The Decadent Duke by Virginia Henley.

To Seduce a Texan by Georgina Gentry. This Western romance, set in the 1860's, sees Will 'Waco' McCain kidnap a banker's stepdaughter for ransom, only to find that the banker is happy to get rid of her in order to keep her inheritance.

When the Duke Returns by Eloisa James. Lady Isidore is happy to find that the man she was married to by proxy as a child is in fact a handsome stunner.

If only Isidore can find a way to consummate the marriage before it's too late...
Wicked Intentions by Lydia Joyce. Esmerelda is a beautiful Victorian spiritualist who is trying to discover the dark secrets of Viscount Varcourt as revenge for his public skepticism of her talents.
