When His Kiss Is Wicked
After her father’s death, Colette Hamilton is left with four sisters, an invalid mother and a failing bookshop. The only way she can save the family business is with her unconventional ideas…or let her uncle marry her off. As for the handsome stranger is the bookshop? He’s Lucien Sinclair, son of an earl, and a notorious rogue uninterested in marriage.

Unknown to Colette, Lucien has begun an urgent search for a bride, so that his ailing father might see him married before he dies. He knows what he wants-- a plain biddable woman without the curse of beauty to endanger his heart. Yet no matter how he tries, Lucien finds himself unable to stay away from Colette. And as sinful pleasure lures them ever closer to the edge of ruin, the only question that matter is whether they can survive the fall…

"O'Riley's tale of love reverberates with lighthearted humor, witty repartee and endearing characters that capture the era to the enchantment of readers."

One Sinful Night
At seventeen, Vivienne Montgomery was utterly unprepared for the scandal that erupted when Aidan Kavanaugh abruptly left Galway for London, abandoning Vivienne to her ruined reputation. Ten years later, Vivienne has a new life, far from those who knew of her past – until she and Aidan are both invited to a weeklong house party.

Aidan Kavanaugh never forgot the magical summer he and Vivienne shared, or the betrayal he felt on finding her in another man’s arms. Since leaving Ireland, Aidan has embraced his duties as the Earl of Whitlock, including impending marriage to a young lady who will be the perfect wife in every way but one: she is not Vivienne...

Days and nights in close quarters quickly erode Vivienne and Aidan’s reserve, leading to breathless trysts that are as passionate as they are dangerous. For others are determined to keep them apart. And if one week is not enough to undo ten years of mistrust, Vivienne will lose her reputation - and her heart – all over again...

On the death of their beloved father, Caroline Armstrong and her sister are whisked away to London by their grandmother. Though determined to please her doting relative, there is one thing Caroline vows she will never do: marry.

Handsome, tall, and titled, Alexander Woodward, Duke of Woodborough, is the catch of the Season—but he doesn’t want to be caught. He finds a kindred spirit on the witty Caroline and makes her a scandalous proposition: they will pretend to court to dissuade any overtures of marriage...

Caroline thought she would be safe for the Season—and that her deepest secret would remain locked away. But with each minute spent with Alex, she finds herself increasingly enraptured by his charm, his kindness... his kisses. Caught up in a dizzying dance of desire, Caroline accepts another proposal from Alex—one that puts her in the most dangerous position of all...

And then the perfect opportunity presents itself, in the form of dashing sea captain Harrison Fleming.

But he could give her so much more… When Harrison finds Juliette stowed away on his ship, he’d like nothing more than to return the infuriating intoxicating woman to her family and get back to the business of amassing his fortune. But it’s too late to change course, so he gives her the next best punishment: the job of being his personal servant! Now, Juliette is at his beck and call, day and night. And both begin to realize that in such very close quarters, her penance may be much more of a pleasure…
