For the purpose of this anthology, the following ratings apply:
One Kiss-Stories will either not have consummated love scenes, or subtly sexy undetailed scenes behind a closed bedroom door. You’re not invited inside. Sorry.
Two Kisses-Stories are more sensual than sweet with some love scenes that are more sensual than graphic. You might blush, but you won’t need a fan.
Three Kisses-Stories are sexier and bolder with more explicit love scenes and the language used to describe them may be more graphic. A fan and a cool beverage might be in order, but you won’t experience everything. *Wink*
Four Kisses–Stories have frequent, graphic love scenes with explicit language. Be prepared to blush and stand in front of the air conditioner, a tall, iced drink in hand. Clothing is optional.
Five Kisses–Stories have frequent graphic, descriptive love scenes and/or contain subject matter some readers may find objectionable. Blushing guaranteed, and you might learn a thing or two or three. But never fear, we won’t tattle if you don’t.

He must woo his wife to awaken her past or lose her to a pirate forever.
Kidnapped on a trip to London, Lady Eleanor Whitemore awakes in the hold of a ship with no memory of her past or of her perfect marriage to Lord James Haddington III, Earl of Windhaven. All she knows is that a fierce and stunningly handsome pirate is yelling about women being bad luck on a voyage. Adrift at sea in both body and mind, she finds herself falling in love with the pirate captain, whose flashing eyes and muscular frame leave her breathless.
Lord James resisted the shackles of marriage until he met Eleanor. Her beauty and charms captured his heart, and now that she's disappeared, he vows he will find her or die trying. His search becomes a chase to the Americas, a trip that could destroy him as Eleanor's bonds with a pirate captain tighten. Can James provoke her memory and win her love, or will the pirate steal her heart forever...

It Takes a Hero by Ella Quinn
Even though their families demand that the youngest son of a duke, Lord Quartus Trevor, and the Duchess of Wharton remain apart, but their hearts don’t seem able to listen.
For the former Anna Calder of Tortola, discovering she is the Duchess of Wharton is a shock, but being forced to find a husband is a greater one. To make matters worse, the only gentleman who interests her is the devastatingly handsome rogue she has been warned against. As inappropriate as he is, she can’t stop thinking about the way his blue eyes warm her or cut of his coat over his broad shoulders…
Upon accepting his brother’s invitation to spend the Season in London, Lord Quartus Trevor quickly discovers that being the penniless younger son of a duke is not much of a recommendation to the beguiling Duchess of Wharton. It’s ridiculous to hope her attentions are serious, but where she’s concerned, his hope refuses to be swayed.

This Love Of Mine: Prologue
England 1810
James Haddington III, Earl of Windhaven, basked in the sunlight that poured through the church’s windows, a light that blazed a trail from the alter where he stood down the aisle to the young lady walking towards him. He couldn’t help but smile at the vision before him. Not many bachelors welcomed the loss of their freedom, mostly due to marriages contrived of family status and advancement via marital ties, but for him, he’d found the perfect match. This marriage was based on love and, for that, he relished in the morning wedding ritual, dreaming of celebrating with his lovely bride as soon as he could steal her away from the guests at their wedding breakfast.
For he was in love with the lady who glided ever closer to him. Eleanor Whitmore stole his breath away. She was beauty and poise wrapped into one delectable package. Even now she was breathtaking, dressed in a pink and cream fashionable high-waist gown, lace lining her décolleté. Her spun sable hair was piled on her head in a mound of curls with a couple of strands coiling down her neckline, as if whispering to him to touch them. Her sapphire blue eyes danced and she had a faint smile on her rosy lips. A rush of heat spiraled down his spine to a fire in his loins, tightening his insides.
