Together for the first time in one volume, two fan-favorite romance stories from USA Today bestselling author Katherine Garbera and New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Bevarly!
Master of Fortune
If Henry Devonshire wants to inherit his dying father’s empire, he has to make Everest Records a huge success. And the one person who can help him, Astrid Taylor, is also the only woman he desires. Mixing business with pleasure is never wise, but this time, it could literally cost Henry a fortune.
The Temptation of Rory Monahan
Professor Rory Monahan has no explanation for his new reaction to librarian Miriam Thornbury. Something is suddenly different about her. He’s never noticed that her legs are so long…or her lips quite so full. Why, it’s as if the sultry but sensible Miss Thornbury is trying to seduce him! Well, two can play at this game.

Acknowledgments
I’d like to thank my good friend Kenny Howes for answering my questions about the music industry; Kenny has been rocking out for as long as I’ve known him. Any mistakes in this book are my own.
I’d also like to thank Krista Stroever for all of her hard work on editing this manuscript. Also a quick shout-out to my friends who always have my back: Nancy and Mary Louise—you guys rock!
Prologue
“Why are we here?” Henry Devonshire asked. He sat in the boardroom of the Everest Group in downtown London. A nice view of the Thames was visible through the plate-glass windows.
“Malcolm has prepared a message for you.”
“Why should we listen to this?” Henry faced the lawyer across the polished boardroom table.
“I think you’ll find your father’s—”
“Malcolm. Don’t call him my father.”
The Everest Group had always been Malcolm Devonshire’s life. Of course, now that he’d turned seventy, it was no surprise that the old man had gotten in touch with him and his half brothers. He probably wanted to make sure that his life’s work didn’t end with his own death.
Geoff was the eldest of the three of them. Henry couldn’t really say much about the other men. He didn’t know either of his half brothers any better than he did their biological father. Geoff’s very aristocratic English-looking nose betrayed his place in the current royal family.
“Mr. Devonshire is dying,” Edmond Strom said. “He wants the legacy he worked so hard to create to live on in each of you.”
