She’s caught between a rake and certain ruin…
Felicity Worthington’s only hope of avoiding poverty—or worse—is to accept her distant cousin’s dubious bequest…a thriving, high-class brothel. Felicity has 90 days to convince her cousin’s solicitors that Gareth Alexander has taught her the art of pleasing a man, though she’s more interested in the gentleman she glimpses beneath Gareth’s debauched airs, than in the rake he’s become.
In the business of love…How much should he teach her?
Gareth Alexander, Marquis of Heathgate, has little incentive to help a spinster learn to manage a brothel—except that the alternatives for the prim, pretty Miss Worthington are even worse. His resistance to teaching Felicity how to be a madam leaves Gareth wondering if the honor he’d thought long dead still survives, and if that honor allows him to yield to the lady’s ruinous scheme…and to their shared desires.

Passion to last a lifetime…
The Sweetest Scandal
Beautiful, exuberant, and stubborn Georgiana Black has more spirit than sense—which she learns when an ultimatum to the Earl of Beckenham ends their engagement.

But soon Georgie stumbles into a scandalous encounter with none other than her former fiancé. Beckenham is still breathtakingly desirable.
The Truest Temptation
Beckenham’s brief engagement to Georgie taught him one thing: when it comes to a wife, he wants a woman who will do her duty and cause no trouble. When the fiery Georgie falls unexpectedly into his arms, Beckenham remembers just how lushly delectable she is. Suddenly, the idea of actually marrying Georgie is irresistible. In a battle of wills, can passion conquer pride?

Rakes And Rascals 
😀 It’s so funny to see all the books I have on your reading list. Well, besides Christina Brooke’s Beckenham. But every thing else is fantastic~!!! You will love them.
Thank you, Ki. I always value the opinion of someone who shares a similar taste in books. Now I just have to find the time to read them! LOL!
I am looking forward to reading your thoughts about each of these books. I have a read a few. 🙂 January is going to be a busy month for you.
The usual problem, Lindsey. Too many books and not enough hours in the day! One of the reasons why I’m cutting back on my non-book related articles so, hopefully, I’ll have more reading time available. Well, that’s the idea!
I really wish the Essex book had been a full length novel. I loved it, but I wanted to read more about them. I have a thing for shy characters!
