While wandering around, in search of some food to take with them, Mariana and Paulette soon discover that they've been left behind. When they go to try and get a room at a hotel, Mariana is mistaken for another person. She figures that, until she can contact Captain Mark, she'll fall into the role and gain what she needs to do so. What will happen when Mariana totally falls into the role?

Ivy Friesner has led a lonely life ever since Mariana and Paulette had left. Her tavern had gone downhill, but one night, when a straggler comes into her tavern, Ivy's world gets turned around.

Me on the other hand, I'm a mess, my grades suck, my dad is expecting me to take his spot in the family business and my only comfort is in the bottom of a bottle. My dad expects me to deal with the Alonso, more importantly Carlos and a runaway daughter named Arabella. The whole thing was to blackmail the Alonso into giving us share in a new upcoming business. I left that conference room, I left engaged to someone who has been living under my nose. The tricky part about it was that I liked being married to her, she was like coming up for a fresh breath of air after drowning. Emmy- I have been in Crimson Harbor for six months, I ran away from my hometown back in Spain and I couldn't be happier despite my past following me like my own shadow.

A 19th century London courtesan agrees to a phony courtship with a navy captain and finds herself negotiating uncharted territory outside the boudoir. ***** The year is eighteen-thirteen. The place is London. Mistress Rosalind Hayes is a courtesan, raised in an orphan asylum and later tutored by one of the most respected courtesans of the time. Now, Rose caters to the whims of lusty nobles and businessmen, and she is determined to maintain her sovereignty. When Rose meets the Thompson siblings; Jules, a navy captain, and Alice, his spirited younger sister, the trio form an easy kinship. Rose learns they have recently lost their mother to smallpox, and she is persuaded by the siblings to pose as Jules's love interest in an attempt to bring their grief-stricken father out of a terrible depression.
