Dashing as they may be, Ella Quinn’s eligible bachelors have much to learn about life and love. Fortunately, just the right ladies are willing to instruct them... Lady Dorcus Calthorp, daughter of the Marquis of Huntington, loved and lost during her first Season, leaving her suspicious of gentlemen. Now Dorie finds herself with no marital prospects in sight—until Alexander, the newly elevated Marquis of Exeter, arrives in town. Handsome, charming, and an interesting conversationalist, he at first seems to be her perfect match. Then Dorie discovers he may not be seeking a wife so much as a land steward and mother to his sisters... After learning of his father’s death, Alexander returns home to find his mother has run off with his land steward, leaving his younger sisters with their governesses. The most expedient solution is a wife who will take the household and estate in hand while he assumes his role in parliament. Lady Dorie meets all the requirements—until she makes a surprising proposal. Instead of marrying Alexander, she will tutor him in his duties, freeing him to find his heart’s match. Yet the more Dorie teaches him, the more he longs to change their course of study—to love. And with the end of the Season nearing, he doesn’t have much time...

An unconventional woman might be the perfect match for a stuffy Englishman in the continuation of this USA Today–bestselling Regency romance series. The Dowager Lady Worthington isn’t quite sure what to make of country-girl Dorothea Stern. As the granddaughter of the Duke of Bristol, Dotty is schooled in the ways and means of the nobility. But her sharp wit and outspoken nature has everyone in a tizzy. Especially their cousin, Dominic, the Marquis of Merton. Prematurely stuffy, Dom was raised by his cheerless uncle to be wary of a host of things, including innovation, waltzing, and most perilous of all: true love. Still, there’s something about Dotty, beyond her beauty, that Dom cannot resist. But the odds are against him if he intends to win her as his bride. Will he choose loyalty to his family—or risk everything for the one woman he believes is his perfect match… “A classic Regency romp! Perfect for fans of Grace Burrowes.”—Caroline Linden, USA Today bestselling author “A strong continuation of an appealing series.”—Publishers Weekly

Second chances can lead to dangerous affairs of the heart… They were once lovers who parted in bitterness and betrayal. Now they are enemies and can’t resist each other. Edith, Lady Carruthers, has everything a woman could ever want: beauty, wealth, and power. But she is also trapped in a loveless marriage with a cruel earl who treats her like a trophy. The only man who ever made her feel alive was Ambrose, the now dashing and rebellious Marquis of Camber. But she rejected him for a title, and he never forgave her. Ambrose has spent the last ten years trying to forget Edith. He has become a notorious rake and duelist, courting danger and scandal at every turn. He still burns for her but also hates her for breaking his heart. When the Earl of Carruthers dies under mysterious circumstances, Ambrose and Edith are thrown together again. The old flame between them reignites, but someone is playing a dark game with them—new and old enemies who want to ruin them both. Can they overcome their pride and their enemies? Or will they lose their love and their lives?
