Brides of Sandal Series
Gambling on the Duke’s Daughter
Captain Dylan Blake has spent the last decade fighting for his country. Desperate for a little peace, he sells his commission and returns to England but soon finds himself angry and adrift in London Society. When an old nemesis challenges him to a wager — he must get Lady Natalia Sinclair to dance with him twice in one evening — he is willing to play along.
The daughter of a duke, Lady Natalia Sinclair fears her enormous dowry is the only thing that draws her many suitors. But heroic Captain Blake seems different. Unfortunately, she soon realizes his smile is false, his interest superficial.
Dylan sees Natalia’s rejection as a challenge, and the stakes increase when he discovers his elder brother Michael is wooing the duke’s daughter as well. Passed over for Michael too many times, he’s determined to prove he can be first in somebody’s heart.
As the lines between the wager and attraction blur, can Dylan and Natalia find the courage to take the biggest gamble of all — love?

Ethan Tremaine has spent his entire life running from the tragedy of his past, but he can’t refuse his best friend’s dying request. He reluctantly agrees to marry Jessalyn, even though he’s terrified by the thought of someone depending on him.
What begins as a marriage of convenience quickly becomes much more. Can they find the courage to love, or will they let the ghosts of their pasts destroy them?
Seducing the Spinster
Julian Tremaine, the Earl of Basingstoke, is a notorious rake; Lady Jane Bennett is a spinster with a spotless reputation.
Neighbors since childhood, they’d always expected to marry. They’d been the best of friends, and when Julian experienced a string of tragedies, Jane had been the one he’d turned to for comfort.
However, when her father died the year she turned eighteen, Julian hadn’t known how to be there for her the way she’d been there for him. Instead of marrying her and giving her the protection of his wealth and title, he’d run away, leaving her destitute and alone. Broken-hearted and disappointed, Jane has learned to fend for herself and vowed never to love again.
Now, seven years later, circumstances have thrown them into each other’s paths once again. Julian has realized what a mistake he’d made and wants a chance to show her that’s she’s the only woman he’s ever loved. However, thoroughly independent and stubborn Jane would rather be alone than making a mistake of her own.
The most charming rake in London is waging a tireless campaign to win the heart of the most confirmed spinster.
Will she give in to his advances or be the one to break his heart this time?
