Summary

The New York Times–bestselling author “delivers a knockout with the one-two punch of action-packed adventure and heart-pumping romance” (Nora Roberts). When her husband, Nick, is killed by a masked man just hours after their whirlwind elopement, the sheltered shipbuilding heiress Anna Jourdaine is horrified and heartbroken. The tragedy is only made worse by the authorities’ revelation that Nick was suspected of selling her family’s ships to the American Confederacy—and that he wasn’t at all who he claimed to be.   Refusing to believe it and desperate to clear his name, she finds herself in a deceptive plot, pretending to be married to Nick’s brother—who turns out to be far from a gentleman. In fact, Brodie has just been saved from the hangman’s noose. Yet Anna soon feels stirrings of desire for this disreputable character—and uncertain about which brother is the criminal and which is merely a thief of hearts . . .   “One of the finest writers to come along in years.” —Romantic Times

    Werewolf Ella Stills has just one question: What exactly does it take to leave one's life mate? Particularly when said life mate is a stubborn, stupid-headed, liar-liar-pants-on-fire cheater? 
     
     
     
    Apparently the answer is . . . amnesia. Not hers. His. 
     
     
     
    Crosby Nash, Mr. Hotshot super-fine Lycan Lawyer, has gone and gotten himself conked on the head. Not only does he no longer remember Ella, their recent separation, or his dastardly cheatin' heart—Crosby doesn't even remember that he's a werewolf. A psychiatric nurse by trade, Ella jumps at the pack's offer of a divorce if she aids Crosby in his rehabilitation. Once his memory returns, she'll be free. 
     
     
     
    But Ella didn't count on Crosby's lost memory turning him back into the man she fell in love with . . . the one she can't resist. And when it becomes clear the pack needs Crosby to regain his memory for a reason—a reason curiously related to the woman he may have cheated with—it's a mystery Ella can't resist. 
     
     
     
    Though she'll probably wish she had . . .

Following exposure to erotica by a ship's captain and a series of sexual adventures in Naples and Paris, Anna becomes a wealthy woman of pleasure and returns to London to establish her own brothel. 
    This erotic Victorian adventure includes birching, lesbian sex, virgin deflowering, role play and prostitution.
