An Alluring Pirate Beautiful and brazen, Catherine O'Banyon sailed the high seas as the infamous Irish outlaw, Lady Cat. But as she strode the deck of her ship, she was unaware of her true identity—and of the existence of Lady Victoria Carlisle, her identical twin... An Irresistible Opponent Viscount Miles Grayson, the darkly compelling head of Ryland Shipping, had boldly set out to capture the outlaw who had attacked one of his ships, only to snare an unexpected quarry. Yet when he finally unmasked his notorious prisoner, he was stunned to discover that Lady Cat was the mirror-image of his missing fiancée. Now, fearing that Victoria is dead, Miles decides his best hope for trapping her killer is to use this fearless lady pirate as bait. But he never imagines just how well their daring plan will work...or that her deception will soon spark a blazing passion he cannot deny.

In Victorian London, the children of Lady Cat's tempestuous union have grown up. Each is thrust onto the path of intrigue and deadly peril. And each will discover a special bravery that lies within...along with an extraordinary love to last a lifetime. A Dangerous Deception Though identically handsome in appearance, Lady Cat Grayson's twin sons are different in all other respects. Trelane, a newly appointed member of Parliament, is reserved and measured in his actions, while Eric, a foreign mercenary, has a renegade's lust for life. While the two maintain an uneasy truce, it is an attempt on Trelane's life that brings Eric rushing back to London. Determined to trap the attackers, he'll masquerade as Trelane—only to find himself in danger of falling in love with his brother's betrothed, the achingly lovely Belle Kingsley. As a sinister menace next threatens Belle, Eric cannot stop himself from yielding to the sweet, simmering passion between them. Yet even as he vows to keep her safe, he knows that the greatest risk lies in telling Belle the truth about his identity...and perhaps losing her forever.

In this thrilling, passionate tale, the brother of infamous sea pirate Lady Cat will discover his own share of danger, deception, and daring, as he saves the woman he loves from a terrible fate. He could run from everything...except love. Pressured to take a wife, Jonathan Carlisle has retreated to a rural hunting lodge to consider his options—only to be seized by kidnappers. Badly wounded in his escape, he awakens in the home of a country physician and his beautiful daughter, Melanie. Uncertain of who his enemies are, Jonathan trusts no one and feigns amnesia, but he cannot deny the tender passion he shares with Melanie. And yet, despite their growing bond, he is unaware that Melanie is burdened by a damning secret, until she confesses the truth: she is wanted for the murder of her husband. Now Jonathan must prove his beloved's innocence by exposing a villain and solving a crime—before they are truly free to share a lifetime of love.
