[IMPORTANT: This is a closed-door romance for readers uncomfortable reading heavy erotica and adult scenes.]
Miss Mina Haswell has always been a firm believer in love, especially when it comes to her betrothed, a dear childhood friend. Years ago, however, fate took a cruel turn, draping her in mourning and casting her heart in grief. Though unable to even fathom the prospect of love once again blessing her life, she finds joy in her sister's happiness.
After her father's untimely passing, the title of Viscount Sinclair unexpectedly falls to a distant relative, the somewhat reclusive Mr Royston Langdon. When their paths cross, Mina and Royston embark on an unconventional journey filled with unforeseen challenges.
Intrigued by Miss Haswell, the newly minted Lord Sinclair proposes a daring wager - a game of hearts. If Mina can help Royston win the affection of his potential bride, he promises to triple her inheritance. In return, should Royston help Mina win the heart of her chosen suitor, she will be forced to give up her beloved summer residence, which holds her most cherished memories and represents a significant portion of her inheritance. Their stakes are equal - Mina has lived far from the scrutinising gaze of the ton, while Royston remains a newcomer to its complex world.
But patience is not a virtue for which Miss Haswell is known, and Lord Sinclair seems to take a peculiar pleasure in vexing her at every turn. Amidst the whirlwind of emotions, societal expectations and their passionate exchange of wits, one question lingers:
Can there be a winner from this daring wager, or will the unpredictability of love cause the rules to be rewritten?

A Sense of Propriety
"After all the trouble I caused. After what I did to you . . . Did you really expect me to be able to look you in the eye?" Cordelia Sutton, young and gentle, has seen her fair share of tribulations in life. From the untimely death of her parents to the forced removal of one of her closest friends, she desired nothing more than a quiet life in the country. But with the insistent urges from a family friend to return to London, the pressure placed upon young ladies by society is difficult enough, even more so for Cordelia who finds herself coming face-to-face with a man she thought she would never see again. Now not only must she find a way to navigate the complex world of the pure bloods but also battle her own emotions pertaining to a certain Marquis. It is a difficult task for one so ignorant of the world to undertake, and one where a sense of propriety could very well mean the difference between life and death for a love once lost. ***All rights reserved.

Eliza Price, daughter of the Duke of Hertfordshire, finds herself entangled in a web of suitors, rejecting one potential partner after another. A marriage with the esteemed Duke of Kent appears to be her path forward, until an enigmatic figure, Mr. Magician, captivates her heart. Not only does he possess an irresistible charm, but he stands as the sole gentleman in all of London who dares to resist her allure. Meanwhile, the Marquess St. Arcey, perceiving Eliza as the embodiment of a femme fatale, cannot bear the thought of her belonging to another. His ardent pursuit of her heart and hand further complicates matters. To exacerbate the predicament, the fate of Eliza's family fortune hangs precariously in the balance. The crucial documents that substantiate their ancestral estates and noble title are hidden within a chest, found by the royal historian. Tragically, the historian meets an untimely demise, and the chest mysteriously vanishes, leaving all clueless about its whereabouts. The historian's demise summons the long-standing rivals of the Price family - the Grays - who descend upon London with their agenda. Amongst them is the haughty Lord Daniel Gray, driven by a deep-seated desire for retribution stemming from an ancient transgression that saw his family's property pass into the hands of the Prices. His presence in Eliza's life becomes an omen of unfortunate events, marked by searing insults unleashed each time their paths cross. Will Eliza navigate this maelstrom of emotions and choices to find her ultimate happiness? And who shall claim the chest concealing the Price family's fortunes? The answers lie within the endless dance of fate, as Eliza's journey unfolds against the backdrop of Georgian society, where love, rivalry, and the pursuit of ancestral legacies intertwine in unexpected ways.
