A marquess with an inheritance problem.

When his father dies, Raph Bromley, new Marquess of Waneborough inherits
more than his father’s title. He inherits a crumbling estate, an ocean
of debt, a valuable art collection, and a most unusual stipulation in his
father’s will. No piece in the art collection can be sold unless Raph
first creates a brilliant work of art. But his imagination is as nonexistent
as his artistic experience, and that’s never going to happen.

Thank goodness for heiresses. Raph will simply marry for money. Problem
solved. Except his mother’s new companion, a dark-haired, clever, poor
beauty tests his resolve and makes him think …

Maybe painting won’t be so hard.

(It is…)

A companion with no home of her own.

Matilda Bellvue has worked as a companion for fifteen years, but
she’s inherited a cottage in Cumbria, and she’ll soon make it
her home. She plans to spend her days reading scandalous novels and
redecorating every room. But first, she must complete one final job, serving
as companion to the Marquess of Waneborough’s mother.

Her task is simple: help the grieving marchioness, argue with the
hard-headed marquess, avoid matchmakers, and resist spying on naked men
swimming in the lake. Above all else, she must not fall in love with her
employer, a man who makes her feel like she’s finally found home.

Because she has no money. And he must marry rich. And that way only lies
heartache.

 

Funny, sweet, and definitely steamy, book 1 in the Art of Love series is a
late Regency romance that’s as lighthearted as it is hot!

In this sizzling Regency romance novella by USA Today Bestselling author
Charlie Lane, opposites attract as a shy widow and the scoundrel who loves
her discover that passion is just the beginning and sometimes an affair
isn’t nearly enough.

 

A shy widow and a notorious scoundrel. She wants an affair, but he wants
her heart.

 

Lady Fredericka has been quiet too long. She’s ready to step out of
the shadows of widowhood and into the spotlight of pleasure. Without risking
her heart. Circus star and equestrian Grant Webster offers the delectable
solution. Strong, handsome, and a flirtatious scoundrel, he’ll warm
her bed without asking for more. After all, a man like him would never
seriously desire a quiet widow like her.

 

Grant has always commanded the adoration of the ladies. But since meeting
the quietly lovely Lady Fredericka, he only wants her. When she suggests an
affair, he’s tempted … but refuses. His heart is too involved
to give her the steamy flirtation she desires.

 

But Lady Fredericka won’t give up.

And Grant can only be tempted so far.

 

When he finally gives in to passion, he becomes the seducer, tempting her
to risk the pain of loss for a home of the heart with a man who loves
her.

 

A spin-off of the Cavendish Family series, this Wicked Widows novella is a
low-angst stand-alone with plenty of laughs and heat.

In this sizzling Regency romance by USA Today Bestselling author Charlie
Lane, a lady with a secret runs from the gentleman who loves her.

 

She’s not who she says she is.

Shadows, secrets, and Jackson Cavendish—all things Miss Gwendolyn
Smith runs from. She’s determined to live a life of obscurity,
studying dusty tomes. Better that steady present than her haunting past or a
future she cannot have. When a letter arrives that threatens her secrets and
Jackson tells her he’s done waiting, she must choose—face her
past and gain a future? Or continue running from both.

He fell first, but he’ll win at last.

Mr. Jackson Cavendish has chased Gwendolyn for six years but only caught
her once. In Paris at midnight. He’ll never forget what she felt like
in his arms. And he’s determined to repeat the experience. Every night
for the rest of their lives. But how to convince the woman he loves to trust
him with her secrets?

He’s tried seduction.

He’s tried retreat.

Now he’ll have to reveal his own fears and secret guilt.

When these two scholars must dig into their own pasts, they’ll learn
how to build a future from it or lose each other forever.

In this enemies-to-lovers Regency romance by USA Today bestselling author
Charlie Lane, a lady who dares too much and a brute who dares too little
engage in a battle of wits.

Lady Sarah Hampton would rather sew up a wound than tend to her own heart.
Or matrimonial prospects. When the small hospital she’s been
volunteering at faces financial peril, she seeks to save them the best way
she knows how—one dare, one wager, and one foolish rake at a time. No
matter the risk to herself. If her friend’s irritatingly handsome and
brutish brother doesn’t stand in her way.

Xavier Evans, Viscount Flint may be known as the Dare King to his old
chums, but to Lady Sarah, he’s the King of Brutes. He’d take
offense if he weren’t so busy trying to be a better man, the type who
rises above insult, never gives it, and protects his family. But when his
sister’s happiness hinges on her friend’s safety, he’ll
have to figure out how to keep the sharp-tongued and beautiful Lady
Sarah—who hates him—safe, too.

Sarah is willing to risk it all, and Xavier will do what it takes to stop
her. As the game of dares draws them closer, it reveals a hidden threat, and
these enemies must work together or hurt those they love… including
each other.

In this sizzling opposites-attract Regency romance by Charlie Lane, a lady
of passion and an earl of logic commit to a fake courtship as rakish as it
is daring.

 

Lady Edith knows the sting of unrequited love, and now she wants only one
thing—to marry a man who desires her or to never marry. But at the
Season’s end, her father threatens to provide a husband if she cannot
secure one herself. When a family friend saves her from the unwanted
advances of one of their suitors, she falls a little bit in love. With his
auburn hair and radical ideas about women, Griffin Paxton, the Earl of
Eastern, is perfect. Except he doesn’t want her back.

Griffin will not be distracted by Lady Edith’s diamond-eyed beauty.
He needs a wife to fulfill his dying father’s wish, and he needs her
to be a model of propriety to repair the family reputation his rakish father
sullied. When Lady Edith calls herself a rake, he knows she’ll never
do. He’ll have to guard his attraction to her fiery spirit and open
heart behind thick ice walls and look elsewhere.

But when Edith suggests they forge a fake engagement to appease both their
fathers, Griffin can’t refuse. She needs his help, and he never
ignores a damsel in distress. Will a fake courtship bring out their rakish
desires, or will it offer a home to two hurting hearts?
