A Rogue's Pleasure

Miss Chelsea Bellamy is desperate

Her beloved brother is being held for ransom! Impoverished after the deaths of her parents, Chelsea doesn't have five shillings, never mind the five hundred pounds the kidnappers are demanding. With no one to turn to, she resorts to highway robbery to raise the sum.

Lord Anthony Grenville is bored

Viscount Montrose's coach is overtaken by a highwayman--who turns out to be no man at all! Anthony hasn't been this intrigued by anything, or anyone, since his return from the war. And when he catches the flame-haired thief breaking into his London house to further fill her coffers, he comes up with a plan to rescue her brother--and resolves to seduce her into his bed!

Their passion is mutual

Chelsea accepts Anthony's aid, but she'll never become his mistress--even if the thought of it fills her veins with liquid fire...

This is a well-written historical romance set during the Napoleonic Wars. The events in the story mostly take place in London, with some taking place in the British countryside. The author uses “flashbacks” to give us insight into both the hero and heroine’s past. The characters are amusing, very active and adventurous.   Chelsea Bellamy has grown up in the British countryside, the on

My Lord Jack

Former French courtesan Claudia Valemont can't believe her life has come to this: standing in front of a Scottish judge, sentenced to death for stealing a horse. She fled France to find her father and escape the hangman's noose. Now here she is, facing the same fate-alone, desperate and penniless.

"Hold! I will speak for her."

Burly Scottish hangman Jack Campbell takes pride in his work: serving justice and giving the condemned a quick end to their sorry lives. Why he spoke for that pale, hollow-eyed Frenchwoman he'll never know. But now he's stuck with her-assigned to be her keeper for six months' indenture.

Bound together by the rules of her sentence, Jack and Claudia learn to appreciate their differences. But as their wary affection turns to tender desire, secrets from the past appear and threaten to destroy their future...

Genre(s): Historical Romance
This is the first book that I’ve read by Ms. Tarr and I enjoyed every page, the story has an engaging heroine and a fantastic hero. The historical aspects were well incorporated and the plot moved at a very good pace. The romance was tender and spicy and the secondary characters were well written. The story begins in a small village in Scotland in 1773, where we are introduced to a young Jack Campbell.
