The Earl’s Ward Kate is glad the Earl is back after his long travels to foreign lands to approve officially of her marriage to Tom, her fiancé. Kate thought she had all her life mapped out but she had not expected her warden to be of such an amicable character with him insisting on their first meeting that she call him by his first name, Matthew. Neither had she expected to become so close to the Earl as time goes on and he willingly shares with her his life stories and work. Even more annoyingly, Kate cannot help but notice how handsome he is with his distracting blue eyes. It is not long before she starts feeling a strong attraction and attachment to him, one she believes is shared by the Earl in return! Kate will now find that falling for a man who has pledged his life and work to being an explorer comes with its own perils, one that only love may overcome! Lady Eloise’s Will Joanna has always loved Ryan; he is her first and only love! However, the path of true love will not run smoothly for Joanna. Lady Eloise, the woman who saved her from life in an orphanage, appeals to Joanna to release Ryan from the strong bonds they have formed for each other, allowing Ryan to set off to sea and become a man. Joanna, at the guidance and insistence of Lady Eloise, goes on to make the hardest decision of her life. She forces Ryan to leave her, making him think that she never truly cared about him, a decision which leaves both of them heartbroken! Now, over five years later, Ryan and Joanna come face to face once more to hear the final words of Lady Eloise from her will but what they will find out at the reading will surprise them, igniting again the powerful passion and desire that they both thought they had long ago suppressed for each other! The Presumptuous Earl Claire is under no illusion that Anthony the Earl of Beaumont has no great liking of her, but merely tolerates her as one of his sister’s closet friends. But Claire is soon to become completely confused. If the Earl thinks she has such a bad character why is he instigating passionate encounters between them and requesting that she officially becomes his mistress?! Even more shocking, why is she responding so wantonly in turn to his advances, allowing him to give and take pleasure from her so freely?! The Patient Viscount Cassandra wants nothing more to do with her former lover Tristan, the Viscount of Crescent, having found him in a compromising position with another woman. She flees from him in her deep upset, only to find that the Tristan has no intention of letting her go. And this time around, once he finds her he will be more demanding than ever!

But Sophia does not know that it is the Viscount who has sent Joseph away, to give both his son and herself space and time to understand what they really mean to each other.

The Viscount and the Traveller Jamie, the Viscount of Richmond, surprises himself when instead of seeing to it that Miranda is punished for trespassing on his land, promises to offer her all the help that she needs to look after her sick mother. Perhaps the answer to his strange behaviour can be found in a set of striking big brown eyes that appear older and wiser than Miranda’s lovely youthful appearance, and which immediately bewitches him, to the point that he longs to take her in his arms. Miranda has always viewed men like Jamie as far removed from her world. He is from a settled ruling class, and she, in comparison, is a wandering traveller with no fixed living location. But now she finds herself questioning all that she believes, as the Viscount becomes her protector and continues to treat her with a real kindness.

To her disappointment, David has to leave her country estate and her on an urgent matter. Hannah takes the opportunity to reluctantly end their intimate arrangement. But worse is to come. When joining her good friend Daisy for the Season in London, Hannah spots David Grey and finds out his true identity: he is no other than Earl David Huxtable! And the Earl seems to be very determined to continue where they left off.... The Viscount’s Gamble We are first introduced to Julian when his future is looking very bleak. He has just lost all his estate and worldly possessions to a Mr Carter through several very poor games of cards on his part. Unable to repay all his debts, he fears that he will be punished and sent away to debtor’s jail. But his day takes on another twist! Mr Carter is prepared to write off all of Julian’s debts to him: all Julian will have to do is marry his daughter, so she as well as his future grandchildren can benefit from the Viscount’s title. Julian is very reluctant to fulfil Mr Carter request: the last thing he wants to do is get married to anyone! Unable to find a solution to his predicament, he agrees to meet Mr Carter’s daughter, Helen, but as soon as he sets eyes on her, he is left stunned and captivated by whom he discovers. Could he now be having a change of heart, as Helen shows him that she matches all his desires in more ways than one? The Reckless Baron Harriet runs away from her family to be with Robert the Baron, the man she loves and believes will brighten up her life from her current boring existence, and show her the world! There is only one problem: Robert says he does not feel the same way. He had only promised to whisk her away based on idle chatter and intoxication; he had not meant for her to hold him true to his words. He has no intention of seeking a wife and he certainly does not want to face the brunt of her father and brothers’ anger when they find out Harriet has run away to be with him. Realising their misunderstanding, Robert and Harriet both finally agree, after much argument, that Harriet must return home and the two must get back to their separate lives. Their plan to return Harriet all fares well until they are ambushed during their journey by a highwayman. Robert is left temporarily unconscious, but this is not the only drama that unfolds as Harriet and Robert are forced to share a room for the night. Will they now finally give in to their obvious passion for each other? The Marquess’s Ward Victoria wants to run away from the Marquess who had agreed to look after her as a promise he made to his late father.

