Brothers
in Arms, Book Three.
Valentine
Westridge and Kurt Schillig are lovers, and have been since the Peninsular War
when lonely young officer Valentine let himself be seduced by the equally
lonely Kurt. Now they're back from the war and intent on beginning the future
they dreamed of together, one that includes a quiet country estate, horses,
dogs, children, and each other. Their plan, however, also requires a wife. At
the suggestion of a mutual friend, Valentine and Kurt believe the financial
security they can offer to impoverished widow Leah Marleston will help her
accept the unusual sexual relationship they are suggesting.
Leah is at her wit's end, creditors having taken everything she owns to pay off
her late husband's gambling debts. She must find a way to support herself and
her two children, or be forced to marry her abusive and obsessive
brother-in-law. In Valentine's and Kurt's arms, Leah discovers a passion she
never knew existed. Brought together by necessity, bonded by desire, these
three lonely people find themselves fighting against all odds for a love that
was never part of their plans.

Lady Vanessa
Carlton-Smythe is from one of England’s most well-respected families and the
daughter of an earl. She has lived an exemplary life—the perfect daughter, the
perfect lady. Until one Christmas Eve, when she meets two men who unleash her
secret desires. She can’t surrender her heart, only her body, and only for the
next twelve days. After Twelfth Night, their affair must end and she will
return to a life that is slowly suffocating her.
Veterans Nick and
Oliver have been constant companions since Waterloo. They share everything,
including women and a bad reputation. When Lady Vanessa catches them in a
compromising position, they are seduced by the longing in her eyes. Cool,
distant, unattainable—the more she protests, the more they want her. Vanessa’s
desires prompt the two men to finally give in to their feelings and become
lovers. When desire becomes love, can they convince Vanessa to leave her
privileged life behind and surrender to them forever?
