WAKING UP WITH THE DUKE
Author: Lorraine Heath
Publisher: HarperCollins/Avon
Pub. Date: June 28, 2011
Retail: $7.99
Pages: 384

They are masters of seduction, London’s greatest lovers . . .

Renowned for his bedchamber prowess, Ransom Seymour, the Duke of Ainsley, owes a debt to a friend. But the payment expected is most shocking, even to an unrepentant rake—for he’s being asked to provide his friend’s exquisite wife with what she most dearly covets: a child.

Living for pleasure, they will give their hearts to no one . . .

Lady Jayne Seymour, Marchioness of Walfort, is furious that such a scandalous agreement would be made. If she acquiesces, there must be rules: no kissing . . . and, certainly, no pleasure.

Until love takes them by surprise.

But unexpected things occur with the surprisingly tender duke—especially once Lady Jayne discovers the rogue can make her dream again . . . and Ransom realizes he’s found the one woman he truly cannot live without.

SILK IS FOR SEDUCTION
Author: Loretta Chase
Publisher: HarperCollins/Avon
Pub. Date: June 28, 2011
Retail: $7.99
Pages: 384

From the Design Book of Marcelline Noirot:
The allure of the perfect gown should be twofold:
ladies would die to wear it . . .
and gentlemen would kill to remove it!

Brilliant and ambitious dressmaker Marcelline Noirot is London’s rising star. And who better to benefit from her talent than the worst-dressed lady in the ton, the Duke of Clevedon’s intended bride? Winning the future duchess’s patronage means prestige and fortune for Marcelline and her sisters. To get to the lady, though, Marcelline must win over Clevedon, whose standards are as high as his morals are . . . not.

The prize seems well worth the risk—but this time Marcelline’s met her match. Clevedon can design a seduction as irresistible as her dresses; and what begins as a flicker of desire between two of the most passionately stubborn charmers in London soon ignites into a delicious inferno . . . and a blazing scandal.

And now both their futures hang by an exquisite thread of silk . . .

  12. The covers on both books are awesome and the colors are spectacular. I really would love to read these books. There’s nothing better to me when reading than being transported back to another time and place where people lived, loved and were finding their way to each other whilst being entertained at the same time.

  30. L is for LOVE and I love both Loretta and Lorraine’s books! Before I even read about the two books I was automatically drawn to the dresses on both covers but absolutely adore the dress that Marcelline is wearing on Silk is For Seduction by Loretta Chase. How appropriate the Marcelline is not only the “heroine” but also a dressmaker!

    My Grandmother was a seamstress and my mother designed wedding dresses and owned a Bridal Salon so I grew up surrounded by sewing machine, patterns and beautiful gowns. I can’t wait to read Loretta’s book and find out what happens between Marcelline and Clevedon – and whatever happens to his intended bride?
