What happens when a struggling actress and a grieving widower come together in a night of unbridled debauchery orchestrated by a bored and machinating rake? In A Wild Night's Bride, Phoebe Scott, alias Kitty Willis, is a lonely lady, down on her luck. Sir Edward Chambers is steadfast, respectable, and avowed to a life of celibacy. Devil in disguise, Viscount Ludovic DeVere, is the machinating rake hell-bent to return his best friend, Ned, to the land of the living. But with the devil in charge...there will surely be hell to pay. In The Virgin Huntress, desperate times call for devilish measures... The coddled and pampered Lady Vesta Chambers is accustomed to getting what she wants, but what's a girl to do when the man of her dreams has eyes for another? Younger brother to Viscount Ludovic "The Devil" DeVere, Hew has returned from the American war scarred, disillusioned, and looking forward to settling down with the right woman.

Mini- excerpt from A WILD NIGHT'S BRIDE
DeVere, on the other hand, evinced no such qualms. He had already loosened his cravat and was stripping off his coat.
"As I said earlier, there is no need," Phoebe insisted. "A couple of buttons and a raised petticoat are all the business requires."
"How delightfully unromantic you are, my dear!" He chuckled. "But while most men would be charmed to comply with your simple wishes, I have quite another game in mind. One that most definitely requires you to disrobe."
"But what if I don't want to?"
"Oh but you will," he said with a smug smile.
She glared. "You are very sure of yourself!"
He studied his buffed fingernails. "I am sure of Ned. Thus, we must put on a convincing show."
Her brows came together in a deep scowl. "What do you mean? What has Ned to do with this?"
"Everything. And at any moment, I expect him to burst through that door like a raging bull."

"May I touch it?" she asked.
"Bloody hell!" he cried. "No! You may not touch it!"
"But I know how. I saw you only yesterday. Is that what you do to make it go away?"
"It is one of several methods," he replied. "Another is just to ignore it."
"But it is so large and swollen. Is it painful?
"No, just uncomfortable. Now, may we stop discussing my..." The appropriate word for feminine ears failed him.
"Phallus?" she offered. "That is what the grooms call it."
"Why are you eavesdropping on grooms?"
"I used to watch the stallions mounting the mares."
"You what!" Hew almost choked.
"Well, how else is a girl with no mother supposed to get any education? Although I doubt Mama would have told me very much. So there's really no reason to be timid, Hew. I already know all about the mating process. And to the best of my knowledge, the stallions never ignored it until it went away. Please feel free to relieve yourself of it. I would even help you if you would like. I'm not the least afraid for I have seen much larger ones."
