A witty wallflower. A world of secrets. And one Season that will change everything. England, 1807. Sophia (Sophie) Windle is no ordinary debutante. Cynical, sharp-tongued, and determined to avoid the matrimonial trap set by high society-and her determined mother-she's perfectly content to sabotage her own prospects and fade into the background as a well-practiced wallflower. But when a lie lands her in the path of the aloof and aggravating Mr. Wells, a suspicious old flame re-emerges with charming words, Sophie's carefully constructed defenses begin to crack. What begins as a season of quiet rebellion, soon spirals into scandal, betrayal, and the threat of ruin. Torn between the expectations of her family, the ghosts of her past, and the mysterious farm-hand, William, Sophia must decide what she truly wants-and what she's willing to risk to get it. From ballrooms to a men's only school, Pinnacle is a Regency drama steeped in tension, romance, and razor-sharp wit. With one voice that refuses to be silenced, Sophia's story is not just about survival in society-it's about defiance, self-discovery, and the quiet power of choosing your own fate.

"The Riley twins were born in the spring of 1797 during a ferocious storm that battered the Salisbury Plain for three days together. Isabel entered the world with a flash of lightning, her shrieking drowned out by a grand clap of thunder. Thirteen minutes later the storm abated, clouds parted, and Miranda was handed to her father, blinking in rays of sun that poured through the window." Isabel loves the comfort of home and the company of her family and few close friends. She doesn't care for the drama of the season or dream of gothic adventures as her sister does. She is wild and carefree in her own right, mischievous if need be, and the fun she has with her sister and closest friend is enough to satisfy her fancies. If only life took pleasure in forcing adventure on those who wished for it, instead of those who did not. Miranda is a playful romantic, she looks forward to her first season with a desperation which rivals that of a starving man on his way to a feast. She can't wait to dress in beautiful gowns and dance the nights away with the height of the Ton. More than anything, she dreams of finding her prince charming and falling in love; but love is a game, and some play it far too well. What readers are saying: "What a wonderful read!!

When the beaus of Star's Crossing return from boarding school to begin the courting season, Mare is determined to uncover the identity of her writer, flout her family's intentions of orchestrating an advantageous marriage, and procure the life of writing and romance she's always sought. But as in the tales she so adores, it won't be easy. Galas, masquerades, picnics, and hunts-alongside an old friend, a former teacher, and an unlikely ally, Mare delves into an investigation that leaves her torn between three clever, deceptive, and wealthy young bachelors. If Mare can confirm which is her writer and claim his hand before the courting season ends, she'll have her wish: the love of her life, a valuable marriage, and a future of writing romance.
