About Madeline Hunter
I am a published novelist, a mother and wife, an art historian and a teacher. My first historical romance was published in 2000 and my bibliography shows the list of books since then. My books have been on the bestseller lists of the New York Times, USAToday, and Publishers Weekly (where I have also had three starred reviews.) I have won the RITA award twice and been a finalist seven times. My novels combine strong romances between layered and complex characters with plots that include mysteries or intrigues.

A wickedly wonderful new romance from the New York Times bestselling author of His Wicked Reputation
Most women will give him anything he wants. She is not most women…
As a well-known barrister and the son of a duke, Ives confines his passionate impulses to discreet affairs with worldly mistresses. A twist of fate, however, has him looking for a new lover right when a fascinating woman shows up in his chambers, asking him to help save her father from the gallows. Unfortunately, he has already been asked to serve as the prosecutor in the case, but that only ensures close encounters with the rarity named Padua Belvoir. And every encounter increases his desire to tutor her in pleasure’s wicked ways...
Having always been too tall, too willful, and too smart to appeal to men, Padua Belvoir is shocked when Ives shows interest in her. Knowing his penchant for helping the wrongly accused, she had initially thought he might be her father’s best hope for salvation. Instead, he is her worst adversary—not least because every time he looks at her, she is tempted to give him anything he wants…
Only a desperate mission could bring Leona Montgomery face-to-face with the scoundrel whose dangerous sensuality once sent her fleeing from his arms. But she has under-estimated Christian, Marquess of Easterbrook. As irresistible as ever, his past swathed in mystery, Christian has his own plans for the woman he has waited seven years to claim. Yet once desire reignites, bringing a dangerous secret into the open, Leona will find herself bound to the seductive nobleman in ways she could never have imagined. Seven years have changed nothing: this man can tempt her to ruin with just one touch. With Leona’s reputation and hopes for her family’s salvation in tatters, she must follow the only course left to her…even as each step brings her closer to a shattering truth and a passion she can no longer live without.…
She appeals to his wicked inclinations, but he never expects she might snare his heart....
Suspected of his brother’s murder, Lancelot Hemingford, Duke of Aylesbury, was forced to give up his hell-raising habits in London for the anonymity of quiet country living. So, when an opportunity arises to clear his name in exchange for proposing to the niece of a neighbor, he sees no choice but to accept. Plus, seducing the reluctant maiden will be a most intriguing challenge...
As Marianne Radley is dependent on her uncle, she must accept the Duke's marriage proposal at her family’s request, despite her belief he is irredeemably wicked. But along with marrying him, she intends to sniff out the duke’s unsavory secrets and expose them to the world: a plan that would be flawless were it not for one minor detail—even she, with all her determination, is not immune to the charms of a rakish duke...
He catches her eye across the dining room–a handsome stranger who stands out among the lewd noblemen and bawdy painted women. But their worlds are about to collide in a way Roselyn Longworth could never have imagined. For before the night is out, she will be auctioned off to the highest bidder…and Kyle Bradwell will lead her from one kind of hell to another. Yet from the moment he wins her, Kyle treats Rose with a gentleness she hasn’t known since a family scandal destroyed her reputation. And when she finally learns what is really driving Kyle, it’s too late. For Rose has fallen for the man who knows her most intimate secrets. Now he has stunned her with a proposal of marriage–the first step in a seduction that will demand nothing less than her complete surrender.…
Summer, 1193.
They call him the Devil’s Blade and say that the fires of hell burn in him when he wields his sword.
It might be midsummer when Zander arrives at the tournament, but there is winter in his soul. Battle hardened and war weary, he intends to amass spoils, win the champion’s prize, and find a wealthy wife. Then he discovers that Elinor of York has accompanied her father to the tourney. He desired her as a youth, and soon learns that he still does. But whatever he will ever have of her will have to be seized in secret, before the tournament ends.
Elinor was born a lady but the last years have impoverished her. She now sews for coin, and takes care of her lame, aging father, a knight who blames Zander for his diminished fortunes and health. She should ignore the handsome knight whom she teased when they were young, but his magnetism draws her closer. He is not for her ---- he is her father’s enemy and she has no dowry. Yet he evokes sweet memories and deep emotions and a heart-wrenching dilemma-- Can she keep her father from issuing the challenge that will leave one of the men she loves dead?