The Marquess gave his word to his father to make Victoria into a lady. But it soon becomes apparent that there is a strong, intense connection between both the Marquess and Victoria, one that they are unable to restrain as they start a passionate affair together! But Victoria does not want the life her mother led and to become just a mistress. If the Marquess is to win Victoria over, he will need to offer much more of himself—for Victoria is also after his heart! Her Lady’s Choice Georgina is at first unimpressed by her parents’ plans to match her up with Jonathan, a man she has never met, despite her father’s appeal to her of him being the son of an earl and possessing both excellent education and manners. As far as Georgina is concerned, she is looking for a man of mystery who stands out from the crowd, and she is very doubtful that her parents would find such a man for her. But then comes her surprise when she finally meets Jonathan. He is completely different from how she imagined him; dashing and charming, he makes her knees go all weak just by being in his presence. However, there is a second shock for her; it seems that Jonathan is not convinced she would be a good match for him, being in his eyes a mere inexperienced, naïve girl just out of the schoolroom. Georgina now finds herself battling to show Jonathan there is more to her than meets the eye, that she is a woman who knows her own mind and possesses a great passion, a passion which Jonathan will soon find he will not be able to ignore! The Insufferable Lady Grayson Juliet Grayson is a notorious brat, determined always to have her own way, but she is soon to learn a lesson. When her family abandons her, she finds herself alone for the first time and does not know what to do next with her life.

She is reluctant to accept his proposal, despite spending sleepless nights reliving a passionate encounter she once had with the Viscount. The Viscount has wanted Juliet from the moment he set his eyes upon her. He will never abandon her, but he knows that if he and Juliet are to have a successful marriage, he will have to tame her—both in and out of the bedroom! The Infamous Earl of Cranmer Marcus, the Earl of Cranmer, has a dark reputation for being a dangerous rake, but this does not stop Lydia taking up employment with him as his housekeeper when she finds herself desperately looking for somewhere to hide from her old troubles. She is able to keep the earl at arm’s length and avoid any growing attraction between them, until a face from her past shows up bringing drama into her life once more. The earl becomes unwittingly entangled in Lydia’s affairs, as he sets himself up as her saviour and protector. Causing Lydia to see the earl in a new light once more, and breaking down all her defences against him, she realises she is not impenetrable to his charms. It is now only a matter of time before they give into their passion for each other at long last! At Her Duke’s Bidding Catherine feels strongly that she should leave and part ways from the duke and his household after paying back her debt to him in more ways than one! However, the duke will not let Catherine go so easily; he has never desired anyone in his life as much as he does Catherine. As a result, he is most unwilling to stop their passionate encounters that bring each of them so much pleasure. Leaving Catherine very much frustrated, she knows she should resist the duke’s advances, but he has an unnerving effect upon her. When he is near, all her good intentions fall apart, with the maintenance of her self-control becoming the last thing on her mind!

What could be worse than surrendering the very picture of your desire? Meeting the man himself. Anthony Philby, Duke of Weston, is nobody's muse. Upon discovering the scandalous likeness, he springs into action. His infamous family has been torn apart by shame and secrets, and he can't afford more gossip. Even a whisper may jeopardize his inheritance and his chance at independence. His plan is simple: burn the painting, confront the artist. Or rather, it's simple until he meets Lucy and decides to offer the bewitching young artist a devil's bargain. He'll help save her foreclosed home, if she'll help repair his family’s brutal legacy. An irresistible passion ignites between them, but when danger strikes, Lucy and Anthony must risk everything... for a love that might destroy them both.

