Wicked Intentions

A man controlled by his desires . . . Infamous for his wild, sensual needs, Lazarus Huntington, Lord Caire, is searching for a savage killer in St. Giles, London's most notorious slum. Widowed Temperance Dews knows St. Giles like the back of her hand - she's spent a lifetime caring for its inhabitants at the foundling home her family established. Now that home is at risk . . . A woman haunted by her past . . . Caire makes a simple offer - in return for Temperance's help navigating the perilous alleys of St. Giles, he will introduce her to London's high society so that she can find a benefactor for the home. But Temperance may not be the innocent she seems, and what begins as cold calculation soon falls prey to a passion that neither can control - one that may well destroy them both. A bargain neither could refuse.

In the Caribbean for his best friend's wedding, ex special-ops officer Ryan McLean meets a beautiful woman in the hotel bar. Their connection is immediate and intense, and they spend a passionate night together with pleasure as their only goal. But when Ryan wakes the following morning to discover the beautiful woman vanished--along with millions worth of jewels from the safe of the Saudi prince staying next door--he realizes he was duped. He becomes determined to find the mystery woman and bring her to justice...if only he could forget how explosive their chemistry was. A notorious thief known as the Dragonfly, Mariana has only more more job to do until she can retire, but the sexy-as-hell Marine she spent one sultry tropical night with is hot on her heels at every turn. She has to outwit him to stay out of jail, but fighting their magnetic attraction soon becomes a game neither one of them can resist. When Mariana's last job goes dangerously wrong and she needs Ryan's help to survive, he has to decide if their game of cat and mouse is only a game, or if he can trust this beautiful thief with something no woman has ever stolen: his heart.
