Rakes & Rebels: The St. Briac Family

He was impossible! Yet utterly irresistible... Renowned as a bold corsair and seducer of women, Justin St. Briac has spent the last decade as a married man. He adores his wife, Mouette, but as he ages, he chafes against the constraints of domestication and longs for another reckless adventure on the high seas. Mouette Raveneau's life among the London ton was in tatters when she fled to Cornwall and married Justin. Now, years later, she has an opportunity to return to society and repair her broken reputation. For the sake of her adult son, Charles, she agrees...but what of her untamable pirate husband? If the volatile Justin does accompany Mouette to London, she fears he will prove incapable of conforming to the haut ton's rigid code of conduct. And when Mouette receives assistance from a caring, respectable nobleman, Justin burns to challenge his rival to a duel to the death. As marriage becomes the most reckless adventure of all, will these two lovers dare to join forces...or turn their backs and walk away for good? Rakes & Rebels: The Raveneau Family:

A lost rogue.... Dashing naturalist Anthony St. Briac sailed off on a voyage with university friend Charles Darwin to discover the wonders of the world. In the Galápagos Islands, Anthony vanished and is presumed dead. The only person who could have witnessed the mysterious accident claims to have seen nothing…. A noble lady on the run.... Radiantly independent Frederica Redfield was tempted to indulge in romance with just one man, but Anthony St. Briac has gone missing halfway across the world. Now five-and-twenty, Freddie aspires to do scientific research. When her debt-ridden father coerces her to wed an aged, wealthy baron, she plots to escape and assume a bold new identity. A treasure-filled library.... In disguise as a male professor, Freddie takes a position in Anthony St. Briac's empty Mayfair home, cataloguing the rare fossils sent home during his five-year voyage with Darwin. When, late one night, a threatening yet magnetic stranger appears in the library, Frederica is stunned to discover that her secret, lost love is very much alive, and all her careful plans are in wild disarray. As Anthony and Freddie join forces, facing peril to solve the mystery behind his near-fatal accident, passion flares white-hot. Yet can these fiercely independent lovers dare to risk their very hearts and discover the treasure of lasting love?

Instead, she bravely fights to save innocent birds from feather thieves who would kill them to decorate fashionable women's hats. Escaping from his past Brooding, rakish ornithologist Benedict Hawke travels the world in search of new species of birds... and the farther that takes him from England and his unforgivable father, the better. But Pa's sudden illness forces Benedict to abandon a dream expedition and return to Cornwall. When feather hunters invade the cliffs near his cottage, Benedict clashes with Camille, a fiery crusader for the beleaguered gulls called kittiwakes.
