<b>A Woman of the Night&hellip;</b><br />Her husband left behind a bankrupt estate when he died, but Sylvia, Lady Montgomery, won&rsquo;t allow the villagers who depend on her to starve. She leads their smuggling operation, even as she endeavors to come up with a safer alternative for their livelihood.<br /><br /><b>A Rogue on the Prowl&hellip;</b><br />Now that Tony Sinclair&rsquo;s elder brother, the earl, has returned from war and relieved him of familial responsibilities, Tony is free to do &hellip; something. Lacking direction in his life, he decides to try on the role of rakehell. His search for pleasure leads him to a quaint coastal village, and a young, pretty widow. Tony plans to make her his first conquest, then move on.<br /><br />After Sylvia&rsquo;s gang mistakes Tony for a Revenue agent and captures him, Tony takes on a role he never expected to play, so he can spend more time with the bewitching widow. As danger closes in from Revenue agents and a rival gang, Tony finds himself fighting for the villagers as well as for Sylvia&rsquo;s heart. But Sylvia has no intention of falling for a rake, no matter how charming the rogue ... or intoxicating his kiss.<br /><br />Originally published February 2006.
