A Scandal?
Spirited and sensual, heiress Leah Jamison knew she would marry one day, but she had thought it would be for love, not because of her father's trickery. Yet her anger soon melts into arousal when she experiences the expert caresses and bold kiss of the man who will become her husband. Richard Wexton is a duke, accustomed to command. Instead of resisting him, all she can do is ask for more...
Or A Wedding?
Richard Wexton, the Duke of St. Austin, is a man of honor and he is furious at the idea of being blackmailed into marriage! Alas, he has no choice but to consent to the outrageous scheme. Then he sees Leah for the first time: his bride-to-be is a beauty beyond compare. He cannot ignore his feelings of ardent desire—and passionate love..
AFTERGLOW

Then Leah's eyes found him. Richard. Standing before the
fire. Broad back and long legs formally clad in black coat and
matching trousers. Dark hair gleaming in the firelight.

The devil in evening clothes, backlit by the flames.

She made no sound unless it was the soft movement of
her gown that alerted him to her presence-but his back stiffened, his head swung around, and his obsidian eyes met hers
through the haze. Her sudden lack of breath was anger at
having to wed where she would not, or so she told herself. But
as he sauntered toward her, her aching heart once again
warned her that she lied.

Chapter One

London, 1821

"The Duke of St. Austin to see you, sir," the butler intoned
from the library door.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Show the man in."

Thaddeus Jamison stood in the center of his book room, its
shelves stuffed to overflowing with leatherbound volumes he
collected as a testament to his wealth. His heartbeat quickened. His chest felt tight as a surge of anticipation rushed
through him. He was playing a dangerous game with a powerful man, and all of his dreams hinged on the outcome of this
meeting. He had to remain calm, in control, or lose before it
even began.
