An insatiable rake falls for an eccentric genius. Too bad she’s his innocent bride, and he has vowed never to touch her. Harriet “Harry” Lovelock lives a life of the mind, and she knows she can prove a theorem that has baffled male mathematicians for two centuries. But her stepmother wants her married and the swirl of the Season saps Harry’s energy and distracts her from her work. She has to put an end to the tedium of balls. Now. Full stop. Thomas Drake, the Earl Drake, devotes himself to the pleasures of the flesh, even as he wrestles with his own demons and intractable problems. He needs to marry wealth, but could he ever be satisfied by just one woman? She can spend all her time on her proof. He can have any woman he wants, except her. Their marriage of convenience could prove to be the perfect partnership—as long as love never enters the equation.

Her father’s best friend is the man-of-her-dreams. Lady Henrietta Stafford can’t remember a time when she wasn’t fascinated by the tall, dark, melancholy Mr. Oliver Hart­well. But she knows she is meant for some other, far less compelling man. Her father’s friend would never be interested in her. She’s too young. She’s not beautiful or clever. And, of course, he’s already married. A widower twice over, Oliver Hart­well has lived a life marked by failures—his boyhood-dream-turned-hellish-nightmare, his tragic marriages, the utter botch he is making of fatherhood. In truth, he has only ever found happiness in the home of his friend, the Duke of Bex­ton. But now that his friend’s oldest daughter has grown into a gorgeous, voluptuous woman, Oliver seems doomed to ruin his chances for love and affection, just as he has ruined everything else. When ruination is the first step towards redemption . . . Voluptuous is a stand-alone, slow-burn, steamy, age-gap Regency romance novella and part of the Curves & Cravats collaboration and The Bed Me Books series.

A desperate Scottish countess seeks lovemaking lessons from a gorgeous rogue. He can’t stand her fierce resistance to his charms. She can’t stand his dazzling good looks. But why bother standing when they’d both prefer to lie down on a bed together? Especially since neither has any intention of falling in love. Captain Jack Pike leads a blissfully carefree existence as London’s richest and most notorious rake. Becoming the Duke of Dun­more would ruin his fun. He doesn’t even know where Dun­more is—Scotland, maybe? To add insult to injury, the savage Countess of Kin­mar­loch refuses to swoon for him. But why should he care? Jack only beds women married to other men, after all, and there’s not a man in the British Empire brave enough to wed the feral countess. A countess in her own right, Helen Boyd must marry the new Duke of Dun­more to save the people of Kin­mar­loch from starvation. If only the troublesome Jack Pike would go away and stop torturing her with his handsome face, perfect male body, and shameless flirtation. On the other hand, Jack might be just the man to teach the woefully inexperienced Helen a thing or two about seducing the duke and luring him to the altar. And as part of her training, there would be the added advantage that she would get to bed the most beautiful man she’s ever seen. Friction leads to fire leads to forever-after in Bed Me, Duke, the first book in the steamy Regency romance series The Bed Me Books from author Felicity Niven.
