Cynster

Charles Morwellan, eighth Earl of Meredith, knows he must marry, but he plans to do so on his own terms. So, after years of escaping the clutches of would-be wives, it is quite a shock when he is refused by the beautiful Sarah Conningham.

Handsome, wealthy, and well-born, Jonas Tallent has everything a gentleman needs to enjoy London society to the fullest...and he has. He's played cards until dawn, flirted with eligible young ladies, and made love to some ineligible ones. But now he's restless and bored with the mindless frivolity and careless pleasure, so it's with a sense of relief that he takes up the reins of his family's estate in rural Devon.

Restless and disaffected, Jonas tallent, Lucifer Cynster's brother-in-law, happily leaves the ballrooms of London and returns to Devon to manage his family's estate. His most pressing concern is to find a new innkeeper, a task that proves difficult - until Emily Beauregard applies for the position. A lady innkeeper is not what Jonas had in mind, especially not one who invokes his protective streak. But Em is desperate to remain in Colyton village with her siblings. She refuses to take no for an answer.

In Temptation and Surrender, strapping gentleman Jonas Tallent auditions managers for the inn on his family's estate. Though he is at first flabbergasted by the idea of a lady - much less a fetching one - running the inn, Jonas finds that Emily Beauregard makes a tantalizing case.

The Honorable Miss Mary Cynster always gets what she wants. As the last unwed Cynster of her generation, she is determined to remain in charge of her life and of the man she will marry.

Lady Mary has been waiting years for this opportunity. Now that her sister has thrown off her spinster ways and become betrothed, it's finally Mary's chance for true love. She knows exactly who she wants - and it's not someone as wild, unmanageable, and sinfully seductive as Ryder Cavanaugh.

It's December 1837, and the young adults of the Cynster clan have succeeded in having the family Christmas celebration held at snowbound Casphairn Manor, Richard and Catriona Cynster's home.

Fate, he's sure, would never be so kind as to decree that Niniver should be his. The best he can do for them both is to avoid her.
