Newly edited version!

Sometimes, parlor games can lead to more than mere flirtation.

Jillian Kelley, a young woman on the brink of the new millennium, has just returned from university in the states. Her new knowledge of the world and its infinite possibilities facilitate a desire to disregard her mother’s old-fashioned Victorian parlor ideas of proper behavior.

As Jillian avidly pursues her girlhood crush—a traditional fellow countryman with wealth and property—a handsome American with whom she’d shared a passionate night comes to call. The insufferable intrusion is annoying to say the least, however his irresistible, seductive ways draw her cravings to the surface like the rise of a tide.

Bradley Townsend accepted with pleasure the bequeathed gift of Miss Kelley’s virtue the very night they met, but the adventurous blue-eyed beauty stole his heart, leaving him holding nothing but a note in the morning. There’s no way in Hell he’s going to let her slip through his fingers—even if he has to hop on a ship, follow her home and seduce her all over again.

Thankfully, Ace and Beatrice agree—but when Ginny slips away from the chaperone they've arranged for her, Rory sees no option but to follow.

Virginia isn't happy, but soon things start to heat—up in the kitchen—or more accurately in the drawing room of a luxurious French chateau during a portrait painting.

Complications arise and cakes fall during the summer's escapade—get ready to be Whisked Away.

A proper lady would never steal or lie—nor would she enjoy the sting of her lover’s hand upon her posterior.

Fortune has frowned upon Miss Katrina Harwood. After the passing of her father and the sale of their possessions, she's found herself at the mercy of London's underbelly, and what's worse, she's now a vital member of the Eastside Den of Thieves, even though she's entirely miserable. Every day is a battle between her morals and the need to survive—and every day takes her further from a solution to her dilemma. During one of her many missions to lighten the pockets of the well-to-do, she finds herself in a precarious position—over the knee of her would-be victim. The impression he leaves on her bottom is one she won’t soon forget, or fail to yearn for.

During the previous London ‘season’, Maxwell Courtland married off his little sister Susanna to an up-and-coming barrister. Now, Susanna is trying to convince Max that it's time for him to settle down, a prospect which he finds completely disagreeable owing to the fact that he cannot abide the women she’s chosen for him. When he catches an adorable thief trying to make off with the family silver, he never imagines that a little game of cat and mouse would lead to falling for someone so unconventional and yet so tempting.

In the American Wild West in the summer of 1880, a widow gets another chance at love with a handsome young wanderer.

Originally from an East Coast society family, newly widowed Beatrice Gaitland is doing her best to carry on with dignity and continue her ministry to the less fortunate in the rugged mining camp of Tombstone in the Arizona Territory. However, survival will be difficult due to the fact that her late husband, Pastor Lindley Gaitland, has left all of their earthly possessions to his brother, Allen.

Handsome Luke Hughson, who rejected taking over his family's Virginia plantation in favour of a more pleasant career as a gambler, has been accused of a murder he didn't commit. Luke finds himself in Tombstone, falling for a widow whom he finds hauntingly familiar and tempting beyond words.

Allen Gaitland, who has lived in the shadow of his older brother all his life, moves to Tombstone to take over Lindley's ministry at the Shepherd of the Hills Church meeting tent. Allen is determined to win over the town and, moreover, his brother's widow.

She can't help but long for the sensual touch of young Luke, whom she has just met. Of course, it doesn't help matters that Luke flirts with her mercilessly and leaves her smouldering for him.
