I will love and honor you all the days of my life… Those were the words Ali Crawford had hoped to recite on her wedding day—just not to a total stranger, and definitely not on a TV reality show. Assured the marriage will be annulled after the show has aired, and as a favor to her best friend and casting director of I Do or I Don’t, Ali reluctantly agrees to take part. But once she reaches the altar, she discovers the groom is her ex, Wade Morgan. Since Ali never stopped loving Wade, marrying him is no hardship. After honeymooning in a Caribbean paradise, they’ll return home to live as man and wife, so Ali has just five short weeks to convince Wade that their sham marriage is real and can last forever. Except there’s just one little issue…Wade doesn’t believe in marriage.

In a debut romance as passionate and sweeping as the British Empire, Meredith Duran paints a powerful picture of an aristocrat torn between two worlds, an heiress who dares to risk everything...and the love born in fire and darkness that nearly destroys them. From exotic sandstone palaces...to the marble halls of London—destiny follows wherever you run. Sick of tragedy, done with rebellion, Emmaline Martin vows to settle quietly into British Indian society. But when the pillars of privilege topple, her fiancé's betrayal leaves Emma no choice. She must turn for help to the one man whom she should not trust, but cannot resist: Julian Sinclair, the dangerous and dazzling heir to the Duke of Auburn. In London, they toast Sinclair with champagne. In India, they call him a traitor. Cynical and impatient with both worlds, Julian has never imagined that the place he might belong is in the embrace of a woman with a reluctant laugh and haunted eyes. But in a time of terrible darkness, he and Emma will discover that love itself can be perilous—and that a single decision can alter one's life forever. A lifetime of grief later, in a cold London spring, Emma and Julian must finally confront the truth: no matter how hard one tries to deny it, some pasts cannot be disowned...and some passions never die.
