Book eight in the Captivating Captains series
If Leo marries his best friend, they'll inherit a fortune. The only trouble is, he's already fallen for her father.
Yacht captain Leo's never stayed in one place long enough to fall in love. That all could change when he's left a million pounds. But there's a catch. Leo can only inherit the money if he takes a bride before the year is out. And Leo's the kind of man who's only interested in taking a husband.
So Leo and his best friend hatch a plan. She'll be his pretend bride, and he'll use his newfound wealth to support her animal sanctuary. What could possibly go wrong?
Archie's the closest thing to perfect Leo's ever seen. Dashing, mature and sexy as hell... After one hot night in a London hotel, Leo can't stop thinking about the legal eagle who's stolen his heart.
When Leo meets the father of his bride-to-be, he's in for the shock of his life. Can Archie and Leo join forces to give themselves and a stricken seal pup a second chance, or will a grasping lawyer with a checkbook in place of his heart scupper the happiness of the captain and the father of the bride?

- The Captain and the Cavalry Trooper
1
As the Great War tears Europe apart, two men from different worlds find sanctuary in each other's arms. Captain Robert Thorne is the fiercest officer in the regiment. Awaiting the command to go to the front, he has no time for simpering, comely lads. That's until one summer day in 1917, when his dark, flashing eye falls upon the newest recruit at Chateau de Desgravier, a fresh-faced farmer's boy with little experience of life and a wealth of poetry in his heart. Trooper Jack Woodvine has a way with strong, difficult stallions, and whispers them to his gentle will. Yet even he has never tamed a creature like Captain Thorne. With the shadow of the Great War and the scheming of enemies closer to home threatening their fleeting chance at happiness, can the captain and the cavalry trooper make it home safely? More importantly, will they see peacetime together?
- The Captain and the Cricketer

When an uptight countryside vet and a sexy TV star meet on the cricket pitch, they're both knocked for six! Henry Fitzwalter is a solid sort of chap. A respectable rural vet and no stranger to tweed, he is the lonely inhabitant of crumbling Longley Parva Manor. Captain George Standish-Brookes is everyone's favorite shirtless TV historian. Heroic, handsome and well-traveled, he is coming home to the village where he grew up. Henry and George's teenage friendship was shattered by the theft of a cup, the prize in a hard-fought, very British game of cricket. When they resolve their differences thanks to an abandoned foal, it's only a matter of time before idyllic Longley Parva witnesses one of its wildest romances, between a most unlikely couple of fellows. Yet with a golf-loving American billionaire and a money-hungry banker threatening this terribly traditional little corner of Sussex, there's more than love at stake. A comedy of cricket, coupling and criminality, with a splash of scandal!
