PASSIONATE HISTORICAL ROMANCES

IN JO BEVERLEY’S

MALLOREN SERIES

My Lady Notorious

Desperate to help her widowed sister and baby escape a deadly pursuer, Lady Chastity Ware dresses as a highwayman and captures the first coach to travel down the road. Coming face-to-face with its occupant, the arrogant aristocrat Cyn Malloren, she orders him to drive her to a remote cottage. Little does Chastity realize that after long months of recovering from his war wounds, the handsome Cyn is looking for adventure, and being abducted by a cocky highwayman—obviously a lovely woman in disguise—is even more than he had hoped for.

“A fast-paced, rip-roaring, and most delicious read. This one is a keeper.”

Something Wicked

Disguised as the mysterious beauty Lisette, Lady Elfred Malloren anticipates only fun and flirtation at the Vauxhall Gardens Masquerade. Instead, the dark walkways lead to an encounter with treason, a brush with death, and a night of riotous passion with her family’s most dangerous enemy—the elusive Fortitude Ware, Earl of Walgrave. His control is indisputable, his power unquestionable, and his attraction undeniable. And after just one night, Elf knows she will never forget the man she should not love….

“A fast-paced adventure with strong, vividly portrayed characters … wickedly, wonderfully sensual and gloriously romantic.”

Devilish

Two of the strongest wills in England clash when Lord Rothgar is commanded by the King to escort fiercely independent Diana Westmount, the Countess of Arradale, to London. Though Rothgar, tortured by a tragic secret, has become a master of resisting temptation, Diana proves a challenge to his steely resolve. When his icy self-control melts in a moment of peril—and a night of passion—he must find the strength to surrender his heart to another….

“Beverley beautifully captures the flavor of Georgian England…. Her fast-paced, violent, and exquisitely sensual story is one that readers won’t soon forget.”

Winter Fire

Genova Smith is a resourceful woman, but the arrogant Marquess of Ashart is a challenge even for her—especially when they’re caught in a kiss and have to arrive at the house of his cousin, the Marquess of Rothgar, pretending to be bethrothed. There, beneath Christmas glitter and joy, she realizes that Ashart is determined to destroy his cousin, and could easily destroy her at the same time—since he has already captured her heart.
