After a disastrous first season in London, Rose Wilde finds herself torn between two men who love her -- but who both hide secrets that could ruin her. ***** Rose Wilde has always considered herself plain, especially when compared to her beautiful older sister Charlotte, and has practically given up on the idea of being romanced. But when American hotelier Derek Montgomery comes to revolutionise her little, sleepy English village of Ascot, Rose starts to revisit the idea of falling in love. However, Derek brings with him many secrets and obligations, some that might prohibit him from pursuing Rose -- and push her into the arms of her friend, Michael Cornell, the Marquess of Juniper. Will fate allow Rose and Derek to marry for love? Or will she indeed become the reluctant marchioness? [[Word count: 70,000 - 80,000 words]] Cover designed by Ashley Bandy (The Reluctant Marchioness is the sequel to The Coveted Countess, but can also be read as a standalone)

Forced to sail to the sun-drenched kingdom of Ardalone to fulfill a marriage alliance, Prince Thomas of Pretania must choose one of the Ardalonian princesses to be his wife. But every choice comes with consequences. Spurned by Thomas' older brother, Princess Dulciana stands to inherit the throne as she is eldest, but only if she marries an Ardalonian noble. Second-in-line Prince Frederico will do anything to ensure that doesn't happen. But beyond the palace gates, a rebellion is stirring...and if there's one thing Prince Thomas excels at, it's stirring up trouble. WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE SEASON SERIES! (Though I'm going to do my best to ensure you can read as a standalone if you don't want to read the first two.)

Four years ago, Evelyn Wright's perfect life as a debutante in London was ripped away from her, and her family moved to the countryside. Since then, she has adjusted to the simple life, but one letter is about to send her to the city and back into the life of a socialite, forced to suffer through balls, matchmaking, scheming mothers and worst of all, despicable rakes. Evelyn wants nothing to do with this life, eager to return home, until a ​fateful decision throws her into the path of one of societies most daring rakes, Nathanial Blackmore, the Duke of Winchester. He is arrogant, rich and entitled, everything she despises about men, but as the unlikely pair begin to work together to avoid the hangman's noose, she discovers that there is a lot more to him than sinful smiles and dangerous promises. Can they escape the death sentence that hangs above them? Or is Evelyn more in danger of losing her heart, than her head?

(COMPLETED) It's 1817 and there is nothing more a woman wants than to marry a rich man and live a life of comfort. But not Nancy Brooks. Having spent half her life helping her mother run her laundry shop and the other half in the local library, Nancy knows what she wants, and it is not a life spent looking for the perfect suitor. Things take a turn when she delivers clothes to one of the schools she always dreamed of attending and ends up saving the day. Lord Andrew Montgomery rules almost every place he sets foot in-one of the perks of being the son of the most powerful duke of the time-and this includes Oxford. Violent and aggressive, he vows to make the life of every student who dares defy him miserable. However, when he targets the new (and first) girl at Oxford, his obsession becomes a little more than just making her life miserable. It began, he would later speculate, with a shout: the simple sound of someone shouting at him-for the first time in his life. It began, she would later speculate, with a catch: the simple movement of strong arms, breaking her fall, catching her midway. But after that, there would come many more events, and ones not too keen on bringing them together. What will they do when a powerful duchess steps in, when it seems every person is working to keep them apart? This is a story of betrayal and love, because they are not so different after all...

Lady Lorena Cullip is the definition in Mr. Samuel Johnson's English Dictionary for the word: curious. One might also find her name under 1- scandalous 2- disastrous, 3- slightly mad. But the latest rumors about the lady have all of London holding their breaths. She's begun a Spinster's Society. Who'd have ever thought the daughter of a duke could have so much fun? In Lorena's opinion, no one is more attractive than Emmett Starr, the Earl of Ashwick. She's been in love with him for years but mishaps always occur whenever they are in the vicinity of one another for too long. Like that small incident when she burned his London townhouse to the ground... But that doesn't stop the earl from wanting her now more than ever, and he intends to have her. If one looked up Ashwick in Mr. Johnson's dictionary, they'd find: arrogant, aggressive, authoritative, and ... after Lorena gives her body and soul over to the temptation of all that is him... addictive. Suddenly, being a spinster doesn't hold any of its previous appeal. In fact, Lorena barely remember her name, much less what her society is actually called. But what will a life with the earl mean for the future of her new club? Perhaps, it's time for Mr. Johnson to give 'spinster' a new meaning...
