Two Turtledoves

He is not happy about the prospect, but he is nothing if not
devoted to duty.
Anastasia Trent has been in love with the Duke of Paisley
since she was seven years old and has spent her life pining for him,
fantasizing about the moment they would see each other again. But when he makes
it clear that her imaginings are in vain, her disappointment drives her into
the arms of a dangerous man.
It is up to Baldwyn to rescue her once again, to save her
from herself, and to find perhaps, along the way, exactly what his own heart
was looking for.

The Devil Duke Takes a Bride

But his aunt, bless her heart, thinks she's dying, and
believes her nephew’s behavior is the only thing standing in the way between
her entrance to heaven or hell. So she very lovingly and selflessly sets him
up. With his childhood nemesis.
A young woman who, though she claims it was an accident, has
nearly killed him thrice through her lack of grace and manners. It matters not
that the minute he sets eyes on her at the Christmas ball, his blood boils with
lust. He refuses to allow himself to fall prey to his aunt’s ministrations.
That is, until he is compromised and stuck in an engagement
to a girl who claims she'd rather jump from a moving carriage than marry him.
Funny thing that, for the very minute she says no, he finds his heart very much
wants to say yes. When she doesn't leap at the chance to marry him, he sets
about to not only prove that he's worthy of her favor, but also worthy of her
heart.
