In the first book in
Eva Leigh's "Union of the Rakes" series, a bluestocking hires a faux
suitor to help her land an ideal husband only to be blindsided by real
desire…
Lady Grace Wyatt is content as a wallflower, focusing
on scientific pursuits rather than the complications of society
matches. But when a handsome, celebrated naturalist returns from abroad,
Grace wishes, for once, to be noticed. Her solution: to "build" the
perfect man, who will court her publicly and help her catch his eye.
Grace's colleague, anthropologist Sebastian Holloway, is just the blank
slate she requires.
In exchange for funding his passage on an
expedition leaving London in a few months, Sebastian allows Grace to
transform him from a bespectacled, bookish academic into a
dashing—albeit fake—rake. Between secret lessons on how to be a
rogue and exaggerated public flirtations, Grace's feelings for Sebastian
grow from friendship into undeniable, inconvenient, real attraction. If only she hadn't hired him to help her marry someone else...
Sebastian
is in love with brilliant, beautiful Grace, but their bargain is
complete, and she desires another. Yet when he's faced with losing her
forever, Sebastian will do whatever it takes to tell her the truth, even
if it means risking his own future—and his heart.
When an ambitious entrepreneur pretends to be a lady of means, she catches the eye—and heart—of a duke...
Jessica McGale's family business desperately needs
investors, and she's determined to succeed at any cost. But she knows
London's elite will never look twice at a humble farm girl like herself.
Posing as “Lady Whitfield,” however, places her in the orbit of
wealthy, powerful people—most notably the Duke of Rotherby. His
influence and support could save her company, but Jess never expected
the effect he'd have on her.
Society thinks Noel is a
notorious, carefree duke who dabbles in investments, but there's a side
to him that only his closest friends see. When he crosses paths with
Lady Whitfield at a business bazaar, his world tilts on its axis. She's
brilliant and compelling, and brings him to his knees like no woman has
before. Trust is difficult for Noel, but Jess makes him believe anything
is possible...
As time ticks down on her Cinderella scheme, the
thought of achieving her goal at Noel's expense breaks Jess' heart. He
doesn't just want her now, he wants her forever. But will her secret end
their future before it begins?
For a merry widow and a stoic major, it’s a bumpy road to love…
Adjusting
to life in peacetime isn’t easy for Major Duncan McCameron. Escorting a
lady on her journey north seems like the perfect chance to give him
some much-needed purpose. That is, until he learns the woman in question
is the beautiful, bold, reckless Lady Farris. She makes his head spin
and being alone together will surely end in disaster.
Beatrice,
the Dowager Countess of Farris, is finally free of a stifling marriage
and she has no plans to shackle herself to any other man. Ready to live
life to the fullest, she’s headed to a week-long bacchanal and the
journey should be half the fun. Except she’s confined to a carriage with
a young, rule-abiding, irritatingly handsome Scottish soldier who
wouldn’t know a good time if it landed in his lap. But maybe a madcap
escapade will loosen him up...
Between carriage crashes, secret
barn dances, robbers, and an inn with only one bed, their initial
tension dissolves into a passion that neither expected. But is there a
future for an adventure-loving lady and a duty-bound soldier, or will
their differences tear them apart?
