Requirements: .ePUB/AZW3 Reader, 1.9 MB | 1.8 MB | Version: Reissue 2020
Overview: I am a Scot, born and raised in Glasgow, one of the friendliest places in the world. Unfortunately, there were not many career opportunities in Scotland at the time I left University, and so I migrated to London. Living in England didn’t stop me from hankering after the glorious wildness of the Scottish mountains and lochs, but short visits were the best I could do.
Genre: Romance, Historical
His Cavalry Lady (#1): Dominic, Duke of Calder—rich, handsome, a power in the land. And a spy
In the summer of 1814, Europe’s crowned heads come to London to celebrate the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte. Dominic, Duke of Calder, nominally the British liaison officer to the Russian Emperor, has a more important, secret role—as a spy. For Tsar Alexander is believed to be plotting against England’s interests.
Dominic strikes up a friendship with Captain Alexei Alexandrov, a decorated Hussar and the youngest officer on Alexander’s staff. Dominic is troubled, both by the enigmatic Russian captain and by the memory of a mysterious lady he held in his arms only a few weeks before. She disappeared like smoke, but she haunts him, first as a Frenchwoman and then as a passionate lady from Scotland.
Even with the help of the rest of the Aikenhead Honours spying band, Dominic cannot fully resolve the puzzles his mysterious lady presents. When he is sent to Russia in the wake of the Tsar and his entourage, Dominic has to operate alone.
Can he find the answers he is seeking in that alien land?

His Reluctant Mistress (#2): Lord Leo Aikenhead—playboy, rake, irresistible to women. Except one
Leo becomes acting leader of the Aikenhead Honours in late summer 1814, when they are sent to spy at the Congress of Vienna, where most of the crowned heads of Europe are assembling to carve up the continent. Aided by his brother Jack and their friend Ben, Leo uses his reputation as a notorious rake to cover his spying activities.
For once, Leo’s success with the ladies is not assured—he encounters Sophie, a woman who is more than a match for him. But there is increasing unrest in France and the Duke of Wellington wants his own spies on the ground there. Wellington orders the Honours’ forces to be split—Jack and Ben to France, Leo to remain alone in Austria to defend England’s interests.
Can Leo tackle all the intrigue alone?
And how much is he prepared to risk to rescue the woman he loves?

His Forbidden Liaison (#3): Lord Jack Aikenhead—charming, irresponsible, a gambler. Past redemption?
Until their arrival in France, in the spring of 1815, Jack and his friend, Ben Dexter, have been mere foot soldiers in the Aikenhead Honours. Operating alone for the first time, they reach Lyons together, where their spying mission becomes even more urgent following Napoleon’s escape from exile in Elba. Worst of all, Ben is severely wounded when their work has barely begun.
Jack, the incorrigible playboy, must assume more responsibility than ever before and go on, without Ben, to Paris and beyond. Travelling alone would jeopardise his mission, but his only possible companion is a woman who is forbidden. If they brave the dangers of enemy territory together, will he be able to resist the temptation she presents?
And will she consent to keep her distance, even if he does?

His Silken Seduction (#4): Ben Dexter—wounded, abandoned, a baron in disguise. In the enemy’s bed
Ben Dexter, heir to a viscount, is the most junior member of the Aikenhead Honours and Wellington’s spy in Lyons in the spring of 1815. When Ben is badly wounded, he assumes the identity of a German traveller in order to survive. He has little choice, for he is sheltering alone in a weavers’ household that supports the enemy, the newly-returned Emperor Napoleon.
Ben’s nurse is a beautiful silk-weaver. Day after day, her hands caress his battered flesh. Her touch is driving him wild. But she’s the enemy. She must not discover who he is. Surely she will betray him? He has a choice—duty, or desire. Will he dare to trust her with his life, his mission, and his heart?
