A Kiss To Stop A Wedding - Sarah Mallory

He must speak now... or she’ll be forever bound to another!

Engaged to a viscount, Flora is the envy of every debutante. But her husband-to-be’s cruel streak makes him anything but desirable. When Flora meets Matt Talacre, the dashing owner of Bellemonte Pleasure Gardens, she discovers what desire truly feels like... after he sets her body ablaze with a single look!

Yet Flora knows that she can’t act on their intense connection — her hateful betrothed is privy to a family secret which means that she can never walk away. Unless Matt can help her... starting with a moonlit kiss at a masquerade ball!

Hastily Wed To The Duke - Sadie King

‘I’ll marry the next eligible lady... who walks through the door!’

After the death of his dissolute older brother, Dr Ted Scott’s grief is twofold, for he’d rather remain a physician than become the new Duke of Falstone. Reluctantly he must now do his duty and find a bride — whoever that might be!

Charlotte Pearson only has herself to blame that she’s still on the shelf, living with her unpleasant mother after a failed elopement, so Ted’s impulsive proposal is impossible to refuse. He’s clear their marriage is purely for convenience — but that doesn’t address the fact he needs an heir!
