The only sure thing is their still blazing desire. But with a woman like Diana, it will take nothing less than a momentous misunderstanding, a missing prized mare, and a shocking revelation to restore a love that hasn't lost its shine . . .

Getting pregnant after a booze cruise hookup was not what any parent wanted to hear, so I picked up my entire life and moved to Paris to start over. Six years later, I was ready to go home.

Now we're living next door to each other and attempting to co-parent-something that would be easy to do if the pull that brought us together wasn't still there making things more complicated.

Temptation
Jonas Tallent, who has masterfully taken the reins of his family's estate, never expected a delectable morsel like Miss Emily Beauregard to step into his library, but he certainly isn't about to hire her as manager for the village inn. A lady as tempting as Emily belongs in a ballroom, or a bedroom, preferably his.
Surrender
Emily herself hadn't expected her current circumstances, but she has her reasons and doesn't plan to share them, even with someone as seductive as Jonas. Yet he can be so devilishly persuasive. But a villain knows her secret, and soon danger threatens Em, her family, and the powerful love she and Jonas have found in each other's arms.
Readers and critics alike succumb to New York Times best-selling author Stephanie Laurens' Regency-era romances. In Temptation and Surrender, strapping gentle - man Jonas Tallent auditions managers for the inn on his family's estate. Though he is at first flabbergasted by the idea of a lady-much less a fetching one-running the inn, Jonas finds that Emily Beauregard makes a tantalizing case.
