Brushed By Scandal by Gail Whitiker

As the result of an unfortunate incident in the past, Lady Annabelle Durst knows how easily reputations can be lost. So when accusations of wrongdoings are levelled against members of her own family, it's only natural that she would resent the man who brought them believing him to be completely in the wrong.

But Sir Barrington Parker doesn't make mistakes. His investigative skills are too finely honed. Except when circumstances compel him to lay charges against Lady Anna's father. Because by setting himself against the people Anna loves, he is automatically setting himself against the woman he loves.","rating":"3.50","stock":0,"date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2011-09-01 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"sale_date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2011-09-01 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"product_id":9661,"isbn13":"9781742906683","title":"Dalliances And Desire","seo":"dalliances-and-desire","summary":"Glory And The Rake by Deborah SimmonsGlory Sutton is determined to revive Queen's Well the spa that has been owned by her family for hundreds of years.

No Occupation For A Lady

Meeting Alistair Devlin, London’s most eligible bachelor, causes Victoria Bretton no end of problems. Masking her attraction is even more difficult than concealing her alter ego — playwright Valentine Lawe — not to mention the fact that this man’s unsettling gaze is causing her the most terrible writer’s block!

Alistair’s not in the market for love...but he can’t help but be beguiled by Victoria and intrigued by the secrets she’s hiding. As they grow closer the lines between fact and fiction become blurred. Can she be the heroine of her very own happy ending?

No Role For A Gentleman

Laurence Bretton has been the talk of the Ton since the shock announcement that he is the celebrated playwright Valentine Lawe. Keeping up the charade for his sisters’ sake isn’t a problem — that is until he lays eyes on Lady Joanna Northrup...

Since her father inherited his title Joanna is no longer free to marry for love. Now she must choose a wealthy, titled husband — and soon! Regretfully, this doesn’t include the dashing Laurence — and certainly not his flamboyant alter ego. But the twinkle in his eyes tells her there’s so much more to this man. If only he can pen a happy ending for them both...
