The Wicked Lady

THE THIEF

When Trevor Claremont was blind-sided by a pickpocket on the docks beside his clipper ship, he tracked down the culprit—only to face a feisty, emerald-eyed beauty who stirred his hungriest desires.  Seeing a solution to his pressing problem of finding a bride to please his dying grandmother he offered her a deal:  a marriage to him . . . or prison, never imagining that his little cut-purse would also steal his heart.

…AND THE SEA CAPTAIN

Kristen Johnstone realized she’d been outfoxed by this handsome Englishman and reluctantly agreed to a marriage in name only.  Soon, she traded rags for resplendent gowns, back alleys for drawing rooms, and fury for fiery passion in the arms of her new husband.  But when the scandalous secrets of her past came to light, she would risk everything, including her heart, to save a love more precious than gold.
