London 1814…

Drake,
Duke of Manchester is searching the Marriage Mart for a perfect bride. He wants
a woman who is poised, sophisticated, and worthy of the title Duchess. But most
of all, he wants a woman who does not want the useless emotion of love.

Socially
awkward Miss Penelope Clayton isn’t meant for marriage. A serious botanist, she
has no desire to wed, so being forced by her guardian to participate in the
Season to find a husband is torture. She’ll never fit in with the ton, especially if they discover she’s
been pretending to be a man within the scientific community.

As
Drake’s family makes over Penelope, turning her from naive bluestocking to
enchanting debutante, he is put upon to introduce her to society and eligible
bachelors. Despite dance lessons and new gowns, Penelope is the opposite of
poised and sophisticated as she stumbles from one mishap to the next. Why then,
does he find it so hard to resist her?

St. Louis, Missouri, 1879      

Heiress Kate Barker thought
she’d met the man of her dreams the night the mysterious English viscount swept
her off her feet at the masquerade. Until his real identity is revealed—the
cold, calculating scoundrel is really there to rip her world apart.

The only things that have
kept widower Stephen Worth alive for the past two years are the promise of
revenge against the man who framed him for murder and the love for Andy, his
son, who was taken by the beautiful but vexing sister of his dead wife. He
didn’t know what to expect when he met Kate, but it wasn’t undeniable desire.

Torn by attraction, driven
by hatred, tempered by their love for a child, Stephen and Kate fight their
growing feelings across the country to the wilds of Colorado. If he cannot
convince Kate to trust him before she learns the truth about his past, he could
lose Andy —but his demons are all the ammunition she needs to keep the boy for
good.

London, 1814

Remington Hawthorne, Earl of Latham,
has spent his life protecting the Crown. When he’s assigned to play the part of
lover to Emma Masterson, one of the few female spies in England and the one
woman he can’t forget, he’ll have to risk his heart as well as his life.

It isn’t easy being an independent
woman, much less a spy. Perpetually tasked with proving she is as valuable as
any man in her profession, the last thing Emma needs is to be reunited with the
one man who makes her want to forget her duties and get lost in passion.

Pretending to be his mistress isn’t
difficult—remembering that it is all a charade is the challenge. With every
glance, every touch, every kiss, she is drawn deeper under his spell and pulled
further from her goals. She refused him once, but it will take every ounce of
strength to not give in to the passion that still burns strong…
