Lady Smuggler
Widowed and bankrupt, Sylvia, Lady Montgomery, reluctantly leads her village’s smuggling operation. Without her husband’s ship and protection, she’s forced to deal with a lecherous sea captain. When her gang captures a gentleman asking too many questions, they persuade the handsome stranger to pose as her new husband.
Aspiring Rake
Lacking direction in life, Tony Sinclair is trying on the role of rakehell. After spotting the lovely young widow at a quaint seaside inn, he’s delighted when she practically falls in his lap as his pretend wife. She’ll be his first conquest, then he’ll move on from the picturesque but poverty-stricken village.
Sylvia’s gang of seven protectors thwart Tony’s seduction attempts at every turn. What started as a lark turns deadly serious as danger closes in from the law and a rival smuggling gang. Tony finds himself fighting for the villagers, his life, and for Sylvia’s heart. But having been let down by so many men in her life already, Sylvia has no intention of falling for a charming rogue ... no matter how intoxicating his kisses.
