Two stubborn hearts, one unthinkable scandal.

Matthew Foster expected that a summons to the Lyon’s Den would result in an unusual request. He never thought he’d be protecting the one woman in London he never wanted to see again—Octavia Wilton, Baroness Burridge, the woman who broke his heart.

Tavie Wilton sees the Lyon’s Den as her only option for help in bringing her scheming husband to justice. But now her safety rests in the hands of the one man in London who would never take her side—Matthew Foster, the man she was forced to leave behind.

Tavie is convinced she’s uncovered treason, but Matthew thinks it’s something much more sinister. Either way, he’s not letting her out of his sight. Working to find the answers they need helps heal the wounds from their past. But the longer they’re on the lam, the more they realize…letting each other go isn’t an option. Not this time.

Not without a fight.

A lady in a no-win situation…

Last Season, Annabel Pearce was a member of the ton. This Season, she’s a member of the staff. Serving as the chaperone for the daughter of Sir Reginald Spencer keeps her on the edge of the life she used to have. She’s grown accustomed to being ignored, but then Sir Reginald orders her to attend the Marquess of Ramsbury’s house party—and spy on the man. If she doesn’t, he’ll have her father tossed into debtors’ prison.

A marquess who doesn’t play by the rules…

Jasper Warren, the new Marquess of Ramsbury, is trying to solve the murder of a friend and find the thief stealing money from the treasury. It that wasn’t enough, he’s got a house full of people to entertain. He’s using a house party, and his rakehell reputation, as the perfect opportunity to gather information. His current suspect? Sir Reginald Spencer. The woman in his way? Annabel Pearce.

An inescapable dilemma…

When Annabel’s mission gets her caught in Jasper’s arms, he’s forced to do the honorable thing – marry the young lady who’s an agent for his greatest enemy. And while being closer to her target should make her mission easier, Annabel is beginning to doubt where her loyalties should lie.

Richard Ferrand arrives in Thetford to visit his family and to seek advice on a recent inheritance. He’s expecting it to be a brief visit. His former brother-in-law has a new family, and Richard is eager to return to his familiar bachelor businessman routine. That all changes when he comes to the rescue of a young lady with plans of her own.

Amelia Chitester has spent her life being the perfect society Miss—at least when people are watching. When they’re not, she’s busy creating the county’s best whiskey. That all changes when her gravely ill father insists she marry so that she will have a protector after he dies.

When Richard helps Amelia avoid a persistent suitor, she sees an answer to several of her problems.He needs a British distributor for his newly acquired French wine, and she needs a fake fiancé to take her off the marriage market. Richard thinks she’s daft—irresistibly beautiful, totally disarming, and completely daft–but he agrees to help because he admires her commitment to her family and her home.

As they work to fool their families and the entire village, it grows difficult to live out their lie. Amelia didn’t figure on the soft side of her convenient rake, and Richard wasn’t prepared for the stubborn charm of his fake conquest.

Lord Oliver Hawkins left England six years ago, swearing off titles and expectations and vowing to send for Thea Fowler, the woman he loved. After Thea betrayed him the moment he left, Oliver made a life and a fortune in Canada. Now a widower, he’s returned to claim a title he never wanted and preserve his son’s inheritance. But he’ll do it his way while avoiding the woman who broke his heart.

Innkeeper Thea Smith has spent the last six years telling more lies than she’d ever thought possible, all to hide the consequences after Lord Oliver Hawkins, the man she loved, left her with empty promises. Finally safe and respected, she’ll do whatever it takes to protect what’s hers. That includes staying clear of the man who abandoned her.

However, in their country village it’s as impossible to ignore each other as it is to overlook their history. As they work to restore the fortunes of the village, Oliver and Thea uncover devastating betrayals and heartaches that endanger everything they hold dear.

A Poetic Season

The London Season of 1815 is shaping up to be like no other.

A mysterious poet has turned the heads of all the young women on the marriage mart. While they’re not outright refusing to be matched, they’re insisting on romance instead of practicality. The young men believe unmasking the poet will restore the status quo. There are bets on the books in every gentlemen’s club.

Rory Bolding, the new Earl of Althorne, isn’t in the market for a wife, but he’s always in the mood for a wager. He’s also thinking he could use the distraction as a way to dodge his mother and the title-hungry women he meets in every ballroom.

Evie Beckett, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Faversham, has been on the shelf since her disastrous come-out four years earlier. It hadn’t been her fault–not really. How could any woman commit to a life as a line on a balance sheet? And how can a man propose without knowing the most basic things about his bride–like her talent for poetry?

When Rory uncovers Evie’s secret, he’s intrigued by the young woman whom everyone, including her own family, has dismissed. He also reads her verse and sees a side of the Season, and a heart, he didn’t expect. As he draws closer to her, he’s torn between unmasking her and keeping her for himself.

Evie never expected to be swept off her feet, but when the Earl of Althorne proposes, she accepts despite her father’s disapproval. The couple hatches a plan to elope and then hide their marriage until Rory can conclude his business and leave for the country. However, when Evie learns Rory courted her over a wager, he fights for the wife, and the life, he never expected to win.