The widowed Diana, Lady Templeton and Jeremy, Marquess of Willingham are infamous among English high society as much for their sharp-tongued bickering as their flirtation. One evening, an argument at a ball turns into a serious wager: Jeremy will marry within the year or Diana will forfeit one hundred pounds. So shortly after, just before a fortnight-long house party at Elderwild, Jeremy’s country estate, Diana is shocked when Jeremy appears at her home with a very different kind of proposition. After his latest mistress unfavorably criticized his skills in the bedroom, Jeremy is looking for reassurance, so he has gone to the only woman he trusts to be totally truthful. He suggests that they embark on a brief affair while at the house party—Jeremy can receive an honest critique of his bedroom skills and widowed Diana can use the gossip to signal to other gentlemen that she is interested in taking a lover. Diana thinks taking him up on his counter-proposal can only help her win her wager. With her in the bedroom and Jeremy’s marriage-minded grandmother, the formidable Dowager Marchioness of Willingham, helping to find suitable matches among the eligible ladies at Elderwild, Diana is confident her victory is assured. But while they’re focused on winning wagers, they stand to lose their own hearts. With Martha Waters’s signature “cheeky charm and wonderfully wry wit” (Booklist, starred review), To Love and to Loathe is another clever and delightful historical rom-com that is perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Evie Dunmore.

Going toe-to-toe with a brooding Scotsman is rather bold for a respectable suffragist, but when he happens to be one's unexpected husband, what else is an unwilling bride to do? London banking heiress Hattie Greenfield wanted just three things in life: 1. Acclaim as an artist. 2. A noble cause. 3. Marriage to a young lord who puts the gentle in gentleman. Why then does this Oxford scholar find herself at the altar with the darkly attractive financier Lucian Blackstone, whose murky past and ruthless business practices strike fear in the hearts of Britain's peerage? Trust Hattie to take an invigorating little adventure too far. Now she's stuck with a churlish Scot who just might be the end of her ambitions.... When the daughter of his business rival all but falls into his lap, Lucian sees opportunity. As a self-made man, he has vast wealth but holds little power, and Hattie might be the key to finally setting long-harbored political plans in motion. Driven by an old desire for revenge, he has no room for his new wife's apprehensions or romantic notions, bewitching as he finds her. But a sudden journey to Scotland paints everything in a different light. Hattie slowly sees the real Lucian and realizes she could win everything--as long as she is prepared to lose her heart.

Book excerpt: “Dunmore is my new find in historical romance. Her A League of Extraordinary Women series is, well, extraordinary.”—Julia Quinn, #1 New York Times bestselling author “With her sterling debut, Evie Dunmore dives into a fresh new space in historical romance that hits all the right notes.”—Entertainment Weekly A stunning debut for author Evie Dunmore and her Oxford suffragists in which a fiercely independent vicar's daughter takes on a powerful duke in a fiery love story that threatens to upend the British social order. England, 1879. Annabelle Archer, the brilliant but destitute daughter of a country vicar, has earned herself a place among the first cohort of female students at the renowned University of Oxford. In return for her scholarship, she must support the rising women's suffrage movement. Her charge: recruit men of influence to champion their cause. Her target: Sebastian Devereux, the cold and calculating Duke of Montgomery who steers Britain's politics at the Queen's command. Her challenge: not to give in to the powerful attraction she can't deny for the man who opposes everything she stands for. Sebastian is appalled to find a suffragist squad has infiltrated his ducal home, but the real threat is his impossible feelings for green-eyed beauty Annabelle. He is looking for a wife of equal standing to secure the legacy he has worked so hard to rebuild, not an outspoken commoner who could never be his duchess. But he wouldn't be the greatest strategist of the Kingdom if he couldn't claim this alluring bluestocking without the promise of a ring...or could he? Locked in a battle with rising passion and a will matching her own, Annabelle will learn just what it takes to topple a duke.... “There is nothing quite so satisfying as seeing such a man brought to his knees by a beautiful woman with nothing to her name except an inviolable sense of her own self-worth.”—NPR
