Out of desperation, she seeks the help of the only man with the knowledge to reverse the evil incantation, a man whose cold heart and sinful gaze pose such an enticing contradiction.
As a scholar of Egyptology and a man consumed by the pain of the past, the enigmatic Gabriel Stone shuns polite society, choosing to bury himself in his books. When a flame-haired temptress pesters him with tales of a curse, his first instinct is to flee. However, his sense of obligation proves to be a dangerous thing and the potent lure of desire too difficult to resist."
"A lady in hiding. A lord with secrets. A house with too many lies.
After six months locked away in a crumbling asylum, Lady Rose Darby escapes with one goal: return to London and reclaim her life. But a twist of fate delivers her instead to Everleigh Hall, a secluded country estate where she’s mistaken for a maid and sent to serve the brooding Lord Farleigh.
Widowed and reclusive, Christian Knight has no patience for complications. With two unruly children, a house in disarray, and staff falling ill, the last thing he needs is temptation under his own roof. Yet the new maid is clever, graceful... and entirely unlike anyone he’s ever met."

Having spent years living in the shadow of his brother’s scandalous reputation, Anthony Dempsey fought hard to regain the credibility of his family name. His unwavering sense of duty is renowned and admired. But then tragedy strikes. Threatened with ruination, he withdraws from society to hide his secret and protect all those close to him.
How ironic that he should finally meet a woman who captures more than his interest. Indeed, Sarah Roxbury is a dazzling beauty who ignites the flame of passion in his heart, awakens a craving deep in his core.

All she wanted was his surrender.
Despite much praise for her beauty and alluring countenance, there was only one gentleman who'd captured Sarah Roxbury's heart. But Anthony Dempsey was an enigma.

"He’s a gentleman. An enquiry agent. And hopelessly infatuated with his client.
Noah Ashwood has always fought for the vulnerable. It’s why he joined the Gentlemen of the Order, why he solves crimes others won’t touch. To his comrades, he’s Dauntless—unshakable, honourable, driven. But none of that prepares him for Miss Evangeline Dunn.

With a blackmailer circling, a thief in the house, and her brother missing, Evangeline needs a man she can trust. She chooses Mr Ashwood, drawn to his quiet confidence and unwavering gaze. But the closer they work together, the harder it is to ignore the pull between them.
Professional boundaries mustn’t be crossed. Hearts must not be lost.
But some lines were made to be broken."
