When Miss Phoebe Price, penniless spinster, unexpectedly becomes Miss Phoebe Price, heiress, the ton rejoices.
Just kidding. The ton explodes with malicious gossip.
Where did Phoebe’s mysterious riches come from? Everyone wants to know—especially Phoebe! And when her new fortune drops her into the eye of a brewing storm of scandal, she doesn’t know how she’ll clear her name.
Certainly, the very last person she should turn to for help is Captain Anthony Grenville. The handsome war hero is back, and now he’s the heir to an earldom. But somehow, the newly-minted Heiress of Holborn must discover the truth about her money before her secret enemies can destroy her life. But can she do that while also staying away from Captain Grenville? And... does she want to?
When Miss Sophia Lightbourne’s spoiled sister runs away from home, there’s only one thing Sophia can do: follow her to London to try to save Kitty from being ruined. If only the trail didn’t lead straight to Augustus Alleyne…
Alleyne is handsome, witty, and the stepson of a baronet. He’s painted the portraits of half the ton. Yet his wealthy and aristocratic friends are wastrels, and Sophia very much suspects that Alleyne is a rake. Too bad he’s the only person who can help her find Kitty. As he and Sophia follow the trail of destruction left by the heedless Kitty, their connection grows passionate.
Does what happens in London stay in London?
Mr. Charles Keynsham—handsome, rich, and the heir to a viscountcy—only wants to be left alone to drown his sorrows with a glass of ale or two. But when he sees a lady in trouble, he can’t possibly leave her to fend for herself. Not on the outskirts of Whitechapel—and not when she so clearly doesn’t know her way around London... despite her insistence that she does.
A desperate young lady seizes her only chance to run away from home—and arrives in London intending to stay just long enough to catch the next coach in her long journey. But when she discovers that she’s been pick-pocketed and is now penniless, she must accept Mr. Keynsham's help, even though she wants nothing to do with him.
As mayhem ensues, their mutual attraction grows… and Keynsham begins to wonder whether the life he has planned is really the life that he wants.
Miss Celia Talbot—the penniless daughter of a disgraced village squire—is employed as a lady’s companion, trying desperately to stay two steps ahead of the merciless criminal her father crossed.
Charles Keynsham, Viscount Alford, was one of the ton’s most eligible bachelors. But with his father’s untimely death, scandals and debts are spilling out into the light, and it’s all he can do to keep the estate’s creditors at bay.
A year ago, Keynsham and Celia shared a kiss that could have melted all the ices in a Mayfair ballroom. But then she vanished, and he’s begun to wonder if she was only a figment of his overheated imagination. So when their paths cross again, is it a magical twist of fate, or a gangster with a vindictive streak that’s at work?
Gabriel West has spent two years living abroad. Now that he’s unexpectedly inherited a dukedom, his return to London comes with a target on his back, courtesy of his bitter political rivals. The one silver lining? At least he’s far away from Pomona Keynsham—the woman who broke his heart.
Pomona's reputation is already hanging by a thread after being barred from Almack’s and shunned by high society. If anyone discovers that she’s secretly the authoress behind the sensational gothic novel The Tomb of Valdarno, she’ll be completely ruined.
When the threat of yet another catastrophic scandal forces an alliance, Pomona finds herself married to the last man she trusts. Now, she's not only racing to finish her next book, but locked in a dangerous game of wits to keep West from discovering her secret writing career—and to keep him at arm's length. Because if there is one thing Pomona refuses to do, it's fall in love with him all over again.
