Sweet Deception
Faulkner, Colleen
A WOMAN OF SECRETS

After accidentally killing her husband in self-defense, Thomasina Waxton, Viscountess of Greenborough, fled into the night. With nowhere to go and no one to turn to, Thomasina became Ellen Scarlet and made a new life for herself on the London stage. Though she'd vowed never again to love, Ellen's resolve soon melted when dashing Gavin Merrick came to London, enchanting her with his deep green eyes and sensuous smile... awakening within her a burning desire she had long denied. And though her closely guarded secret prevented Ellen from truly belonging to Gavin, after one magic moment of sweet surrender in his arms she craved no other man's touch but his!

A MAN OF MYSTERY

Gavin Merrick came to London under an identity for only one reason: to track down the woman who killed his brother. Gavin knew his vendetta for vengeance came first, but he was unable to resist the challenge of conquering the redheaded beauty who had bewitched him with her charms. Temporarily abandoning his mission, Gavin tamed Ellen with his powerful caress and gentle touch, only to make a shocking discovery: she had captured his heart. And when Ellen refused his offer of marriage, Gavin forgot all else and pursued her relentlessly, determined that no other man would have her. For with just one kiss she had set his soul afire and ignited an all consuming passion that had become his greatest desire!
