Unwanted Affairs — Patricia Watters

A BOXED SET OF FIVE FULL-LENGTH HISTORICAL ROMANCES…

COME BE MY LOVE
Every man in her life rejected her. The only woman he ever loved betrayed him. Can these two put their pasts behind and find love? Not if Governor Jon Cromwell has his way. When Sarah Ashley arrives in Victoria, B.C. to open a mercantile for the manufacture of bloomer costumes she turns his colony topsy turvy and Jon can't decide whether to seduce the stunning suffragette into sweet submission or send her away to preserve his colony. But Sarah didn't liquidate her savings and sail all the way to Victoria to have her dreams dashed. She will establish her business despite Jon's unfairly imposed obstacles... and a longing heart that tempts her to surrender her principles for one night of passion with the insufferably-handsome rogue.

PERILOUS PLEASURES
People ask, how do you tame a beast? But I ask, how do you tame king of the beasts? Big cat tamer, Stefan Janacek, has wandered the world performing at the most expensive venues. As the new feature act at Porter Brothers Extravaganza, his death defying performances enthrall his audience. But even the master of beasts can't escape the pull of love and passion of a woman who was meant for him. And no matter how hard she tries, Joanna Livingston can't ignore the message in those deep green eyes whenever he's near. And that hard body, oh my. But can she tame the beast residing in his heart and come to know a love she'd only dreamed?

COLBY'S CHILD
Jenny's a widow and new mother who needs protection. Jason's a man with a dark past, a quick hand on the draw, and a soft spot for Jenny's child. A marriage of convenience is the means of keeping Jenny and her daughter safe in a town populated by gold miners, dance hall girls, and scurrilous men, until her gold mine is producing and she can return east. But soon after Jenny marries Jason, she finds herself falling in love with a man whose dark past is quickly catching up with him, the very man who might have killed her husband.

MISS PHIPPS AND THE CATTLE BARON
When Priscilla Phipps offers four mail-order brides jobs as a way out of their unwanted marriages, she sets up a firestorm, especially when Adam Whittington learns that one of those brides was to be his. The Phipps woman was also stirring up a cauldron of controversy with her rabble-rousing newspaper. What Adam doesn't count on is falling in love with the redheaded firebrand who's alienating every cattleman in the area.

TWILIGHT OF MEMORY
She's the mystery debutante of the season who arrived on the London scene as if from out of nowhere. But Lord Damon Ravencroft knows her dark secret. Three years before she stole from him a rare and valuable opal once belonging to Empress Josephine and he intends to be compensated for its loss, which set him back years in his quest to prove his innocence in a crime he didn't commit. The sizable dowry that comes with Lady Elizabeth Sheffield's hand in marriage is a start. It's also his price to keep her secret from all of London.

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR ABOUT THE LEVEL OF SENSUALITY: I invite you to step into my world where you'll meet courageous men with endearing flaws, and the gutsy women who capture their hearts, women these unsuspecting males would lay down their lives for. If you're looking for a hot steamy read, you'll find instead sexy stories in a non-graphic way. My goal is to create heartwarming, action-packed romances about the power of love to triumph over adversity and the joy that comes with the gift of hope.