Davina MacCallum hat nur einen Wunsch: die schottischen Ländereien zurückzugewinnen, die ihrer Familie von der Krone ungerechterweise entzogen und dem Duke of Brentworth zugesprochen wurden. Zum Glück ist sich Davina sicher, dass sich ein anständiger Mann mit großem Besitz von einem unbedeutenden Anwesen trennen kann. Vor allem, wenn er erfährt, dass Davina es für einen guten Zweck nutzen will. Doch leider hat sie nicht mit dem sturen Duke of Brentworth gerechnet, dem sie trotz allem kaum widerstehen kann.
Eric Marshall, der Duke of Brentworth, ist selbst seinen besten Freunden ein Rätsel. Wegen seiner Verschlossenheit finden ihn vor allem Frauen undurchschaubar und unnahbar – aber auch unwiderstehlich anziehend. Als Davina MacCallum keine Anzeichen zeigt, seinem Charme auch nur ansatzweise zu erliegen, ist er fasziniert. Bis er erfährt, dass sie es auf eins seiner Anwesen abgesehen hat. Schon bald befinden sich die beiden in einem Wettstreit, der keine Kompromisse zulässt …

Die packende Regency Romance für Fans von Loretta Chase

Doch jedes Mal, wenn Clara Cheswick, die wunderschöne Tochter des Erzfeindes seiner Familie, auftaucht, brennt seine Seele vor Verlangen nach ihr.
Clara Cheswick denkt überhaupt nicht daran zu heiraten. Sie will nur eins: ihre Frauenzeitschrift veröffentlichen. Selbst wenn sie an einer Heirat interessiert wäre, würde sie sich niemals auf jemanden wie Adam einlassen. Aber Clara hat ein gutes Gespür für Geschichten und hinter Adams Fassade steckt mehr, als sie denkt. Und wer hätte gedacht, dass das Spiel mit der Gefahr so viel Spaß machen kann?

Com uma reputação manchada e seu retorno à cidade, o Duque precisa encontrar uma esposa com qualidades ímpares e que não se importe em viver em negligente abandono. O que o Duque não espera é que o seu interesse e libido sejam despertados pela única mulher que não pode ter, e que não seria capaz de ignorar.
Clara Cheswick fascina o Duque, mas tudo que ela não precisa neste momento é se casar. Está bem mais interessada em publicar seu jornal feminino — certamente muito melhor do que ser esposa de um homem com sede de vingança.
No entanto, curiosa por uma história, Clara pensa se o desejo do Duque por justiça é sincero — junto com sua intenção incrivelmente irritante de ser seu marido.
Se sua fraca reação ao beijo dele é alguma indicação, apaixonar-se por Adam claramente tem um preço.
Mas quem diria que cortejar o perigo poderia ser tão divertido?
"Madeline Hunter tem uma capacidade excepcional de conduzir o leitor por romances ardentes que falam direto ao corpo, à mente e ao coração." – Romantic Times
Leona Montgomery foi criada na China. Com pai inglês e mãe portuguesa, aprendeu desde cedo a se adaptar aos costumes de outras terras e adquiriu uma cultura e uma sofisticação incomuns às mulheres de seu tempo.
Por isso, quando o pai, já viúvo, morreu, deixando os dois filhos em uma situação financeira difícil, Leona assumiu os cuidados do irmão caçula e os negócios da família.
Trabalhando pela recuperação da Montgomery & Tavares, ela viajou por diversos países, negociou com homens rudes e enfrentou piratas. Recém-chegada a Londres, agora espera fechar parcerias comerciais e dar sequência a uma investigação que o pai não pôde concluir.
Mas estar em Londres significa algo mais. Sete anos atrás, Edmund, um naturalista inglês, deixou Macau à noite, depois de um beijo de despedida que Leona nunca esqueceu, e retornou à Inglaterra.
O que Leona não poderia imaginar era que Edmund na verdade é Christian Rothwell, o marquês de Easterbrook, um homem poderoso envolto em mistérios – e que talvez se beneficiasse com o fim das investigações de seu pai. Dividida entre o dever e a tentação, é na cama do marquês que ela fará suas maiores descobertas.
