    About this series

    Geologist Gemma Hastings has no interest in pursuing romance-and no patience for Lord Cameron Lisle, an esteemed fossil hunter who has a way of always honing in on her territory . . . annoyingly handsome though he may be. But when a shocking attack puts Gemma in very real danger, she may have to accept Lisle's offers of protection. Even if that means entering into a dangerous flirtation . . .

    Lisle was once amused by Gemma's dedication to her work. But now that he understands how much he's underestimated her-a woman whose beauty is matched only by her genius-Lisle is desperate to prove his respect . . . and prove himself worthy of her. But is he too late? A bitter rival, desperate to steal Gemma's scientific findings, is still at-large. Can Lisle help uncover the culprit and keep her safe-forever, in his loving arms?

    Contains mature themes.

      When scholarly Miss Ivy Wareham receives word that she's one of four young ladies who have inherited Lady Celeste Beauchamp's estate with a magnificent private library, she packs her trunks straightaway. Unfortunately, Lady Celeste's nephew, the rakish Quill Beauchamp, Marquess of Kerr, is determined to interrupt her studies one way or another . . . Bequeathing Beauchamp House to four bluestockings-no matter how lovely they are to look at-is a travesty, and Quill simply won't have it. But Lady Celeste's death is not quite as straightforward as it first seemed, and if Quill hopes to solve the mystery behind her demise, he'll need Ivy's help. Along the way, he is surprised to learn that bookish Ivy stirs a passion and longing that he has never known. This rogue believes he's finally met his match-but can Quill convince clever, skeptical Ivy that his love is no fiction? Contains mature themes.

      Lady Daphne Forsyth is a brilliant mathematician with a burning passion for puzzles. When she learns that the library belonging to her benefactress houses the legendary Cameron Cipher-an encrypted message that, once solved, holds the key to great riches-Daphne is on the case. Unfortunately, her race to unlock the cipher's code is continually thwarted by a deliciously handsome distraction she hadn't counted on . . . and cannot resist. Dalton Beauchamp, the Duke of Maitland, is curious as to why Daphne is spending so much time snooping around his aunt's bookshelves. He's even more intrigued by her bold yet calculating manner: She is unapologetic about her secret quest . . . and the fiery attraction that develops between them both. But how can they concentrate on solving a perplexing enigma once the prospect of true love enters the equation? Contains mature themes.

      A dedicated painter, Miss Sophia Hastings is far more concerned with finding the right slant of light than in finding Mr. Right. But when an overheard conversation hints at danger for another local artist, Sophia is determined to get involved. Even if it means accepting help from an impossibly good-looking vicar who insists on joining her investigation-and threatens to capture her heart . . . Reverend Lord Benedick Lisle knows that Sophia is no damsel in distress. But he won't allow her to venture into peril alone, either . . . especially since he finds Sophia's curious, free-spirited nature so alluring. But protecting her from harm is becoming more difficult than the vicar could have expected as he and Sophia confront their fiery mutual passion. Who could have known that the art of love would prove so irresistible? Contains mature themes.
