Tempting Torment — Jo Goodman

SINFUL PLEASURES
It seemed like a good idea. The handsome American was dying anyway. Why not marry him and flee England in the guise of Noah McClellan's widow? But Jessa Winter hadn't counted on Noah's will to live. Nor on his smouldering desires once they set sail for America. And if she was shocked that he treated her more like a wanton than a wife, her outrage was soon eclipsed by the shimmering pleasure of his kiss and the aching need to be his completely...

SWEET CRIMES
Noah had known many women, but none maddened him more than this mysterious English beauty who had tricked him into matrimony. Behind her angel's face lay the cunning heart of a criminal. He would strip her bare of her secrets, even as he took full advantage of his rights as a husband. She'd pay the price of deceit in his bed, submitting night after night to his demands and surrendering to Tempting Torment.

Note: The 2001 reprint includes Goodman's short story, "Tidewater Promise."
