Book Description
Hugh Shardlow, Duke of Martock, is a Duke down on his luck, and determined not to get tangled into any other danger. That's why he's accosting this young woman in the middle of nowhere, France, in the middle of the night. He'd only come to France to drink, gamble, and escape the terrors of England. Even with his father dead and buried, the place held nothing but darkness for him...until his money ran out. Which is why the brightness of this mad Englishwoman, searching the French armies for her supposedly prisoner-of-war brother, is an absolute nonsense. Nice young ladies don't march into French encampments. They don't meander into French inns and accost the locals asking after her brother. And they certainly don't make bargains with strange penniless desperate Englishmen. But Beth Mead has never been one for Society's expectations, nor keeping them. And so a deal is struck: Hugh will help Beth find her missing soldier brother, and she'll pay his passage back to England. Both think they've got the better bargain, but you can't put a price on trust-and as secrets and lies intermingle with hopes and expectations, Beth and Hugh swiftly discover that to protect themselves, they may have to betray the other... This full length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order. Dukes in Danger Don't Judge a Duke By His Cover Strike While the Duke is Hot The Duke is Mightier than the Sword A Duke in Time Saves Nine Every Duke Has His Price Put Your Best Duke Forward Where There's a Duke, There's a Way Curiosity Killed the Duke Play with Dukes, Get Burned The Best Things in Life are Dukes A Duke a Day Keeps the Doctor Away All Good Dukes Come to an End

The brooding, illegitimate son of a duke meets his match in the determined woman hired to transform him into a gentleman from USA Today bestselling author Christi Caldwell—perfect for fans of Bridgerton. Rafe Audley lives to thwart his father, the Duke of Bentley. The ne’er do well who abandoned his children claims he wants to make up for his failures, but Rafe only cares about protecting the people of his mining community and providing for his three siblings, who've been his sole responsibility since childhood. So far, Rafe has turned away the duke's man of affairs, solicitor, and other interlopers, until the clever duke sends the unlikeliest of people to convince Rafe to join English High Society—a bold and intriguing woman. Edwina Dalrymple has never failed a charge. She's quite adept at successfully transforming young women of the gentry and daughters of newly minted lords to take their place in society. Taming a bastard son of a duke will be child's play, plus this job promises to enhance her reputation within the ton. All she has to do is fetch the wayward Rafe and groom him to be presentable to Polite Society. As the tenacious teacher and her domineering, stubborn, refuses-to-be-taught pupil engage in a fiery battle of wills, their chemistry ignites and the true lesson becomes clear: opposites attract and hearts must be heard.

Book Description
From New York Times bestseller, Suzanne Enoch, Brain meets Beauty in this sparkling romantic comedy with a dash of chaos, featuring the worst behaved poodles in Regency London; Bringing Up Baby meet Pride and Prejudice! Michael Bromley, Duke of Woriton, has a passion, but it’s not for chasing ladies or gambling till dawn. No, his far more dangerous pursuit is the science of chemistry. He may be a tad eccentric, but he can navigate a society ballroom, and manage a polite conversation—if he must. He’s certainly capable of taking care of his aunt’s perfectly behaved poodle, Lancelot, while she’s on holiday. Elizabeth “Bitsy” Dockering, third daughter of a viscount, is the Diamond of the London . She is adored by all— including her precious black poodle, Galahad. To everyone else, however, Galahad is a terror, especially to Bitsy’s most insistent beau. A particular victim of Galahad’s bad manners, he's hired a minion to steal the fluffy Hell Hound, clearing the way for an uninterrupted courtship. But none of them can plan for a chaotic encounter in the park, resulting in lost notes, a soaking in the Serpentine, and the inept dognapper's confusion between Lancelot and Galahad! Determined to find the poodle, Michael doesn’t need a frivolous heiress interfering with his logical plans; but to his surprise, Bitsy is resourceful and clever. What he forgets is that chemistry is all about attraction; and this partnership of opposites is one romantically combustible formula. Still, what’s a scientist to do but continue to pursue an outcome, however explosive it may be?

Book Description
Even a fortune forged in railroads and steel can't buy entrance into the upper echelons of Victorian high society--for that you need a marriage of convenience. American heiress August Crenshaw has aspirations. But unlike her peers, it isn't some stuffy British Lord she wants wrapped around her finger--it's Crenshaw Iron Works, the family business. When it's clear that August's outrageously progressive ways render her unsuitable for a respectable match, her parents offer up her younger sister to the highest entitled bidder instead. This simply will not do. August refuses to leave her sister to the mercy of a loveless marriage. Evan Sterling, the Duke of Rothschild, has no intention of walking away from the marriage. He's recently inherited the title only to find his coffers empty, and with countless lives depending on him, he can't walk away from the fortune a Crenshaw heiress would bring him. But after meeting her fiery sister, he realizes Violet isn't the heiress he wants. He wants August, and he always gets what he wants. But August won't go peacefully to her fate. She decides to show Rothschild that she's no typical London wallflower. Little does she realize that every stunt she pulls to make him call off the wedding only makes him like her even more.
