What happens when the most eligible bachelor in England mistakes a lady for a servant? Mayhem, of course. And Lady Evelyn dislikes anything that draws attention to herself. Which is why she’s hiding in the kitchen when the most distinguished and available guest arrives, The Duke of Wingate. It’s not as though she has a chance no matter how many match making schemes her mother and his aunt can cook up. Why would one of the most powerful men in England want her? He’s too rough for someone as delicate as her… As a duke, he’ll have to marry and make an heir. There’s no question about that. But he’s little patience for games and even less for courting. He’s busy and besides, he’ll not allow a few scheming biddies to dictate his future. Which is why he sneaks into the kitchen of his aunt’s house rather than entering through the front door. He’ll show them… But his attempts to foil their plans send him crashing, literally, into Lady Evelyn. Yes, she’s beautiful, and sweet, and gentle, and completely wrong for him. Isn’t she? Definitely. Possibly… perhaps a kiss will help him decide.

He needs a bride quickly… Lord Rangeley is on a mission. Secure a wealthy bride to save his earldom. He’s a handsome, former rake. Convincing one bluestocking, Lady Matilda, to be his bride should be easy enough. But the problems begin almost immediately. The worst one? He might have accidentally fallen in love with her younger sister… Even she knows to resist a rogue in need… Millie’s knees go weak the first time she sees the handsome earl despite knowing he’s completely wrong for her. Her mother has grand plans for Millie’s future and they don’t involve an impoverished earl. Not to mention, he’s here to court her older sister. Now if she can only keep her heart in check long enough to see her beloved sister happily wed, she will have done her duty to everyone else. But that leaves one question. When she’s done making the rest of her family happy, where will that leave her?

She’ll do anything to avoid marriage…anything… Even climb from a second story balcony and onto the top of a trellis. All right. Perhaps that was a bit too far, especially considering Lady Matilda winds up stuck. But why does it have to be him that rescues her? Her brother’s best friend the Baron Greenburg has always disapproved of her behavior. This is just one more example of how imperfect she truly is. He just wants a simple life… And Lady Matilda is anything but simple. Tillie brims over with life, love, and intelligence. In fact, she’s been making a fool of him since childhood. But this time around, it’s her who looks silly and him that manages the dashing rescue. And when he holds her in his arms… Is it possible that their many battles were a prelude to romance?

Lady Juliette is in need of a hero. Which is odd for her because she’s spent her life as first an independent bluestocking and then defiantly chose spinsterhood over marriage. But since striking out on her own she’s been…lost. She can’t go back to her old life and the path forward that had seemed so clear before had become as muddled and grey as the fog that rolls in off the ocean where she conducts her research. Which way should she go? But just when she’s at her darkest a ray of light appears in the form of Mr. Jonathon Richmond. A boat owner, he takes her out to sea where she can finally complete the work she needs. It all seems simple enough, as does the attraction building between her and the fisherman. But he’s far more than he appears and his real identity just might break the tender bond developing between them. Is he the answer to her prayer or the shortest way to a broken heart?

She doesn’t want love or romance… What Lady Anna Summers wants more than anything is to be this season's most successful debutante. But when Lord Smith steps into her path, he's no one that her family would wish for her to wed and everything her heart cries out for. Will she follow her heart or allow her mother to dictate her future?
