At three and twenty, Lady Susanna Beresford is at dire risk of being considered an old maid, though she is determined that nothing but the deepest love will incline her to marry, a fact that deeply vexes her mother. As the season closes in 1810 and Susanna prepares to return home to Hertfordshire unattached, she meets the very man who will indeed change her life forever. A man whom high society would deem inappropriate and forbidden based on the very colour of his skin. But there is more to this man than meets the eye, and their meeting sets in motion a series of events that will undoubtably change society as they know it forever.

The death of a man he never met has Dominic Antrucha assuming a title and position he never even knew existed. Dozens of "fine", young ladies flaunt themselves at him in hopes of sharing the wealth and status he now possesses, but Dominic has sworn off love since his heart was broken. Now, with all his dreams and plans shattered, he must come to terms with this new life. There's a catch, though. Not only did this change demolish his simple plans for his future, it threw him into a mess of intrigue and danger that involves far too many of his close friends and newly acquainted relatives. And at the heart of it is the woman who broke his heart and betrayed him-the only person he's ever come to hate. Will he actually be able to survive this mess long enough to pull himself back together and rise above the deceit of the society he's entered? Can he unlock the secrets that broke his heart? Most important of all, will he choose to trust the ones who have betrayed him before it's too late?

As if being orphaned, broke and forced to answer an Ad for a mail order bride isn't bad enough. Lily finds out, much too late, that she must be a mother as well. Unfortunately for her, being a mother is the least of her problems compared to the very glaring problem of whose mother she has to be; a mother to six children. * Raymond doesn't exactly have a choice when he decides to put out an Ad for a mail order bride, excluding the very major detail of his six children. With the dire need of proper feeding, care and love that his children are in, he would much rather lie to a woman than lose his children to starvation. Leaving out his children's existence is not the only thing Raymond has done, he has also left out the fact that he has no intention of being intimate with his new wife. The plan was to acquire a housekeeper in the guise of a wife and live as friendly strangers. Raymond is not prepared for the feisty blond that answers to his Ad or the fact that it is becoming more and more difficult to ignore her presence.
