Tempting His Mistress by Samantha Holt

Tempting His Mistress

Coming November 10th

What could possibly
induce at woman to follow in the footsteps of her mother and further sully her
reputation by becoming a mistress?

Lilly Claremont is
well used to being at the centre of gossip.  Being the illegitimate child
of a rich businessman never failed to titillate the gossips and while she cared
little about the wagging tongues she never intended to reinforce their opinions
of her by ruining herself completely.

But it seems Lord
Hawksley is determined to make the fascinating Lilly his mistress…

Evan has no doubt
her bold tongue and beautiful body could keep him entertained for some time.
Captivated by her, he must find a way to burn through his desire for her. He
cannot marry a woman of such social standing so why not make her his mistress?

After the murder of
her father, Lilly is searching for answers and they lead her directly to Lord
Hawksley. But will they also lead her to his bed...?

Once Upon a Rake

Coming November 24^th

In Victorian England, little
Ellie Browning swiftly discovered happy endings did not exist, and rakes were
simply rakes. When the man she had adored for years kissed her and left her
heartbroken, she resolved to put any dreams of fairy tales aside.

Seven years later, the widowed
Eleanor, Countess of Hawthorne, has returned to England after years of
travelling with a few ideas in mind. Firstly, she will continue to be the
refined, elegant woman she has learned to be—or at least she shall try her
best—and secondly, she will make a difference to the lives of those less
fortunate than her.  A fine opportunity
presents itself when she discovers she is now a part owner of a cotton mill.

But the owner of the mill and the
very same rake who had hurt her, has no desire to let a woman interfere with
his business, let alone little Ellie Browning. After one of Lucian’s mills
succumbed to fire, he’s fighting to save the other and continue his father’s
legacy of fine business decisions and accruing wealth.

However, after a series of
accidents, it becomes clear someone wishes the mill to close. But who, and why?
Forced together to investigate the incidents, they must get past their shared
history if they want to save the business.

If only the growing attraction
between them did not prove such a distraction. With things heating up between
them, it becomes clear that they are both at risk of getting burned...
