	Scandalous

“Too late.” Adam sensually drew her lower lip into his mouth for a moment as if to check the brandy’s vintage. “But never fear, your secret is quite safe.”
“What—”
He took advantage of her gaping lips before she could protest her innocence. His tongue teased the inside of her mouth, inducing giddy sensations that made her want to lean against him, and respond to the gentle touch. Heat swarmed to her thighs and down her legs. Her arms crept around his shoulders and clung to him.
Suddenly Elizabeth didn’t care that Adam knew about her brandy-inspired courage, his lies, even his tawdry reputation, for that matter. The experience of his kiss more than made up for the amount of practice he must have had. At the moment, she was grateful for his expertise. After all, she would garner the pleasure of his training for the rest of their lives.
As if a great reluctance beset him, Adam broke the kiss, and unruly disappointment rippled along her spine. She fought her hope to be kissed again.
“Have you thought of a more suitable endearment?”
“I-I—”
“Believe you need more inspiration.” He finished the sentence for her. Adam tipped her head back with a gentle kiss. “I believe I will miss you terribly during the next few months while I’m exploring the Caribbean.”
His words planted her firmly back into reality. He planned to desert her. Her hands slipped from his shoulders to his wretched chest. He may be an experienced lover, but even as his lady, she would be just one of many women. He was a rake forced into marriage by his own miserable reputation, but more likely by her father’s treachery. She was only another amusement to him.

	My Captain Jack

Nissa Gedhaul finds she can't support herself and her sister on a schoolmarm's salary. She sets aside her romantic riverboat fantasies to marry Chase Fortier, a handsome, young businessman willing to also accept her five year old sister. Blinded by a recent accident, Nissa learns Rafe Fortier, Chase's uncle, has arrived to escort her to the waiting arms of her intended groom.

Rafe's instant attraction to his nephew's blind fiancée set him at odds with himself. To compensate for the attention he can't bestow on Nissa, he lavishes fatherly attention on her little sister, Katie. Unknowingly, he wins both their hearts.

Nissa's first mistake was to believe Rafe's assurances of his nephew's love. Her second was to attempt independence, when she flees from the scandal of living under Rafe's roof, as evil forces are eager to send her to an asylum. With Katie in tow, Rafe and Nissa flee from the law. Her final mistake is to play the role of Rafe's wife hoping he will make the falsehood right. But, he is not ready to accept her as his own, not when she can't see the scars that cost him his first love.
