Romance Historical

Osmond Lennox has not been in London long. Having spent most of his youth in India, where his family owns one of the largest banks in the country, he's amassed a fortune. But tragedy marks his life; within six months of each other, he lost his parents and the woman he loved. He's run from his grief to London and his family's title. His reputation with the ladies quickly becomes legendary, along with his dueling skills at dawn. One evening, heading to a hotel to meet his latest lover, everything goes wrong. The bed he crawls into doesn't contain the woman he is expecting. Instead, he finds a captivating siren in need of rescuing. Lennox offers the damsel-in-distress a temporary answer to her needs with full access to all of the benefits that come with it.

Isolde Perceval enjoys her independence and freedom. Unfortunately, it's a man's world, so she has to do something drastic to keep her creepy, fortune-hunting cousin from sniffing around her skirts forcing her into a marriage she doesn't want. Her plan is elaborate and well- executed until she finds out the actor she hired to compromise her publicly is not an actor, but a titled gentleman. Thankfully, he helps her out, but as the situation escalates, he offers to save her further, which entitles him to certain benefits she is more than willing to endure. She must remain without emotion and keep reminding herself this is a temporary situation, getting attached is beyond acceptable. But to survive means her lands and money will be hers and hers alone.

SEXY AS HELL, a follow-up to GORGEOUS AS SIN, turns up the heat. From the first page, I was on an emotional ride. I laughed out loud, became teary-eyed and at one point was very angry at a character and by the end...well, let's just say this book deserves to be nominated for something. A do- not-miss read! Thank you, Susan Johnson!

When Baron Lennox's assignation with his mistress goes awry, he finds himself in bed with the wrong lady. The potential scandal leaves him with one option: marry the innocent mystery woman.
