Tina's Books
A WOMAN WITH A SECRET

Victoria Ashton has intelligence and ambition—
qualities of little value to most marriage-
minded gentlemen of the ton. Her own father
has no idea of Victoria’s hidden life as an
anonymous trader in London’s stock market.
But her hopes of independence are shattered
when her father's enemy, Blake Mallory,
assumes Charles Ashton's debts and presents
Victoria with a stark choice: live with him as his
mistress for one year, or condemn her family
to bankruptcy.

A GENTLEMAN WITH RESOLVE

For years Blake has dreamed of justice, and his
scheme becomes all the sweeter when he
sees the beauty that Victoria has become.
Scoundrel he may be, but Blake will not force
anyone into his bed. He intends to entice
Victoria, one wicked kiss at a time. But with a
woman as spirited and sensual as Victoria,
seduction works both ways—and a plan rooted
in revenge can blossom into a scandalous
passion…

                A PERFECT SCANDAL

Impetuous Lady Isabel Cameron knows what
she wants and an arranged marriage to an
elderly dominating husband is not in her
plans. As an artist, she longs to travel to Paris
to live with her eccentric aunt and study
watercolors. When her father pressures her to
marry, she knows she has to act fast. Isabel is
all too aware that society dictates that a lady
must have a pristine reputation to secure a
rich, titled, old husband. She plans a scandal
to escape a loveless match. What better way
to damage a reputation than to seek the aid of
her childhood infatuation and former rogue,
Marcus Hawksley. Marcus had been snubbed
by the ton years ago when he dared to enter
commerce. It does not matter that he is now
an influential art collector and prosperous
stockbroker of the London Stock Exchange
with more money than most of the upper crust.

Marcus Hawksley cares naught for society’s
cruel opinions. As the unwanted younger son
of a powerful earl, he was left without a title,
money or purpose in life. His carefree past
included plenty of women and too much
brandy.  But he has since reformed and now
revels in his status as a ruthlessly successful
stockbroker and avid art collector. For years,
Marcus’s mantra has been that art and money
don’t betray you, only people do.

When Marcus learns that a valuable piece of
art is being auctioned at an estate sale, he
rushes to the auction, refusing to be outbid.
Unbeknownst to him, childhood acquaintance
Lady Isabel learns of his whereabouts and
follows him to the auction. Boldly
unchaperoned, she seeks him out in a room
full of erotic art and surprises him with an
outrageous proposition: she seeks a salacious
affair to ruin her reputation and escape a
loveless match. Marcus tries to talk Isabel out
of her mad scheme, but the lady kisses him
and ignites a sizzling attraction that takes both
of them by surprise. But when they’re
unwittingly caught together and a priceless
painting disappears, Marcus is the lead
suspect—and Isabel his only alibi. A hasty
marriage of convenience forges an unlikely
alliance, and they must learn to trust their
hearts before a mysterious enemy with
murderous plans ends their burgeoning love
before it begins...
