Surprised Heirs
The sequel to the Surprise! Dukes series, these books feature the children of our last couples, all grown up. That rapscallion pickpocket, Bull Lindsay, has grown up and founded a detective agency with clients from all walks of life. His relatives and friends are not only his employees...but are being manipulated into marriage by one of his clients...
Her Magnificent Mistake
She’s been ordered to betray him—but her heart has other plans.
Lady Marcia Calderbank may be the daughter of a duke, but her genteel upbringing ended the day her heart was shattered by her first love, Maxwell "Hawk" Hawthorne, her brother's best friend. Ten years later, she’s forged a new life in the shadows—working dangerous cases for the Crown as part of her brother’s private detective agency.
Now she’s been given her most perilous mission yet: seduce the newly titled Baron Tostinham and prove he’s a deadly criminal. The only problem? The new baron is Hawk. The man who broke her. The man she’s never stopped burning for.
Thrown together in a storm of secrets, seduction, and suspicion, Marcia must decide what matters more: her loyalty to the Crown—or the man who still has the power to ruin her. Because if she gets too close, she could lose everything. And if she pulls away, it might already be too late.
Warning: Things are getting HOT in Scotland! Get ready for a fun time with this delicious new super-spicy Victorian romp!

Her Tempting Traitor
She’s the only one who can save him…but this ex-spy doesn’t want her help!
Miss Gabrielle Lindsay, niece to the Duke of Exingham, has done the impossible: turned her privileged status into an unofficial veterinary education—despite the fact that no respectable institution would grant her the title. She’s proud of her skills, respected for her work, and perfectly content with a life spent healing animals. So why then did she agree to help her uncle with his investigation?
Because of the pregnant elephant, of course.
Under the guise of treating an ailing pachyderm, Gabby infiltrates Inverlochy Castle, where Cassian Grey—former spy, current prime suspect—is hiding. Her task? Get close, dig up evidence of treason, and expose his secrets. Simple.
But Cassian is anything but simple. Brooding, sharp-eyed, and far too perceptive, he sees through her charm. Worse, he intrigues her just as much as he frustrates her. His wounded leg and violent past should make him untouchable, yet something in him calls to her instincts—to heal, to understand, to get under his skin. Well. At the very least, his clothes.
Cassian has spent a lifetime keeping people out, and Gabby has never met a puzzle she couldn’t unravel. The question is: which of them will break first?
Warning: Another super-spicy adventure with convoluted schemes and hilarious grumpy/sunshine hijinks from the undisputed queen of historical rom-com!

Her Hired Husband
Running a whisky empire was easy. Faking a marriage? Turning out to be a bit more difficult...
Miss Helena Lickfold is a most unorthodox heiress. She took the fortune her father left her and—blessedly free of meddling male guardians—started her own successful whisky distillery on Islay. After all, years of studying gardening, jam-making, and the art of a well-timed boil (teapot, of course) had to lead somewhere useful. The only hiccup? Convincing a bunch of stubborn, barley-soaked Scotsmen to take orders from a refined young lady.
So she did what any reasonable woman would do: made up a husband. A commanding, unseen Mr. Lickfold whose “instructions” she’s been following for two years.
But the locals are starting to raise their eyebrows… and Helena knows the jig is nearly up. In a moment of desperation, she hires a reputable agency in London to find her a man—just someone to pose as her husband, offer a nod of approval, and vanish. Easy.
Enter Hunter Lindsay. A charming baseborn bareknuckle boxer who not only is surprisingly good at this husband thing...but insufferably attractive and not nearly as willing to disappear as she’d hoped. Helena can’t decide if she wants to kiss him or kick him… or both, repeatedly.
But when danger closes in and her new hired husband becomes the target, Helena has to choose: risk the only man who’s ever made her want a real partner… or protect him the only way she knows how?
Warning: another flaming hot adventure, full of bad jokes, spicy bits, and more than a little whisky. Get ready for fun!

Her Favorite Forever
She’s in disguise. He’s in denial. Hijinks are inevitable.
Lady Rosie Hayle has always loved Bull Lindsay…but he's never seen past the girl she used to be. So when he needs an art expert for his latest case, Rosie dons a mustache, calls herself Robert, and proves she's exactly the partner Bull needs—in more ways than one.
Bull Lindsay has always trusted his instincts…[EP3] which is why ‘Robert Hoyle’ sets them all on edge. Smart, talented, and oddly familiar, his new expert is hiding something. When the disguise comes off and Rosie is revealed, Bull's carefully constructed world tilts on its axis. She's brave. She's brilliant. And she's absolutely, devastatingly perfect.
Now they're hunting a blackmailer across Scotland, going undercover as an engaged couple, and pretending their chemistry is just for show. But despite her family’s enemy one step ahead, a ruby-necklace-mystery spanning generations, and Rosie's terrifyingly overprotective father with fists that have broken necks on the warpath, the biggest danger might be to Bull's carefully guarded heart…
Warning: Contains creative cursing courtesy of Demon Hayle, enough disguises for a theatrical troupe, one truly unfortunate twiddly mustache, and a hero who finally realizes the perfect partner has been right in front of him all along.
This is it: the book you’ve been waiting for! Bull versus Demon, with headstrong firecracker Rosie refereeing… An utterly delightful way to wrap up this super-spicy series—equal parts mystery, mischief, and mayhem.
You’re going to have so much fun!
