quite good as a bluebeard known as the notorious Captain
Phoenix. When he captures a feral big mouth female, she

as she rips his skin off with her temper that shows no

desirable moaning. Lucien's Gamble. Womanizer Lucien Remington lives by the

rule. He is a notorious womanizer who is considered a
social pariah despite his wealth. However, his antics
costs him his heart's desire, Lady Julienne La Coeur until

seizes the moment as his body would recognize his heart's

wagering more than being an Earl. However, he finds
himself stuck in a dilapidated mansion owned by a crazy
duchess. However, though he wants to allude his hostess,
Hugh wants to sleep with the companion Charlotte even
though she obviously hides something from him; something
that could prove dangerous to him if he learns what her
secret is. BAD BOYS AHOY! contains three wonderful historical
novellas starring strong females ready to battle against
and on the side of the bad boys they love. The robust
compassionate courageous women make for a fine time as
they do not fear men who make other males shake in fear
and ladies tremble in anticipation. This is a fine "Bad
Boys" entry. Harriet Klausner

SummaryOh, those naughty rakes. With their wicked winks, sensual
smiles, and bad boy habits, you just can't take them out in
polite society. But who wants to go out when you can stay
in...?
STOLEN PLEASURES
Sebastian Blake, Earl of Merrick, long ago fled the
responsibilities of his title to become the infamous pirate,
Captain Phoenix. But the booty he's just captured on a
merchant ship is a fierce tempered minx who claims to be a
bride...his bride, married to him by proxy on behest of
their fathers. He could shame his hated family and return
his beautiful wife untouched, but no treasure has ever
proved more tempting to Sebastian, and making their marriage
a true one—in every sense—is his one urgent desire...
LUCIEN'S GAMBLE
Lucien Remington's reputation as a debauched libertine who
plays by no one's rules—in business or the
bedroom—is well deserved. He gets what he wants, social
repudiation be damned. But society can keep from him the one
thing he truly desires, the untouchable Lady Julienne La
Coeur. Until she sneaks into his club dressed as a man and
searching for her irresponsible brother. Suddenly she's in
Lucien's grasp, his to take, and his mind is filled with the
most wickedly sinful thoughts. A gentleman would walk away
from the temptation she presents. But then, Lucien has never
claimed to be a gentleman...
HER MAD GRACE
Hugh La Coeur never wanted to be the Earl of Montrose. Wine,
women, and a hefty wager are preferable to responsibility of
any kind. It's certainly preferable to spending the night in
an eerie, neglected mansion owned by a legendary madwoman.
The duchess's companion, the fiercely independent Charlotte,
is another matter altogether. Hugh would be happy to spend
as many nights in her bed as possible. He knows she's hiding
terrible secrets, but for once in his life, Hugh has the
desire to take on someone else's burden as his own, no
matter what the danger...
They're mad, bad, and totally irresistible...
