Book Description
Never Deceive a Bluestocking: Lady Carolina Neverhartt has one wish…to attend a school devoted to the study of music. The newly opened Pembroke Academy of Music offers everything she hopes to learn. One man stands in her way…Wesley Cox, the Earl of Sheffield. He alone will determine if she's as talented as she claims, and he has no problem lying to her if he believes it's necessary. After her audition he denies her admittance and claims her talent is too mediocre. Carolina is furious and decides to investigate if he's telling the truth. He only sees her pretty face and thinks her mind has nothing of substance in it. She sets out to prove him wrong on principle alone. No one deceives her without suffering the consequences. If he won't allow her to attend the school, then perhaps there is an alternative solution. She proposes he teach her himself…privately. Lord Sheffield reluctantly agrees, and soon finds himself ensnared in a trap of his own design. The question is: Can he lure Carolina to stay by his side, and remain with him forever. Never Disrespect a Governess: Miss Alexandra Matthews is destitute after her father dies and leaves her nothing to fend for herself. She is forced to seek employment and takes a position as a governess for the children of the Duke of Graystone. Damon Neverhartt, the Earl of Seville returns home after being out of the country for years. He is ready to take over his family estate and accept his role as an earl. Thanks to the Duke of Graystone’s guidance the Seville estate is prosperous, and his family home almost completely restored. He goes to Graystone Castle upon his return and plans to stay there while Seville Manor’s restoration is being finalized. He doesn’t expect to find a temptation in the form of a governess. Damon knows he shouldn’t want her, but he can’t help how he feels. When she mistakes him as a worker on the estate he doesn’t correct her assumption. Alex and Damon are drawn together, but after she realizes he’s lied to her she doesn’t think he can be trusted. Damon’s mistake might cost him everything if he can’t win back her love. Never Desire a Duke: Miss Amelia Halsey is firmly on the shelf. In her first season, she'd had one offer. One she found repulsive, and thankfully her brother had refused. Now ten years later she decides it's time to give in to her one desire. She fell in love with the Duke of Darling, but he didn't notice her. At the yearly masquerade, Amelia decides she's going to try her hand at seduction, and the Duke of Darling is her gentleman of choice. If a lady is going to have one affair it might as well be with the man of her dreams after all... Grant Barrett, the Duke of Darling, doesn't wish to marry, but thinks perhaps it's time he does. His title demands it, and so does his meddling mother. An enchanting lady with golden hair and mischievous banter lures him away from the masquerade for a tantalizing interlude. Much to his frustration she disappears when the bell sounds to remove their masks. He believes he's finally met the woman destined to be his duchess. If only he had any way of discovering her name to ask her...

Miss Venus Merriwell has been waiting for her prince to come since the tender age of fourteen. She wants a man who is a selfless academic like her, and free from all the wretched vices her gambler father enjoyed far too much before he left the Merriwell sisters practically destitute. Unfortunately, after a slew of romantic disappointments, there is still no sign of that prince at twenty-three and the only one true love of her life is the bursting-at-the-seams orphanage in Covent Garden that she works tirelessly for. An orphanage that desperately needs to expand into the empty building next door. For Galahad Sinclair, gambling isn’t just his life, it’s in his blood. He grew up and learned the trade at his grandfather’s knee in a tavern on the far away banks of the Hudson in New York. But when fate took all that away and dragged him across the sea to London, it made sense to set up shop here. He’s spent five years making a success out of his gaming hall in the sleazy docks of the East End. Enough that he can finally afford to buy the pleasure palace of his dreams—and where better than in the capital’s sinful heart, Covent Garden? The only fly in his ointment is the perfect building he’s just bought to put it in also happens to be right next door to the orphanage run by his cousin’s wife’s youngest sister. A pious, disapproving and unsettling siren he has avoided like the plague since she flattened him five years ago. While Venus and Galahad lock horns over practically everything, and while her malevolent orphans do their darndest to sabotage his lifelong dream, can either of them take the ultimate gamble—and learn to love thy neighbor?
