Thirst

THIRST: Two Tales of Trouble in Petticoats Sharp heroines, mysterious heroes, and romance with more wit than a drawing room full of gossips...THIRST serves up two stories guaranteed to leave you parched for more. The Earl's Acquired Bride Hazel Freya brought a broom to her betrothal because someone has to clean up this mess. Spectacle-wearing and sharp-tongued, she'd rather battle dust bunnies than eligible bachelors. But when she discovers she's contractually bound to marry a brooding Earl with storm-cloud eyes and an inconvenient talent for disrupting her plans, suddenly scrubbing floors seems like the easy job. A strong-willed woman meets her match in a man she should probably poison...if only he wasn't so maddeningly attractive. The Duke's Secret Esmeralda Costa had three simple rules: scrub floors, avoid scandal, don't fall for the Duke. Two out of three isn't bad, right? When childhood friendship collides with dangerously handsome nobility, one maid's carefully constructed world crumbles faster than week-old biscuits. In a house full of scheming aristocrats and entirely too much lace, hearts and sanity hang by threads thinner than silk stockings. Historical romance with bite, longing, and enough trouble to flood a marble-floored estate. Fair Warning: THIRST might leave you literally thirsty; for water, wine, or straight whiskey, depending on your tolerance for swooning.
