Lady Rebecca, a Duke’s daughter, is attracted to a man snubbed by society who could ruin her reputation. But she believes in him. Is that a mistake?
The Duke of Landon has finally had to leave his estate to launch his three eldest daughters in London society. Having been something of a distant father, he finds the prospect rather difficult, until a chance meeting with one Lady Hayward. Forming an alliance, he leaves them in Lady Hayward’s care.
Rebecca, the eldest of the Duke’s daughters, is determined to make a suitable match this Season. Looking for a practical arrangement rather than affection, she is surprised when Lady Hayward steers her away from the one gentleman she cannot seem to stop thinking about.
Lord Jeffery Richmond spurned the advances of a lady of the ton and now has a poor reputation that is entirely unjustified. How can he save himself from ruin in society? And how can he pursue a relationship with the daughter of a Duke while in such a situation!
Can he convince her that he is not the man society believes him to be? Or will she turn away from him entirely, leaving him heartbroken and alone?

Finding herself in a delicate condition, she turns to Lady Celia Kendal for help. The last thing she expects Celia to do is share her secret with Nathaniel.
Nathaniel may be a rogue, but he is not without honor. When he discovers what he has done, he sets out to make an honorable woman of Cordelia. The last thing he expects is for her to run. Still, he is resolved to marry her at any cost—and marry her, he will.
Cordelia and Nathaniel cannot escape the consequences of their passion, but neither can they agree on a path forward. They engage in a battle of will and wit as they discover what truly matters. But knowing and having are two different things.
In this Regency Romance inspired by Pretty Woman, a case of mistaken identity lands a new harlot into a marriage of convenience with a handsome viscount.
Miss Amelia Browning once dreamed of a future where her prince would whisk her away. But when her name becomes embroiled in scandal, she soon finds herself destitute and turns to the oldest profession known to man. Mercifully, Amelia’s new career ends before it even has a chance to begin, as on her first working night she meets the man who will change her life forever. Michael, as handsome as the prince of her dreams yet far more fearsome, makes her an offer she can’t refuse.
Money can buy him anything, even the bride he needs on short notice…
Michael, Viscount of Trentworth, needs a bride and fast, in order to gain membership into a group of prominent men known as the Council. Having hired a locator to find a woman who will fit the bill, Michael finds himself instantly smitten with the raven-haired beauty, Amelia. But her strong will and quick tongue has his patience wearing thin…
The term is for 30 days. Then the marriage will be annulled…
With the ink still wet on the marriage contract, Amelia quickly realizes that Michael’s offer was meant for another woman. Now, as the new Lady Trentworth, for thirty days she must play the doting wife and will be paid handsomely for her service. Dresses, jewelry, staff, it’s all a far cry from where she was, so Amelia decides to keep her true identity secret…
As the clock draws closer to midnight, and with new found feelings for Amelia, Michael reconsiders annulling the marriage. And for Amelia, she wishes her fairy tale to continue but fears telling the truth might ruin her happily ever after.
He thought he’d reformed. But maybe he was just destined to be a rogue forever…
Inheriting the title of marquess saved Daniel’s life. Literally. Without it, he would’ve remained in London, indulging in all the vices that plagued him. Now, he can finally focus on his responsibilities and become a better man. Letting his lovely and infinitely fascinating new neighbor assume he was a lowly groom was not on his agenda. But sadly, that’s exactly what he did…
Lady Anwen Astoridge loves horses more than people sometimes. Especially after what happened during her last Season. So, when she meets an honest, amusing, and charming groom she actually likes, she’s shocked. If she could, she’d choose him over any of the titled gentlemen in London. Too bad her family would never allow that to happen…
When Daniel’s true identity is revealed, can Anwen forgive his deception? Or will this supposedly reformed rogue be denied a happily ever after with the woman of his dreams?
An unexpected fortune can transform a young woman’s prospects in society, whether she likes it or not.
Miss Lydia Hesketh is a confirmed bluestocking. As she is also tall, bespectacled and has no fortune to speak of, she does not have suitors beating down her door, which is absolutely fine.
Surrounded by good friends, she enjoys her studious life until an unexpected inheritance upends her world. Lydia finds herself with the twin challenge of rebuffing her suddenly attentive suitors and managing a large estate.
As she settles into her new role, she discovers a side to life she did not know existed. Soldiers who have fought bravely at Waterloo have no jobs to go to and are wandering the countryside in search of work and food. No one cares for the returning heroes.
Realising what she wants to do with her life and her fortune, and motivated by the wounded soldier who cannot remember his past, she is determined to create a better future for others.
While Lydia is set on rebuilding these heroes’ lives, it’s just possible she might transform her own!
She’ll do things her way, or not at all…and that includes marriage!
Industrialist Jade Thacker is used to being in control of her own life. Which is why it’s damned galling to learn her well-meaning guardian plans to marry her off before she comes into full control of her inheritance! And a betrothal is one thing, but what’s this nonsense about marriage-by-proxy? Is she married, or isn’t she?
Well, there’s one thing she can still control: her virginity. Which is why she visited London’s most infamous male courtesan to rid herself of that pesky detail. But now, staring (horrified) up at the gorgeous man her possible-husband turned out to be, she’s reconsidering the whole scheme.
Loving women is one of the few things he’s good at…but he can’t forget her!
Life was going just fine—women, wine, more women—until Cameron MacKay’s father sent him that blasted letter. He loves the dear old coot, of course, but marriage? Especially a marriage-by-proxy? Please, this isn’t the fourteenth century! But when he opens the door to see the (horrified) expression on the face of his most recent client, Cam admits himself intrigued.
And now the one thing she wants…is him!
Cam knows why Jade doesn’t want to be married, but when a deluge strands them together in his cottage, she decides on a new goal: him. Or maybe it’s just that now she’s tasted the pleasure he can offer her, she wants more. Either way, he’s going to have to be the strong one in this crisis.
Too bad he’ll always be a rake at heart.
She craved adventure…
Lady Rosamunde Stanley just never expected in the form of a kidnapping.
Well, an almost-kidnapping. The dastardly man only went and took the wrong woman!
But she soon discovers the dark, handsome man is not quite the terrible rogue she thinks him to be and she decides to put his experience to use. Can she persuade Russell to help her?
Russell might have kidnapped her, but he has no intention of keeping her. Even if the heat between them is driving him out of his wits and her crazy family makes him long for things a battle-hardened orphan like him should never want.
Their societal divide isn’t the only reason to keep his distance. Rosamunde is a bloody knife-carrying, picklock-wielding madwoman.
A far too appealing madwoman…
