       Praise for Louise Allen:

       MARRIED TO A STRANGER

      ‘Allen delivers a lovely, sweet story demonstrating how strangers can build a relationship based on lost love. The gentle, yet powerful emotions of a grieving brother are sure to touch readers, as will the budding romance between him and a shy but emotionally strong woman. Allen reaches into readers’ hearts.’

       —RT Book Reviews

       SEDUCED BY THE SCOUNDREL

      ‘Allen takes a shipwreck spying adventure with lots of sensuality and spins it into a page-turner. The strong characters and sexy relationship will definitely satisfy readers.’

       —RT Book Reviews

       RAVISHED BY THE RAKE

      ‘Allen illuminates a unique side of the Regency by setting her latest adventure in India …’

       —RT Book Reviews

       PRACTICAL WIDOW TO PASSIONATE MISTRESS

      ‘With the first in her new trilogy, Allen hooks readers with her charming and well-portrayed characters, especially the secondary cast. You’ll cheer on the hero and the strong-willed heroine to the very end of this highly enjoyable and addictive read.’

       —RT Book Reviews

       ‘You …’ Anusha began, her face against the horse’s shoulder. Then she pushed herself upright and turned to face Nick. ‘You saved my life and I thank you for it.’

      The raw emotion was gone, and as her chin came up and she looked at him she was every inch a princess for all the dust and her travel-stained clothing.

      Her courage doused the fierceness of his anger and the heat in his blood, but Nick could not find it in himself to be gracious. ‘That is my job,’ he said, his voice cool. ‘To deliver you back alive and in one piece to your father.’

      ‘You will not let me thank you?’ She took a step that brought her toe to toe with him. ‘They kiss to say thank you, the English, do they not?’

      With Pavan solid at his back he could not retreat. Anusha put her hands on his shoulders and stood on tiptoe, her body pressed against his. For an endless moment her mouth touched his, warm and soft.

      Her lips parted slightly—an invitation he knew she did not understand. Time stood still while he fought the temptation to snatch her to him, plunder that beautiful mouth, lose himself in an innocence that wanted him. Him.
