Desperate to save her sister's life, Sidonie Forsythe has agreed to submit herself to a terrible fate. Beyond the foreboding walls of Castle Craven, a notorious, hideously scarred scoundrel will take her virtue over the course of seven sinful nights. Yet instead of a monster, she encounters a man like no other. And during this week, she comes to care for Jonas Merrick in ways that defy all logic, even as a dark secret she carries threatens them both.

'Needed: the perfect wedding date!

'Trying to move on from a disastrous engagement, Sophie Morgan needs a date for her best friend's wedding – and fast! And what quicker way to find a man than speed dating? Only it's bar manager Dan Halliday who catches Sophie's eye.

'Dan can't resist helping a damsel in distress, so he offers her a deal – a few shifts in the bar in exchange for the date – no strings attached. But when pretence leads to passion, they both get more than they bargained for. And it's too late to have any secrets between them....' (Publisher's blurb)

'Ruby Maguire's done with being messed around by men. Now she just needs to know three things about a potential bedmate: his name, where he'll be in a week's time, and what it is he wants from her.

'Damon West knows plenty about subterfuge and secrets, and nothing about being truthful with women. But Ruby demands honesty between them so Damon gives her as much as he can: I'm Damon West. I'll be leaving Singapore in a week. And I want you to touch me.

'At least, that was the intention, but something's telling normally bullet-proof Damon that one week with Ruby might not be so easy to recover from.'

'The only thing this Russian's money can't buy…

'To merciless Serge Marinov, Clementine Chevalier's Mona Lisa smile and siren's body could incite a male riot! She's so bewitching that ground rules are required: he'll give her nights of endless pleasure—but in the stark light of Saint Petersburg's dawn he'll be gone.

'Serge is Clementine's secret fantasy come to life, but she has no interest in money—his diamonds leave her cold. So she sets some terms of her own: she won't be warming his bed until he shows her she's more than just this magnate's plaything!'
