercover mission for Wellington and the British Army?  Months later no one knows his whereabouts or whether he's even alive. Grief and despair threaten to destroy Lady Alexandra -- except for her belief that he's still alive.  Some say that love conquers all, but can their love conquer betrayal and a vicious traitor on the hunt for Pendleton?

      Felicity Drummond had fallen in love with Chandler Rhys the moment she'd laid eyes on him the previous summer. But that didn't mean she'd make a fool of herself, especially after he'd ridden off on another expedition, leaving her with just a kiss, a note and a bouquet of wildflowers. Chandler Rhys suspected that his feelings for the beautiful widow, went deeper than just a passing fancy. But she was so intimidating with her sensuous beauty and wealth, often leaving him to feel like a fool. What man would succumb to that? But life has a way of turning things on its head, and a freak accident leaves the two reluctant lovers captive for the Christmas holidays, surrounded by crazy relatives, a passel of waifs and strays, not to mention two voracious wolfhounds. In this third and final novella of The Merry Widow series, another lusty holiday season descends on the residents of Lake Windermere -- enjoy!
