Sometimes, the heart wants what the heart wants, even if everyone says it’s wrong.As the youngest daughter to the Earl of Alderly, Lady Elizabeth Foster has had a rather luxurious life, but when she’s thrown from her horse on an early morning ride while woolgathering, everything changes. Lost and nursing a tender ankle, she’s ready to become a watering pot, yet when a handsome stranger comes along to render assistance, she assumes fate is nudging her into the next phase of life.Mr. Douglas Pratt is only a member of the ton by a thread. His father is a baronet, but the family coffers won’t support a carefree lifestyle of a gentleman. He must earn a living, and since his looks are quite exceptional, he became a footman in a duke’s household, to his family’s embarrassment. When he comes upon a lady in need one morning on his daily constitutional, he immediately renders aid, but somehow there is confusion with his identity, and she assumes he’s the very duke he serves.No amount of trying to explain will change her mind, and because he’s smitten at first sight, he prolongs the farce merely to stay in her good graces, for there’s plenty of time to admit all. Yet the more they meet each other during the summer days, the more the story grows until there’s no escape, and no chance of winning her once the truth comes out. And when it does, heartbreak will surely follow. Will class divide and the sin of omission doom their budding romance? Or will she marry the duke regardless? Perhaps the magic of summer nights will help them discover what is truly important.

From USA Today bestselling author comes a brand new romantic suspense duet, featuring a brilliant hacker with trust issues bigger than the deep web, a CIA agent who loves a challenge, and enough heat between the two of them to melt your hardware.
Five years ago, hacker Alex McCoy had a hot-as-hell week in Paris with a CIA agent she was teamed up with, before a final night that neither of them would call their finest hour. Now, Alex’s life is spent hunting down classified information behind her screen and working too many hours to count. She’s miles past burnout and has decided to escape to New York City for a much-needed vacation.
CIA Agent Rowan Hawke never thought he’d see Alex again after his “midnight tiptoe” on their last evening together in Paris. But his sister has been abducted and he’s desperate for the help of the best hacker he’s ever met, especially when he finds out she’s in New York. Hoping to use all his previous skills of seduction to get her assistance, Rowan isn’t prepared for the immediate sizzle that springs back to life between them. Lost in the moment, he takes what he wants—Alex’s lush body bending to his will.
But when the lust is sedated between them and he admits he purposely scouted her to help him find his sister, he’ll need more than charm to win over the mistrustful hacker. He’ll need the truth. As the case becomes increasingly dangerous, the stakes ratchet up alongside the heat between Rowan and Alex. But when Alex discovers a link between the killer and the FBI, she must decide if she can trust Rowan to protect her or if he’s the man her heart needs protection from.
