Behind the Lord Trilogy
When The Pirate Lord kidnaps a shipload of convict women, little does he know that he is about to meet a stepsister and stepbrother, Sara Willis and the Earl of Blackmore, who will change his life forever. Nor does he expect to find himself eventually part of a group of friends that includes not only him but the earl and his best friend, the Viscount St. Clair. These three men’s stories make up the Lord trilogy.
 A Splendid Opportunity
A shipload of women—theirs for the taking! Pirate captain Gideon Horn could not be more delighted. His men are tired of wandering the high seas and want to settle down with wives on an uncharted island paradise. And the women will surely be grateful for rescue from the life of drudgery awaiting them in New South Wales . . . Lord, he is so clever!
A Splendid Passion
Married? To pirates? Sara Willis could not be more appalled. First she demands proper courting—at least a month. The darkly handsome pirate lord gives them a week. Then Sara insists the men vacate their huts for the women—Gideon demands her kisses in return. As the demands heat up, so do their passions—and soon Sara can’t remember just why she is fighting the devilishly seductive captain so hard . . .
 Jordan Willis, the Earl of Blackmore, is known for his exploits with experienced bedmates and his avoidance of innocents. Having never been in love, he has earned the nickname “the Lord with the Granite Heart.” So he is surprised when a chance encounter prompts him to steal a kiss from the prim Emily Fairchild, a rector’s daughter. Stunned by her passionate response, he nonetheless expects never to see her again. Then he meets the flirtatious Lady Emma, supposed daughter of a Scottish earl, who is a double for the lovely Emily.
When the earl recognizes her and demands an explanation, Emily is in a quandary. Her very life depends on convincing society that she is Lady Emma. But though she plays the coquette and succeeds in making the earl doubt his own eyes, no disguise can hide their fiery attraction. Can she trust the Lord of Granite Hearts with her secrets when he is so certain love is forbidden to him?
 Ian Lennard needs a wife and thinks he has found the perfect one. Then a newspaper column by a notorious gossip named Lord X unwittingly exposes part of Ian’s deeply hidden past. When the column scares off Ian’s skittish prospective fiancée, Ian wants to skewer the gossipmonger. Using his skills as a one-time spy, he runs the man to ground.
But the “man” is a fetching young female named Felicity Taylor, whose wastrel father left her and her four young brothers so destitute that only her pitiful income from her column stands between them and ruin. Unsure of his loyalties, Felicity engages Ian in a battle of wits that fires his blood. He is soon embroiled in a war of words and passion that will lay open his dark soul to the only woman who can forgive the sins of his past and teach him how to heal.
