Lady Grace Carpenter is ready to seize the day-or rather, the night-with the most compelling man she’s ever known. Marriage would mean losing guardianship of her beloved siblings, and surely no sane gentleman will take on seven children not his own. But if she can have one anonymous tryst with Mattheus, Earl of Worthington, Grace will be content to live out the rest of her life as a spinster. Matt had almost given up hope of finding a wife who could engage his mind as well as his body. And now this sensual, intelligent woman is offering herself to him. What could be more perfect? Except that after one wanton night, the mysterious Grace refuses to have anything to do with him.
What she intended to be a single night of passion, the memories of which would carry her through a life of spinsterhood, turns into a whirlwind courtship.
Amid the distractions of the Season he must convince her, one delicious encounter at a time, that no obstacle-or family-is too much for a man who’s discovered his heart’s desire. The two lovers struggle to avoid drawing the attention of scandalmongers during the London season.
Worthington has four sisters of his own to care for, heaping a pile of practical concerns atop the lovers’ very real struggle to stop making out long enough to get anything done. This light, cheery romance coasts comfortably toward its awkwardly fumbled ending.

The Dowager Lady Worthington isn’t quite sure what to make of country-girl Dorothea Stern.
Miss Dorothea “Dotty” Stern, heroine to abandoned animals and people in peril, is glum when it starts to look like she’ll have to miss her long-anticipated social debut with her best friend. When she gets her season after all, hosted by her friend’s family, she must promise her parents to curb her impulse to take in strays.
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.
Naturally, she stretches the spirit of her pledge when she meets Dominic, a marquis who’s notorious for his arrogance and heartless political positions. 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.
“Enthralled by Dotty’s passion, the stuffy and amusingly conflicted Dominic must find a way to woo her without committing the greatest faux pas: falling in love. Amid rescued kittens and thwarted human trafficking circles, Dominic and Dotty’s genuine romance grows in the face of credible obstacles, thrumming with satisfying passion. This is a strong continuation of an appealing series.”
Note…If you like “Prematurely stuffy” heros, Loretta Chase’s Lord Perfect comes to mind……

This season, all eyes are on the Earl of Worthington’s spirited, beautiful sister, Lady Louisa Vivers. The headstrong young heiress enjoying her first London season. Many gentlemen are vying for her attention in and around the ton.
Yet, Louisa longs for someone who can take her beyond the ballroom-a man who is worldly, adventurous, and passionate. She won’t settle for just any suitor and needs to make it clear to the dithering Lord Bentley that she does not return his affections. She wants her true soul mate-and she’ll know him when she sees him.
Is Gideon, the Duke of Rothwell, him?
This need becomes pressing when a chance encounter with Bentley’s cousin Gideon, Duke of Rothwell, leaves her convinced she’s found the man she’s destined to marry. Gideon, freshly returned from Canada, has just discovered that his father has nearly ruined the family through gambling and pampering a mistress. Distraught, Gideon nevertheless finds himself obsessed with Louisa, even when he realizes pursuing her means crossing his dear cousin. Both lovers must hope for the success of Louisa’s straightforward plan to shove Bentley in the direction of other eligible ladies.
Covering more time than previous entries in the series, Gideon and Louisa’s courtship and the early weeks of their marriage will charm and delight new readers as well as series veterans.
