BOOK #9
Start with Love Only Once. After her mother dies, vivacious Katey Tyler flees her dull Connecticut town for Europe, hoping to finally meet her British relatives and experience a life-changing adventure. She has no idea just how far her travels will take her--especially when she stumbles upon a high-stakes kidnapping. When Sir Anthony Malory's young daughter is kidnapped from London's Hyde Park, the ransom note is accidentally sent to the home of his brother, James, and is intercepted by houseguest Boyd Anderson. The notoriously hot-headed American sea captain joins Anthony in the search for the missing girl, hardly expecting that his pursuit will have him cross paths with the exquisite Katey Tyler, recently a passenger on his ship.

Little does Katey realize that in having caught the attention of Boyd Anderson--and in meeting up with the Malorys--she's about to experience more excitement than the typical young lady encounters on a grand tour. A multitude of surprises await her, from the startling truth about her mother's early life to the lengths a man will go to win the affections of a lady who has every reason to despise him--but who can't resist the seductive, impassioned love he has to offer her.
