(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...

A cat, a raven, and a missing ring lead to scandal for the old earl's bastard grandson and the baker's daughter. The missing heir to the Earl of Ravenstone has come forward, cutting out Fletcher Graham's brother. The new heir offers proof of his identity in the form of a family signet ring. When the ring disappears, Fletch suspects a woman he saw leaving his grandfather's office, and he resolves to confront her. She's no servant, however, she's the baker's daughter, a savvy businesswoman. Her determination to help confounds him as much as his growing attraction to her. Supplying ginger biscuits and apple tarts to Ravenstone Castle brought Anna Hale fame and a brisk business. A missing ring threatens that business, and her champion mouser appears to be in the middle of the mystery. Anna inserts herself into the investigation only to find herself caught in a scandal that leads to a sham betrothal. She knows she must find a way out of it; she just isn't sure she wants to.
