BEGUILLNG THIEF With the bank about to foreclose on her family's land, Emy Du Maurier desperately needed money, so she boarded a Mississippi gambling boat with the intention of fleecing an unsuspecting traveler. But when she met Cole Brackston--a shamelessly handsome rogue whose dark eyes flashed fire as he arrogantly tossed the dice--Emy forgot everything else. She knew she should stay away from this devilish gambler, but the lure of his lips on hers and the passion of his sensual caresses were impossible to resist. The mood was set for riverboat seduction and this deceiving innocent was ready for love... SEDUCTIVE LAWMAN Marshal Cole Brackston was traveling undercover on the Princess paddle steamer from New Orleans to Baton Rouge, in search of a thief, but it was impossible to avoid being distracted by the captivating charms of the angelic beauty gazing at him across the gaming tables.

And when he felt the softness of her silky skin pressing gently against him in sweet surrender, he swore to uncover her secrets and strip, away her layers of deception in a long, loving night of passionate abandon!
