Book Description
Kingston’s Obsession (Kingston Security 6) is the sixth book in USA Today and Amazon International #1 Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer’s, Contemporary Romantic Suspense series. Felix only caught a brief glimpse of the ethereally beautiful red-haired woman being held captive in the home of the head of the London gang of cutthroats who were demanding his cooperation. But it was long enough to know that he wanted to help her. That he wanted her. Brianna grew up in Ireland, well away from the life of crime her brothers led in London. Until Anthony Bart, the leader of the most powerful gang in the city, demanded she marry his son and unite the two factions against the Albanian gang trying to take control of London’s criminal underworld. No amount of pleading or begging on Brianna’s part had succeeded in changing her brothers’ minds. Terry Bart was due to be released from prison in one week’s time, the wedding to take place the day after that. Unless Brianna could find a way to escape. Or someone who would help her. Someone like Felix Kingston. A man she’d seen only once but instinctively knew she could trust.

Book Description
Kingston’s Rival (Kingston Security 7) is the last book in USA Today and Amazon International #1 Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer’s, Contemporary Romantic Suspense series, Kingston Security. The last thing Casper wants is to be assigned round-the-clock bodyguards. Yes, his car has had its tyres slashed on three separate occasions in the past two months, and more recently the paintwork scratched badly enough to need a respray. An escalation which Casper’s family believes could become a personal attack against him next. Casper knew his family would be even more alarmed if they knew about the person who had hacked into his personal bank accounts several times in the past month. Just for fun of it, it seemed, because the money from those accounts was always only gone overnight and then returned the following morning. As one of the top three hackers in the world Casper can’t help but admire someone he considers to be almost as good as he is. Even if their little games are starting to annoy the hell out of him. Persy Jones is a highly trained soldier, having been in the English military and then Special Forces until resigning and joining the private sector, Kingston Security, four months ago. She considers Casper Kingston to be nothing more than a charming rogue who believes a smile will get him whatever he wants or wherever he wishes to go. Being assigned as lead on his team of four bodyguards, Persy is just as determined Casper isn’t going to get away with using that lethal brand of charm on her. Strong wills are about to clash!

Darius takes one look at Mia, and like his brothers and cousin before him, knows that she’s the woman who’s meant to be his. But there’s a darkness inside Darius, one that prevents him from allowing anyone too close to him, including Mia. Pushing her away ceases to be an option the moment Mia is attacked and left for dead. The person responsible for hurting her should start to run, now, because Darius is going to ensure they can never hurt Mia, or anyone else, again.

Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
THE GHOST (Ruthless Regency Dukes 6) is the sixth and final book in USA Today and Amazon International #1 Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer’s, latest Regency series. Six Dukes, bound together by their friendship and loyalty. When one of them is murdered, the five friends remaining are each given the task of investigating one of the five officers suspected of being responsible for the killing. The man had been prisoner for so long he no longer had any idea whether it was night or day. The room where he was being kept was below ground and had no windows. It was bare of all comforts except for a pile of dirty and lice infected straw in one corner and a single blanket to cover himself with during the worst of the cold. He had tried, at first, to keep track of time, but as the days, weeks, months passed, they had all merged together. The monotony was broken only by the haphazard delivery of a plate of the most basic of foods and a jug of water by a surly and silent man whose clothes appeared to be as ragged as his own. The smelly bucket in the corner of the room was removed only once a week. The last thing he remembered, before waking in this hellhole, he had been deeply entrenched in the battle at Waterloo. He recalled being run through with a sword, and then struck on the head. Since then, there had only been this room, the pain as his wound oozed an unpleasant pus before finally healing, near starvation, and the bone-deep cold. At first, he had been sure his friends would find him, and he would be rescued from this living hell. But he no longer held out that hope, knowing they must all believe him to be dead. He had been abandoned, and was now forgotten. Even, it seemed, by the woman he had loved so deeply he would gladly have given his life for her. Had she mourned him? Cried for his loss? Or had she moved on when all hope had been lost? One thing he knew, when he was free, and he was determined he would escape, all who had wronged him would suffer the full measure of his fury.

Book Description
Lily and the Duke is the first book in the new Regency romance series, Regency Spinsters Alliance, by USA Today and International #1 Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer. Lily, and five of her friends all suffered through the previous London Season together. One thing they are now all agreed upon, as they are forced to attend a second Season, is that the gentlemen of the ton are invariably arrogant, conceited, and far too full of themselves and their own comfort to be in the least attentive to even the basic needs of a wife. As such, these six young ladies have formed an alliance, one in which they have agreed none of them will ever marry. Accepting a dare from the arrogantly superior Gabriel Lord, the Duke of St Albans, in which he challenges Lily’s decision by questioning her ability to resist his seduction, is the very last thing Lily should do. Most especially when the duke also declares that the victor shall choose their prize, when the time comes. Because Gabriel Lord has never lost a wager or a dare in his life. Gabriel knows, the moment he sets eyes on Lady Lily Tremayne, that she is meant to be his. But not only is she eighteen years his junior, but he also learns Lily is determined she will never succumb to feeling love or desire for any gentleman in Society. A battle of wills is about to commence!

Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
KINGSTON’S CAPTIVE (Kingston Security 2) is the second book in USA Today and Amazon International #1 Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer’s, Contemporary Romantic Suspense series. Adam is learning the hard way that having feelings for a certain woman doesn’t necessarily mean she’s ever going to return those feelings. Especially if that woman is the beautiful but stubbornly infuriating Cara Ferrari-Smythe. But Adam is only too happy to ignore Cara’s objections to having his presence in her life when he knows she’s once again in danger. When Cara first saw the dark and brooding Adam Kingston again a year ago, at an art exhibition where some of her paintings were being shown, it had felt as if she had been waiting forever for him to come back into her life. That Adam didn‘t feel the same way about her became obvious, when he didn’t so much as speak one word to her that night before leaving, let alone acknowledge the two of them had ever met before. Then a week later Cara saw him again, walking past her London home. And again a few days later, outside a restaurant, where she was having lunch with friends. She saw him again, and again, until Cara knew the ‘coincidence’ of them suddenly being in the same place at the same time wasn’t coincidence at all but was being deliberately engineered by Adam Kingston. Why he was doing it, Cara still had no idea. Asking him for help when it seems she’s once again in danger is definitely not on her list of things to do. Adam doesn’t agree, and Cara soon discovers he’s one very stubborn and determined man.
