Rogues Club Series by Annette Blair

An arranged marriage leads to unlikely passion...when the groom turns out to be a shameless rogue, in this Regency-period historical. Widowed, penniless Sabrina Whitcomb isn't looking for romance. What she needs is a husband, and she knows well enough that romance and matrimony aren't always compatible. While providing for her twins and the child she now carries is paramount, wedding a virtual stranger—even a wealthy one, like Gideon St. Goddard, Duke of Stanthorpe—is no light matter... moreAn arranged marriage leads to unlikely passion...when the groom turns out to be a shameless rogue, in this Regency-period historical. Widowed, penniless Sabrina Whitcomb isn't looking for romance. What she needs is a husband, and she knows well enough that romance and matrimony aren't always compatible. While providing for her twins and the child she now carries is paramount, wedding a virtual stranger—even a wealthy one, like Gideon St. Goddard, Duke of Stanthorpe—is no light matter. Sabrina knows the friend who arranged the union would not promise her to a true scoundrel, but one look at her future husband convinces her that he is a shameless rogue. A shockingly handsome and desirable one, at that. Why has he agreed to marry her? When Gideon flashes that wicked, seductive smile, the reason hardly matters, but the chance that he'll steal her heart becomes all too real... less

Beauty and the beast trade places. For Better Or Worse... Young and insecure, Alexandra Huntington had married the man she'd adored since childhood--and said goodbye to her war-bound groom on the steps of the church.

Funny ... Passionate ... exquisitely lyrical....” —Eloisa James UNMISTAKABLE ROGUE, Book Three This highly-anticipated third in the award-winning Rogues Club Series, is the story of Reed Gilbride, and his quest for the proof of his birth, and Chastity Somers, the annoying, but desirable, obstacle in his path. Reed’s proof is said to exist on the Sunnyledge estate, which Chastity occupies and expects to keep. Sparks fly when the alleged heir arrives to begin his search. As with all the rogues, the underlying theme is sensuality and seduction. Readers can expect a particularly emotional journey, as UNMISTAKABLE ROGUE has more than its share of romance, sex, laughter, and tears. UNTAMABLE ROGUE, Book Four Ashford Blackburne, Fifth Earl of Blackburne, does not care where he marries and plants his seed, so long as he does both before Christmas when his tyrannical grandfather’s archaic ultimatum runs out. Jilted, drunk, and challenged to a high-stakes poker game, Ash loses the game, but wins the consolation prize: a guttersnipe bride and a wedding at gunpoint. For her part, Larkin McAdams has loved Ashford Blackburne since she was a child. She’ll make him a good wife. She does not need much—a cot, a warm blanket ... a monthly bath.
