After waiting five years for her fiancée to return from the war and marry her, Roxana Langley has been jilted! She may have longed for excitement, but this was not what she had in mind... Who could possibly throw over a woman as beautiful and vivacious as Roxana? Certainly not Alex Winslow, the Earl of Ayersley, who has spent years trying in vain to forget his unrequited love. When he learns she's been abandoned by her cad of a fiancée, he finds himself offering a shoulder for her to cry on. Comfort soon turns into a passionate kiss - and scandal when they are caught in an embrace. Only one thing will save Roxana from certain ruination: marriage to the earl. The match may save her reputation, but responsible, tongue-tied Ayersley is a far cry from her dashing former fiancée. She's convinced Ayersley is merely doing his duty...while he's sure Roxana is still in love with another man. Are they trading one disaster for another?

Lord of Secrets By Alyssa Everett Somewhere on the North Atlantic, 1820
Rosalie Whitwell has spent most of her life sailing the globe with her adventurous

Even so, he’s drawn to his lovely shipmate, like him the victim of family tragedy. As
the voyage nears its end, Lord Deal is compelled to propose. But on their wedding night,
Rosalie gets an unwelcome surprise: her handsome husband is strangely reluctant to
consummate the marriage. Does she fall short of her groom’s expectations? Or is he
hiding a secret past that only she can unlock? 83,000 words
