"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." - William Shakespeare Rose Byrne is an aspiring author, the daughter of a printer, and all she wants is to see her name in print. Too bad she lives in the eighteenth century, where women writers are scorned as equal to prostitutes, her father is a drunk, and she has no prospects other than marrying the local butcher (he's also a dentist and a surgeon!). When she has a run-in with the Duke, Landon Havisham, she seizes the chance to tell him about her finished manuscript and he agrees to become her patron. Well, not exactly. It's more that he agrees to become the patron of her brother, who doesn't exist, and whose name is on the manuscript that she writes. But the more Rose communicates with Landon, the more she wonders if she should tell him who she really is... and if he'll be able to accept her under her own name.

Luna Stone had the relationship of her dreams as a teenager, but the book takes off six months into her marriage where things go a little wrong, leaving her with depression, among other things, and when her life is dark and miserable, she finds that maybe, just maybe, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Lieutenant Chase Colton had a rough life as a teenager/young adult after a very defining moment in his life, which led to him seeing life from a different perspective after months of therapy and struggling through PTSD, but it made him the police officer he is. A man who trains police dogs who helps with normal K9 work but also PTSD sufferers, when he has the chance. (This is more of a 'life after marriage' type of book, and not a teenage romance, so if you have been wondering what happens, after the high-school/college drama and 'they got engaged, got married and lived happy ever after' this is the type of book you would be interested in)
