An omnibus with the stories Thyme and Veronica from author Louisa Trent THYME While traveling through time at the Tower of London, medieval warlord Raven captures frustrated feminist Regina...with surprisingly satisfying results. With a temper to match her flaming hair, an argumentative streak a mile wide, and a curvy, full-figured shape, Regina is a va-va-voom sexpot. A lot of good it does her with men. Frustrated and hurting after a recent breakup with her apathetic boyfriend, she decides to shake up her boring life by vacationing solo in Europe. First stop: the Tower of London. While minding her own business, doing the sightseeing routine, she's stalked, then captured by some man who actually thinks he's a medieval warrior from Norman times. After introducing himself as Lord Raven, he drags her to his castle bedchamber, where he strips her naked and ties her up.

VERONICA Public scandal and private tragedy force sexually curious Veronica Cooper into an unwanted marriage with Talbot Bowdoin, an urbane and isolated gentleman inventor of steam-powered automatons about whom she knows nothing. Talbot insists that it's kept that way. Though the eccentric publisher fell in love with the "free-love" author at first word and would give her the world gladly, he withholds the truth about himself. A voyeur of the first water, a bisexual by experience and a romantic by nature, he is more comfortable with his steam-powered automatons than he is with people, and so he keeps anyone with a beating heart at arm's length. Not Veronica. Her heart pounds...with lust...and she refuses to tolerate her standoffish husband's conjugal neglect. To satisfy his beautiful...and assertive...bride, Talbot touches another human being for the first time in years and allows her the sexual freedom she craves, including dressing in male attire as well as exposing her to steam-powered toys...and the gazes of other men.

Sometimes you can't help falling in love, even when you try to do the opposite...Successful fashion blogger McKenna Bell has spent far too long protecting herself after the way her ex-fiancé left her at the altar for a college chick he met the night of his bachelor party. Loving again, trusting again, well, that's just not in the cards. Especially now that her ex is back in town with his new woman, demanding custody of McKenna's favorite creature in the whole world--her dog. No effing way. McKenna's had enough of him, and she decides to even the score by finding her own hot young thing -- a Trophy Husband. Sure, she's only twenty-seven, but doesn't that make it even more fun -- and infuriating to her ex -- to pursue a younger man? When she declares her intentions on her daily blog, her quest quickly skyrockets in popularity, and that's when Chris enters the picture, and he?s got all the assets. He's handsome, successful, and turns her inside out with a kiss to end all kisses, the kind that makes you feel like a shooting star. But loving again could mean losing again, and it's so much easier to focus on getting even, isn't it? Unless, you just can't help falling in love. Which means McKenna will have to come face to face with what she really wants in life -- protecting her heart from hurt, or letting go of her fears of a new beginning

Against a backdrop of the most fashionable cities in the world, casual flirting turns into an illicit affair, but when Ben?s twisted past is revealed, and the bitter Fiona catches wind of their relationship, their careers and hearts are threatened.
