Feuding families, two lovers, one choice, wife or mistress.The disreputable Earl of Delmore, tossed out on his ear by his latest mistress, has decided to rusticate. During his first day of fishing, he catches the vicar's step-daughter, Miss Anna Winters on his hook . . . in more ways than one.Despite knowing his family despises hers because of her wretched father's complicity in a plot to kill the king, Anna can't resist the lure of the handsome Earl. In no way acceptable as his wife, she offers to be his mistress.Although dangerously tempted, the dastardly rake refuses her offer. Better to have loved and lost than never to have ruined a fascinating woman.

Two unsuspecting lovers stumble upon the blueprint for love . . .   Calliope Allbrook takes a job in lovely, sunny Adelaide, Australia, hoping to lose herself in her work as a balm for her broken heart. And if it weren’t for the handsome hunk renovating the house next door, Calli would never even have looked up from the garden she is designing for her latest client. But rugged Kellen Dee is just the cure the beautiful heiress needs. After all, he has no idea who she is, so he certainly won’t see her as a meal ticket. Then there’s the fact that Kell’s deliciously sexy—and incredibly good with his hands . . .   From the moment Kell takes her in his arms, he knows Calli is more than just a fling. Then the blue collar bachelor learns he’s not sharing his bed with just any woman, but the wealthy daughter of the man who could make Kell’s construction business a success—and Kell the kind of well-heeled man worthy of Calli’s love. But he’ll have to be careful his ambitions don’t trip up his heart . . .

Some designs are timeless . . . They grew up together yet worlds apart. But a wealthy young man and a classy young woman find that some bonds can''t be broken . . . The only thing Marigold Reynolds and billionaire Hagen Allbrook ever had in common was their attraction. Marigold made sure that never went anywhere by cutting ties with him six years ago. Now, however, she needs a job-and Hagen''s design assistant desperately needs someone to fill in for her at his family''s construction firm. Trusting that time has dimmed the electricity between them, Marigold accepts. But as she undertakes his challenging renovation of her own ancestors'' home, it''s soon clear she''s mistaken. A year after his wife''s death, Hagen is coming to terms with the past. He''s as drawn to Marigold as ever, but as they finally cross long-held boundaries, a misunderstanding, and Marigold''s belief that she can never measure up to his perfect wife, threatens to tear them apart once more. Hagen''s only chance of winning her back is to reveal the truth about his marriage. And perhaps then Marigold will reveal a heartfelt secret of her own . . . "Taylor crafts a believable opposites-attract romance. . . . With a South Australia setting, the book''s realistic Aussie dialog will transport readers to this distant locale while making Sets Appeal a fun, lighthearted departure from standard romance fare." -Library Journal
