Praise for NEVER MIX SIN WITH PLEASURE A thief and a libertine fall in love on a bed of lies in Miller's passionate, intoxicating fifth Infamous Lords Victorian romance. Olivia Michaels grew up in an orphanage and now uses the access granted by her position as paid companion to elderly Lady Winton to steal from philandering nobles and donate to the orphanages housing their unclaimed children. When Olivia accidentally stumbles into the carriage of notorious rake Lord Anthony Trent, Lady Winton fires her for the perceived indiscretion. Feeling responsible, Anthony offers Olivia a position as temporary companion to his cantankerous grandmother. And when he discovers she's a whiz with numbers-a skill he's always struggled with-he recruits her to assist him with his ledgers as well, hoping to conceal his dyscalculia and preserve his family's reputation. They grow closer, often celebrating the day's accomplishments with nights out. Anthony makes Olivia feel valued, while she fuels his ambition with her unwavering faith in his abilities. Though both are keeping secrets, their honest mutual support irrevocably bonds them even as they wrestle with how truthful they can be with one another. Justice, deception, and loyalty form the core of this entrancing affair. -Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW on Never Mix Sin With Pleasure Praise for NEVER CONSPIRE WITH A SINFUL BARON "...smooth talking Elliot's secret heart of gold is sure to make romance fans swoon." -Publishers Weekly "...a charming entry featuring a surprisingly sweet hero engaging in a romantic rivalry to win a most worthy heroine. -Library Journal Praise for NEVER DECEIVE A VISCOUNT "A delightful romance filled with period ambiance." -Publishers Weekly "Well worth the wait." -Kirkus Reviews "Richly written...will charm readers." -Booklist Praise for NEVER DARE A WICKED EARL "...a highly enjoyable read, packed with danger and intrigue, snappy banter, sexy times, Secret Pain and Past Heartaches and a happy-ever-after that's exactly what I wanted." -NPR "This first novel will surely have readers looking forward to the second in the series." -Bookpage "Miller debuts with a highly enjoyable start to her Infamous Lords series that beautifully combines humor and poignancy within a battle of wills and wiles." -RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars
