At the Bride Hunt Ball by Olivia Parker

To Snare a Bride . . .

To Gabriel Devine, Duke of Wolverest, the bonds of marriage are nothing more than shackles. But if he's to remain a lifelong bachelor, that leaves only his younger brother to carry on the family name. Inviting the ton's most eligible ladies to an elegant ball, Gabriel is certain any one of them would be all too eager to become the next duchess and provide an heir--leaving Gabriel to continue his ecstatic pursuit of pleasure.

To Catch a Rogue . . .

Her social-climbing stepmother would give anything to have Madelyn Haywood betrothed to a future duke. But Madelyn believes the brothers Devine to be nothing more than heartless rogues--especially Gabriel, whose rakish reputation precedes him. He is nothing more than a slave to passion, and she will not be conquered by his caresses­--and yet his wicked ways tempt her so . . .

Olivia Parker wrote her first romance with a huge red marker when she was eight years old. Reading it pained one's eyes, but it did have a tortured hero. Since then, she's focused on honing her skills (now with pencils) and dividing her time between her passions for writing, reading, and resting with her family. Her present residence is in northern Ohio, where she lives with her husband, three children, a border collie, and a cockatiel who consumes an alarming quantity of popcorn.
